My understandin is that the red line at 50 kph is there for a different reason. It is the maximum speed in some European countries in the city and by law the speedo has to have a red line at 50 kph.

Sir,

You might want to check the camshaft sensor. When they are faulty, can also give some strange errors, more or less like the one you describe.

Sir,
Vibrations in the pegs can also be a sign of driveshaft going south. During removal of the gearbox you might want to check it.

@maxfnz: possibly have two fans in series (each one will have 6V)?
If you want, you can have a switch to set them in parallel if you want to have the full capacity of the fan.

For my R1150GSA, I found it easier to loosen the lower bolt when bike still on the wheels, and not on the center stand. Then you can loosen the bolt, without removing part of the muffler.

Sir,
Usually this is a sign of the cable failing. The cable doesn't provide stable revolutions anymore to the unit, hence the differences in speed.

Sir,

You might want to be careful how much load you put on that plug. Reading your list sounds as if it could be too high, better check in the manual how much is allowed (max 5 Amps, as a guess?)

Sir, do both tubes turn? Does the lower clamp rotate when compared to the upper? My first hunch would be that one caliper is not functioning. Temperatures of both disks should be more or less similar.
