Re: Battery tender recommendation

I have four of the Battery Tender Plus units that I have used for many years without any problems. I've seen them advertised for around forty dollars on line and at Costco.

Re: signal minder only half minding

I've had my signal minder for 12 years without an issue, I'm guessing here, have you checked the front and rear signal bulbs?

Re: Tire wear

Your tire pressure is way to high, recommended pressure is, F-32psi R-36psi. Check your manual for 2up pressure.
I average 7-10 thousand miles per set of tires.

Good luck with your new toy,

Re: New guy here

Tek, If it has been well maintained and has the records to prove it, go for it, at $3000.00 or less you can sell it if you don't like it without losing much. Some would consider the engine barely broken in at 80 K. I've got a 2002 non abs model with 44 K and other than normal maintenance, batteries ...

Re: Adding lights......question on switching

When I purchased my bike new in 2002, I had the dealer install the motolights with the autoswitch. When the motolights are turned on, a small LED illuminates from next to the left handlebar grip to let me know they are on.

Re: Rockster or not ?

I believe the rockster has a wider rear rim & tire than the roadster and does not have the roadsters "beak".

Re: High gear clutch slipping

Vexlax,
I don't know where in NY you are, there is a great BMW/Ducati repair shop in Middletown, NY, called European Cycle Service (ECS). If your looking for a good mechanic I highly recommend them.

Re: Found an R1150R to buy, have a SEAT question

I have the stock seat that came with the bike, if your low seat is in very good shape, I would trade with you.
