BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Had the day off today and of course it rained. So I spent time in the ManCave working on my R bike. My plan was to pull off the flat black tank I have and switch it with the gloss black one I bought off Fleabay a few months ago. All I had to do was swap out the fuel pump assembly and the gas cap ass...

Pictures please!

Hey RVB1019, I like what you've done with those lights....I think I'm going to do the same. I've got some questions for you, please: 1. Can you provide more details on how you mounted them in the oil cooler bolt holes (any up close pics)? 2. Any challenges or things to be careful of in order to mou...

Ive use a battery jump pack but connecting one end to the starter and the other to the frame. JUmps up no problem.

Ordered my set in November and finally got around to installing them on my 2002 R1150R today. In a word- AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried posting my pics of the install here but the site doesn't like my photos for some reason. Here is a link to my install on the Advrider site: http://www.advrider.com/for...

My bad- my R is 2002 so that makes the battery 10 years old. Must have been high on turkey!

My 13 year old factory battery is starting to go. Has anyone tried the new Shorai battery on the R yet?

FYI- Max's in CT. just completed a clutch on my LT. 600- 700 in parts and then 12 hours of labor on an LT made it about $2000. Then while they were in there, they found a few more seals were leaking and throttle bodies that need to be replaced, the throttle cable, etc. I made it out just under $3700...

Better shot of mine- somewhere in the Catskills, NY

As I was about to leave on a three day ride to the Catskills Mountains, the starter finally spit the bit. My friends and I bumped started her and I rode it home. Luckily, the starter I bought of Mitch arrived earlier this week. We swapped it out and we were headed north in under 30 minutes. Thanks a...

So I have been using Seafoam in the gas to try to fix a slightly rough idle, but it was only smooth after being run real hard. So I finally added Seafoam to the engine oil at the recommended concentration. The oil turned dark fairly quickly and after ~300-400 miles I changed the oil. The bike idles...

Rather than talking about it, why not start a new one:

Hope that works!

Great job Ron!

That really looks cool!

Hi Ron,

You have to copy the actual link and then click on the URL button inside your new post. We ain't seeing nuttin here.

I have a stock original starter made by Valeo from a R1150R that you can have for $55 with $11 for shipping to your provided destination. I bought it from Leo on this web site for a spare and hope to never need it. He said it was working fine when he took it off and I cleaned it up and checked it o...

It figures that one of my first posts on this board would be regarding a breakdown with my new to me 2002 R1150R! :oops: Yup, same thing, a few sad sounding whirls from the starter and then nuttin'. A few buddies and I tested the battery before we stripped out the starter. The starter was caked in a...

EXCELLENT WRITE UP!

I just picked up my 2002 R1150R the other day and I plan on spending today getting to know her. This will really help me today!

Thanks!

Over on the Advrider forum, one of the guys who works at Bobs BMW stated they already have one on display .
