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

OK, let's regurgitate this one. After 7 years on my 2002 r1150r, I am finally in the position to do some longer rides and touring type of stuff. I have a small Givi windscreen that is more a nuisance than anything else. I am looking for a large windscreen that offers the most protection from the win...

I run mine pretty hot. I'm averaging around 4500-5000k out in the twisties and open roads and 3500-4000k in the city and in SoCal traffic.

I have the Stylmartin Legend R and like them a lot. Really durable and comfortable.

yes, I did the same thing. I had to get directly over it and then push down with the full weight of my body, almost lifting myself. It snapped in. But yes, it is a poor design.

Well, this happened as I was riding on my 02 1150r. Obviously not on purpose, but still a fact. Yes, I felt like an idiot. I was doing about 75mph in 5th gear and was riding for some time. I stretched my left leg forward above the cylinder head and when I was returning my leg to it's original positi...

Does anybody have a recommendation for a bike lock or had success (or failure) with any specific product.. I see a lot of disk locks out there but really don't know much about any of them. Also wondering if BMWs are a high interest target for thieves. I have an 02 1150r.

This is good input. I don't really care for the back patch thing or the "look"...to each their own-just not for me. I like all kinds of motorcycles and I guess if I was going to have a cruiser it would be the Moto Guzzi California. Harleys are OK, if I had to buy one it probably would be a...

OK, strange question here: Has anybody ever been to Sturgis on a BMW. Am I asking for trouble? I have some friends that ride cruisers (HDs) and want to go and have asked if I want to join. I have never had a lick of trouble tooling around here in socal with my cruiser buddies but not sure what the v...

I hear a rattling noise when I am riding around on surface streets. It is coming from either the gauges, headlamp, or turn signals. I have checked everything and it seems tight. I can't seem to find anything loose. Has anybody experienced this before?

I have one and use it occasionally. When used as a backrest for the passenger, I make sure it is stuffed full to add support. Try stuffing it with small pillows if you dont have enough things to make it full.

I like it. I think it looks cool, the whole retro styling thing that has been popular lately appeals to me. I read it is going to be more expensive than 1200r. Thus, putting me out of the market. Especially for a toy. My 1150r has become part of my life and daily travel. It is utilitarian and fun. I...

There was somebody that put Line X on their cases and it looked pretty cool.

I sit in gear as well...that is what is taught in the MSF course. Exactly for the reason you explained.

I bought a new "metalized" rear seat cover on ebay. Has anybody had any experience with these. The cover looks in new condition and does not appear to be broken but it will not snap in to the rear seat space. It fits fine, but wont lock or "seat"... You mean this R1150R (Rockste...

This has absolutely nothing to do with our bike, but it looks like someone is being put on notice. They are supposedly running this on cable and a few network spots.

just wondering, how many miles did you have on it when the splines went out?

and welcome!

Just wondering how many miles you got out of the old pads

Oh BTW, I am in no way comparing Grandma's crap to your great bike...just a comparison in feelings.
