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

Some how the part numbers in this area don't match the Chicago BMW site, here is what I got for the piston and Spring: Piston 11311340592 Spring 11311335584 There is no available part for the cylinder unless this is the correct one: but shows as Housing. 11311340726 Web site I looked at: http://www....

Airman, thanks for the response...I was not thinking about a lead acid battery but the gel battery that I have is crap.

Aloha all Haven't been in the board for a while but here I am again. I'm here again because I need some help with my Battery which its dying and I need replacing it...The current one is BMW Gel Cel made by Exide and it only lasted me 2 years, even with a tender the thing is dying and I'm trying to d...

Unfortunatelly in Hawaii there is no decent injector cleaning service.....I think I'll send mine to Torrance.

Yes the filter was replaced at 19.6K miles, bike has 20.8 K miles right now.

Hummmmm....could this be a hall sensor either going bad??? I would check that.....

My 5 cents.

Aloha Adolfo Good to hear from you, I'm sick and tired of the bike not idling correctly....I've done T/B sinks, tested fuel preassure, changed fuel filter, made sure that I have no vacum leaks, replaced vacum hoses from the T/B's to the canister.... Initially I thought that the spray pattern on the ...

Aloha All It has been a while since I posted, I was wondering if anyone of you know where I can buy a set of Fuel injectors for the R 1150 RS I don't know if the R1150R injectors are the same. Anyhow if someone knows can you pass the info to me, I really don't want to purchase them here in Hawaii......

Def The bike was retorqued and Oil changed to Castrol 20W50 a few weeks ago, the noise still remains I'm not worrying about it anymore. The bike seems to be running fine...Did a T.B adjust after retorquing the heads and doing the 180 degree nut adjustment on each screw on a cross pattern as indicate...

Jas Don't mean to doubt you but are you sure this is not pinging on your bike?? The noise on my R stays every time I goose the throtle in 4-5-6 gears at low RPM's 2K RPMS and/or arround there.... I keep thinking that it must be the timing chains....if you hear something that sounds like a raddle or ...

Aloha Well after reading cyclerobs article i think I know what happened here: 1- It looks like the previous owner of the bike did not use the proper SHORT BMW stems the one the bike had in the rear tire was I believe a car stem. 2- I happen to have cleaned the wheels with these degreaser, I spilled ...

cworley5150 Thanks for your reply, the Valve stem side simply blew up...When I was able to stop I thought that the bike had blown up, but after a few seconds I realize that it was the valve stem, it was simply hanging there (1/2 of it). The sound was like a when you blow a tire....but this was the s...

Aloha All.. I almost bit the dust yeterday on windy road here in Oahu, my rear valve Stem literaly exploded and I almost lost control of the bike while driving on a windy road here in Oahu... I'm telling you this one was scary.....specially not having ever experienced this type of failure....has any...

Checked with a timing light with the vacum hoses disconnected Ooooh.... I used to do it like that too on my 1976 Triumph TR7. That's not the correct way on a boxer, though. You are supposed to check timing statically. On trick is to use the triggering of the fuel pump at TDC. Search for the method ...

Eddiem, what rpm do you hear the clanking noise ? If you were running at 4000 and whacked the throttle, would it do it ? The only time I can reall having a noise like that was when I REALLY lugged the engine. Airman....no it makes that weird noise at lower RPM's if Im just putting along say 2K RPMS...

Aloha All Loosend and retorqued the heads this weekend, torqued with a digital torque wrench at 20 nM in cross pattern applying the 180 degree nut/angle spec, also was able to break the M10 screws and re torqued them to 40nM per the specs.....I had a hell of a time breaking the 2 M10 screws, they we...

All I know the retorking of the heads is supposed to be at 1000 KM or 600 Miles, the issue is that I bought the bike used and it looks like this was never done, the guy that I purchased the bike from moved from North Carolina to Hawaii and the retorking was never done. So I decided to do it thinking...

Ves I love your response!...It's snowing here in Hawaii....no.....the only reason I bought the darn 0W40 wight oil is because I live in a remote area of town and that was the only Syn oil they had at the store I purchased it at.....I do know that the 0 weight side of the oil is designed to work at b...

Captain Thanks for the reply...I followed the instructions on the BMW video where it indicates that the 4 head bolts need to be tighten in a cross pattern at 20 nm, I noticed that M10 screw was so super tight that I was afraid to break so I did not retorqued the m10 screw. I did do the cross patern ...

It was a pleasure, thanks for all your help from the other side of the world! I appreciate it! Hope to see you on the site again!
