Re: WTB: used slip on exhaust

I have a new stock exhaust off a 2004 R1150R if that is what you are looking for. Let me know your zip code so I can find out how much shipping would be. As for how much to charge is up to you. What do you want to pay and I will try to make it happen ?

Neutral Light

Haven't been riding much lately and on my last adventure I noticed my Neutral light is not visible at low idle speeds. If I rev it up I can see the light so I know it is not the bulb. Was thinking maybe my alternator belt needs to be tighter but have investigated it as of yet. Any suggestions would ...

Re: swing arm bushings

I have a new JL Paralever final drive bushing that I never got around to installing that you can have for $100 shipped. There are two bushings in the kit with instructions and it looks like the inner race is made of brass or bronze.

Re: Clock Stopped

Just went out and checked fuse #3 and guess what, it was blown and when I put a new fuse in the back button let me set the time. Who would think that a fuse would prevent the button that turns the arms. Thanks everyone, saved me a bundle from trying to buy a new clock.

Re: Clock Stopped

But that would not stop me from being able to set the clock. I can not get the button in the back of the clock to move the arms so I figured it must be broken.

Clock Stopped

Back in September I went to set my clock back for day light savings and the blasted thing stopped working. It did not just stop but the pin you push in the back to move the hands does not work. The clock is stuck at 4:00, has anyone else had a problem with the clock? Do I need to find a new one or d...

Re: Replacement Horn for r1150r

I pulled a horn off my VW Rabbit Diesel. You could use a horn off any car, they are all 12v. Mine sounds like a semi and people get out of my way when they hear it.

Re: ABS or not ABS?

I had the same thoughts before I bought my bike new back in 2004. I was working with a doctor that had a stable full of bikes. He told me that the ABS saved his life once and that was enough reason to have it. Like I said he had a stable full with a variety to choose to ride and money was not an iss...

Re: Well... It's My Turn Now...

I drilled a small 1/4 inch hole in the lower tabs through the metal posts that the cases rest on and put spring pins through the holes to hold the cases on. No more worry and easy to take the pins out to remove the cases when I ride naked. Can't remember where I found the fix but you can probably go...

Re: Lowering a 1150?

I bought a pair of Wilber Shocks lowered 1 inch and discovered that the side stand did not lean enough and the center stand was impossible to lift. Bought a used side stand and center stand off of E-Bay and had them both cut down. After 12 years of riding my 1150R and fearing stop lights and stop si...

Re: Left nut hurts & sweating on one side after evening ride

Go to the Emergency room. You could have a left testicle torsion from bouncing on the seat too hard. It is nothing to mess around with get to the ER. [-X

Shortening a center stand and the side stand.

Lowered my 2004 R1150R and now the side stand is too long making the bike stand straight up and the center stand is impossible to use. I bought a used side stand and center stand and plan on cutting and welding to take off an inch or more. Any one have any suggestions on where to make the cuts. Abov...

Instrument Lights

2004 R1150R Speedometer & Tach lights are not working but all the warning lights still light up. Checked fuse #1 and it looks fine. Do not think it is the bulbs since both are out. Any suggestions? :-k

Re: new shocks dilemma?

Just read your dilemma about your shocks. I have the address of a company in Canada that rebuilds stock BMW shocks but I would have to dig up the information if you are still interested. I also have a pair of stock shocks off a 2004 BMW Roadster that have 5000 miles on them that you could have for $...

You may have accidently left the old rubber gasket from the preivous oil filter stuck to the housing. It happened to me, after removing the new filter I discovered the old gasket was still attached.

Re: Nitrogen in tires.

Malarkey, the air you normally put in your tires contain 78% nitrogen to begin with. There is no added benefit to adding any additional nitrogen.
