hmm - beginning to sound like a broken wire somewhere else then.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking!

Unfortunately the line looks OK and nothing is resting on it.

riceburner, Thanks for the info and photo!

Hmm OK, I looked at the final drive after removing the pick up block and the castellated ring seems to be in place, affixed to the hub and rotates with the hub when I spin the wheel. Should the crenels (openings) on the castellated ring be somewhat off centre (left & right) of the magnet in the ...

Thanks for all replies. My Rockster is a non-ABS version and the speedometer does sometimes flicker. I did remove the pick up block and inspected that, but did not look in to the final drive, so will do that and see if there is a loose castellated ring that needs to be pushed back in the hub. Thanks...

I was out for a ride and all of a sudden the speedometer needle and odometer on my Rockster stopped working. Checked all connections behind the instrument cluster and the bit that goes in to the final drive, but all seemed fine. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks,

It was another great day to be on two wheels! The 2009 Turkey Pro National was a huge success thanks to Al Hartman and all the volunteers that made it possible. The weather was beautiful and I can't help but wonder if Snuffy didn't have something to do with that! It turned out to be one of the warme...

So, question, what is a Blackster? I ask because I suspect that is the paint scheme I have - all back plastics with a chequered flag motif across the oil cooler covers, along with blue frame, cylinder head covers, forks and wheels: http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll71/Maxis500/rockster/bmw1.jpg ...

Has anyone done this and can they clear the tank and oil cooler cowling? I tour less and like to take the old girl out in the twisties and think I'd like to get lower and forward.... Bob's BMW did a Rockster 'special' called the Bobster a few years ago and they used F650 ST handlebars. The bars wer...

Confirming a swirling rumor, I got my letter yesterday. DeSimone Powersports in South Jersey will be closing their doors for good on November 25th. Along with BMW, the Victory, Ducati, and Triumph lines will be gone too.... I'm bummed. I was happy with my dealer..... Time to make a checklists list ...

Sure, will do!

Squires is a great spot to hang out and get a decent bite to eat. I was just there a couple of months ago and hope I can make your 3rd Tuesday meet sometime. http://www.philadelphiariders.com/gallery/SquiresCafeBar :smt006 HOWDO "phillyscott" the more the better on the Tuesday meets, BUT ...

I always take the rear rack off my Rockster when riding without panniers, but was wondering if anyone here has mounted their panniers on an R1150R/Rockster with the rack off? Does the rack help support the bag mounts in any way? When touring solo with panniers, I would prefer having my duffel bag bu...

Nice job!

I like the rear cowling as well. Did you make it?

Nice job! And I really like how you blacked-out the headers! I de-stickered my Rockster, painted the instrument cover & oil cooler covers flat black to match the tank and got the wheels powder coated gloss black. I also installed a Remus cabon fiber exhaust can with their y-pipe and got rid of t...
