Re: R1200 Engine Info

I think its pulling keywords from the subject and then grabbing posts from other forums that have similar subjects but I couldn't find post with that exact wording. interesting bu...

Re: Rockster Headlights

I wrapped the little white plastic ball-joint receptacle that is screwed to the bottom of the light housing that is for the large adjuster. mine was quite loose. you might have to experiment with how much tape. I used fabric loom tape but im sure electrical tape will be fine. https://live.staticflic...

Re: Where to get Decals other than OEM

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SCbfrbQY8p8 Note the blacked out Rockster cap and oil cooler covers. I'm undecided about the covers but will keep my green Rockster cap, pre-crashed & scratched, with waterproof Band-Aid I applied on purchase day. My right side oil cooler cover is also scratched, a...

Re: 2004 noise from front of engine. overrun pulley?

that would be cool. happy if you want to start the thread since you're the old hand here. I'm just a drip under pressure ! .....with a welder. so many options with this style of front end geom.

Re: I'm Baaaaaaa-aack!

Mine is not ABS, I don't like it, and I've never bought an R259 with it. But even the non-ABS bikes have that u-shaped union. I would recommend the Brembo calipers, it's a simple bolt on swap. The 2-line, double banjo bolt braided hoses upgrade i also Highly Recommend. Be aware that the Brembos wil...

Re: Where to get Decals other than OEM

I repainted mine using the same scheme but I’ve altered the colours. I went over the top of the existing colour blocks and just replaced the ‘r1150r’ decals. They were exact copies although I requested them in bright red to go with my scheme. I have a spare set in a two colour set which was slightl...

I agree....no not for 'conspicuousness' (LOL) Cant have enough light at night! right?! esp riding at night in Australia with the our two legged bouncing wildlife that tend to be invisible and jump out at the last minute.

Re: 2004 noise from front of engine. overrun pulley?

I had a Wilbers on my DR650 is was nice. yes at the rear. cleaner and with the way the rockster arm specifically is welded it was easier to do what I did. Although in hindsight I would have modded the ball mount end due to the other issues it created. The other versions of the arm are easier to mod ...

Re: Power commander

I think it could definitely benefit from a power commander. as any bike with mods or even stock, as long as its tuned properly. I removed my cat also and installed a y pipe and had a pretty horrible running bike IMHO. I Had a Wideband O2 controller handy and a Wideband Sensor so what I did was re-pr...

Where to get Decals other than OEM

Hi all, does anyone know where to replacement decal sets? Specifically for the Rockster to match OEM. The BMW ones are very pricey. Otherwise I think I can get vinyl colour-matched from a place like this:https://www.colorxlabs.com/products/color-match-wrap-vehicle-wrap-that-matches-oem-paint-color b...

Re: 2004 noise from front of engine. overrun pulley?

Just find a GS item first and see how it feels. I've done that mod twice and it makes quite a difference. Rockster Paralever is 385mm GS Paralever is 365mm. Also, bear in mind that the shock lengths differ over the range of bikes. do people who put in a custom link go much shorter than 365mm? have ...
