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

I've been eyeing that. It looks pretty interesting but I would like to hear from someone who owns one.

I'm at 500 miles and mine isn't using a bit of oil either. The oil is so clean it looks new. I know with the R1150R we could use regular automotive oil, but with the wet clutch on the F800ST I thought we would need something more specific to motorcycles. In the Rider's Manual is specifies API classe...

The silver oil filter is shorter and different internally, w/o that extra plastic mesh bypass filter you see when you look in the OilHead filter's opening. Most of the torque values, except the frame bolts, are in the owner's manual. Is the E-Bay purchase the BMW DVD? So the oil filter is different...

I'm not quite there yet, but sometime next week I'll need to do my 600 mile service. Looking at the list of things to perform, it looks quite simple. It's not much more than an oil change and verifying the torque on some fasteners. For the oil change it appears to use the same filter as the R1150R. ...

touchton, The twin FIAMMs look like they'd fit: --In the L & R body panel cavities between the front signal and BMW emblem. --Off the lower front body panel bracket engine bolt adjacent to the heat exchanger and it's partner on the other side. --Replacing the stock horn in it's location and in ...

I agree the headlight on this bike is much better than what we've been accustomed to. I'm adding the lights primarily to make the bike more visible to other drivers. I've already had several people try to make a left turn in my path. Nobody did that when I rode the R1150R. I really think the additio...

I'm going to do the same to my F800ST this weekend. I purchased a zumo 660 and Motolights that will require electrical work. The zumo will be simple; just wire to the switched power block. The Motolights are a different story. I'm thinking about installing the on/off switch on the black plastic fram...

I'm with you! I purchased a 2009 F800ST today. I'll pick mine up tomorrow. Mine looks just like CycleRob's except mine has ABS. Strange we did it on the same day. Not quite as strange as Michael Jackson and Farrah Faucet passing away on the same day, but strange non the less. So, Rob, when is the Te...

I went with the dual FIAMM horns. Here's how they were installed:

Those that want can PM me their cell #'s for a hook up at the Rally.

Uh. I don't think so.....

Here's the link I use to get to the board:

I rode the F800ST today and I really like it. It feels so nimble. I don't' have a problem with the more aggressive stance. Like Boxer, I'm a Lane Bryant gal, but I've been going to the gym and my core muscles are in the best shape they've been since I was a kid. If you need to get in shape, look int...

I'm going to the dealer in Nashville tomorrow morning to ride the F800ST. I doubt that I'll buy anything but I do want to see what all the fuss is about.

I'm almost done with work and will leave Nashville as soon as I'm packed. I'll be there by 10:00am tomorrow. See you then!

I'm actually considering it....... I'll have to stay in a motel. Is there a Dairy Queen close by?

Had a great time. Except maybe that period where we were riding on a gravel road. But, I'll get a lifetime of enjoyment making life a living hell for the one responsible! I left Nashville after the storm came through Thursday and never had to put on my rain gear. Had a temporary setback in Lexington...

I'll be there as well. Sometime late afternoon or early evening.

This indicates to me you may have a stuck brake light switch. Check both the front and rear levers to make sure the switch is releasing.

Wow. That's impressive!

I'll be there as well. I'm staying with Paris Hilton's Sherpa Service (Hampton Inn).
