Steve was wondering how the plastic dip was holding up and have you painted anything else with it.

My canister was not on my bike when I got it and the tank was always pressurized and hard to open, CycleRob re-routed and correctly plumbed lines no more suction in tank. Sounds like something happened , am still not running the canister we are going to put it under the tank (non abs) as Rob says it...

Its ordered, I went with front and rear thanks for the help Rob .
You should post the link about the Trane thermostat in "Off Topic" pretty cool device.

Have a leak in the front oem brake line on my 1997 r850 non abs the 6" one that goes into the caliper. Am having a hard time finding replacement kit for the front lines a couple of places have kits with no real description of what is in the kit exactly. does any one know where to find s.s.kits ...

I think you can get the kit at beemer boneyard could not get a rebuild for the rear on mine but noticed the front kit when I ordered a new rear master.

Does it die regardless of the rpm's? does it feel like a switch shutting it down or does it just chug until it dies like its starving for fuel?

New tires really make a diff. I use Carbone Lorainne sintered pads from Beemer Boneyard (Hope I spelled that right) they work well,the back pads were going so I bought front and rear but really did not have to change the fronts yet just cleaned the front calipers and pads looks like 5-10k still on t...

Wayne and crew a few weeks ago i took the 97 r850 out to warm it up and air the tires i put it on the center stand still running and was going to grab a cup of joe and as i was walking away i smelled gas , turned around and gas was pouring down on the hot exhaust pipe sizzling, switched the key off ...

Last Sat CycleRob showed me how to adjust the valves which turned out were barely out of spec and also we filled the manometer I made modeled after Robs with rubbing alcohol, splash of water and food coloring and then tuned the throttle bodies which also needed practically no adjustment ( I think Ro...

Am glad you got to meet and work with the "Man".I have had the pleasure to work on my bike with Rob a few times and I always come away with a profound respect for his knowledge and willingness to help a fellow biker. And as you say you also get to meet his lovely wife and the new addition ...

I dont recommend using any kind of charger long term . I have used trickle / maintenance chargers in the past for weeks at a time and started to notice on at least two or three batteries only lasted a couple of years , one in particular was in a truck it was a maintenace type you add distilled water...

I would think a good battery would last for weeks if not a couple of months without charging , Mine has been in a un heated garage for 5-6 weeks (Pc-680) since I got a new to me pickup it turned over about two times and fired right up. I dont ever use battery tenders and don't ever recommend them to...

I put gs hand guards on my 850r for about $40 i think they were from a 1100gs but they look like my buddies 1150 gs as well. Am thinking they came from Max's BMW. They work ok just not very pretty. No modifications just bolt on. Good Luck

Have a safe and wonderful Christmas as well as a Happy New Year

I agree many of the songs listed are great songs but I always thought it had to be AZBMWRIDER'S choice ! A close second would be Bob Seger's " Roll Me Away"
Just saying
