Re: I return with a $2200 bike

I consider lubing of the splines the excuse to open it and inspect, so you can feel better and move on.

OP. SICK deal. Id buy a busted up 1150 for 2200 CONGRATS!

Re: Bike Value and Upgrades

yeah its annoying... but Im not selling my bike...so dont care lol

the annoying thing is the compulsory comments about the bikes price, such as: "BMW huh, must be nice to afford that, you must make more than I do"

Re: How do you get your bike to start in the teens?

I'd been putting the bike on the tinder all night and then throttling down and holding it in the AM for a couple minutes until the idling was steady. Then putting on my gear, disconnecting the tinder, etc. I read that these bikes do not need to warm up but can just fire up and off ya go. I loosened...

Re: Clutch Slave Cylinder Removal

On the right-hand-side of the bike, the crossbar in front of the rear shocker is clamped by two bolts. Undo them and the transverse bolt on the footpeg carrier, then move to the LH side. Often the bolt at the top of the rhomboid-shaped footpeg carrier on that LH side is dry-welded into the alloy cr...

do NOT trust your phone to the pockets in a downpour[/img] I stuff a plastic grocery bag in the seat trunk, wrap my phone and wallet in it and then stick it in a (waterproof) gear pocket. For cold, I use tourmaster stuff. If it's warm, I'll use the JR liner on top and a pair of cheap plastic campin...

Re: New to me R1150R needs work

cutting out may be the hall effect sensor. especially since you mention corrosion... that tells me its been sitting out getting cold and wet.... :( replace transmission oil seal whilst inside. check the input splines real close. take your time.

most pics probably uploaded and linked to Photobucket. which changed its policy, to no longer allow free usage. Links now dead, unless original user pays. :(

there is PLENTY of Beemer ABS service info available though!
