Front shocks leaking? Not normal behavior.

If you're physically able, it would be beneficial to start the bike and verify that all functions and then drain fluids and replace with new. Even the smallest amount of moisture can turn acidic and have negative effects on the crankcase / gearbox/ transmission. Most of all, I wish you improved medi...

I've always heard that Forward Air https://www.forwardair.com/prepaid/MCmainpage.jsp is the cheapest way to ship but I don't think it will be as cheap as you are looking for.

Really cool. Don't I owe you a beer or three?

Need to look at the schedule. I'm working a strange 48 hours in 4 days followed by 4 days off. If I'm on shift then, I may just have to take vacation.

Thanks for all the info. I have homework now.

My 2004 R1150RS

Title pretty much says it all. I'm a heavy guy and sometimes I feel like I get more road sense through my posterior than others. Any way to tell for sure if a shock has gone bad? '04 R1150RS

I find that mechanics wire (I think that's what it's called) combined with a liberal amount of WD-40 works well. I purchased a bike a few years ago and it hadn't seen much riding and the drain hole had rusted shut barely. Mechanics wire and wd-40 solved it for me and the problem hasn't returned as m...

Looks like my plans will be changing a tad. I'm not liking the idea of staying somewhere other than the campground - time to ride to motel and time to ride back. I'll most likely commit sacrilege and haul my bike down in my truck and then just sleep in the truck. Don't have a tent any longer (and do...

I also am looking for the same for my R1150RS but to go stock will run me over $700 and just can justify it.

Canadian rockies - stunning picture

more than 2 beers would make this the worst day since yesterday (nudge)

Enlightening and 'fairly' accurate.

I'll take a waffle

Jeff, (Biff) when do you plan to head down? I will be working until 10PM on Thursday night and then plan to head out bright and early on Friday morning. My new job has me working a somewhat hectic schedule. 6AM-6PM, 6AM-6PM 24 off 6PM-6AM, 6PM-6AM followed by four days off. So basically I work 48 ho...

Yep, checked cabins. decided on royal inn. Looking forward to the trip

That would explain why it took so long for me to get the last part I requested. I bitched and bitched via email and never got a response. I called and was left on hold for entirely too long. One day, my part showed up UPS RED hahah

Still planning on coming. Don't have motel reservations yet - plan on doing that tomorrow. Gonna shoot for "Royal Inn". Checking internet reviews, it seems as though Marion Virginia has the ^%$#^%$#'iest motels on the planet.

Look forward to seeing most of you

Ordered some parts for my ride from this joint about a month and a half ago. Order was placed online. No reference to parts not being in stock when I ordered. Credit card got billed IMMEDIATELY - I assumed parts would be soon coming. Waited a few weeks, and emailed requesting information on my order...
