looks like where the air filter sits.

I have a set of mounts from a R11GS that also fit my R1150R that I would sell. They are the ones without the grab handles. Let me know if you're interested.

I have the OD 6th and like it. I'll have to try holding at 65. I don't often go that slow. I'm afraid I'll get run over

The pinging is primarily in first gear, just as I have left off the clutch. Yes, the bike was getting hot, but I was going through normal city traffic. Traffic lights close together (and always RED :x ) with little room between to air it out. I'm hoping that there is a problem. I don't want this to ...

Very nice! You use the eyebolts to hang the cases when you aren't using them or are they for bunjees? And what are the four bolts on the front side of the left case?

I advanced the timing this morning from 1 to 2 deg, but didn't notice much change. I think Beemeridian may be right about the carbon build up. It has about 2k miles on the plugs and air filter. I pulled the plugs to do the timing adjustment, and they looked fine, but I'm starting to run out of ideas...

I'm getting a hot smell, but not burning oil. Not sure if the pipes are red, it's too bright to tell. Riding on the highway today, I'm beginning to suspect that I'm also getting some pinging when accelerating at highway speeds. It's hard to tell because wind noise masks it, but I'm definitely gettin...

Twice now I've been in some stop and go traffic on relatively cool (around 80F) days and noticed symptoms of overheating. I understand that this is an oil cooled bike, so this can be an issue. I've never had this happen on my other oil cooled bike. Just trying to see if what I'm noticing is normal. ...

Boot 'em. Don't let them get away with that #$%#! State Farm $295 /yr comprehensive w/ $500 deductable for an 02R1150R. I do get a multi-line duscount for cars, house, etc... A buddy of mine went with a motorcycle only insurance co. Forget the name, but he pays about $120 / yr for liability only on ...

I don't have any RR specific advice as I haven't had this problem on my bike. Standard procedure on a car is to hook up an ammeter (ie a multimeter that reads current) in series with the battery. If you read something more than micro amps, you do indeed have a problem. Pull fuses one at a time (repl...

I had the can off briefly while installing cyclerob's system case pins. Next time I take it off, it will probably stay off. I'm a fan of the low or no muffler for the larger capacity left case, if for no other reason. Just need to pick up a curved piece to direct the exhaust away or down. Which mode...

Here's a pic I took on delivery day:


Here's today:

Went about 150 miles today. Wasn't saddle sore until near the end. There may be hope for the seat. I wouldn't upgrade it until the winter anyway, so this seat has some time. As soon as I figure out how to post pics I'll show you why yellow with stripes is the best color. Is this the model called the...

HI! Just started riding the '02 R1150R. I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!. I've been lurking around here for a little while and want to thank everyone for all the great info I've gathered from this site. I do all my own work and was able to perform the 24K maintenance with the help and direction of many great pos...
