Is a Y-pipe/silencer change and performance chip worth the expense?

I bought back the '04 R1150R that I put over 104K on. I sold my '05 RT which had a Ztechnik can on it. The cat was replaceds with a Y pipe as well. I suspect it had a performance chip in the Motronic but I never took it apart to verify that. The entire bike just ran so stinking good and strong so I'...

In need of touring shield for R1150R

I bought back my '04 R1150R. It once had the touring screen and laminar lip extension but sadly those are gone. There is a decent shield on it now but it doesn't give me the coverage I'd like. So if anyone has one I'd be a willing and happy purchaser. I really need the 4 mounts as well. Hardware I c...

In need of a BMW Touring shield

I know this isn't the buy/sell area (I'll put there too) but I'm looking for as much exposure as possible. I bought back my '04 R1150R.

Re: BeemerBash 2025

I need to update this to say sadly my plans for a bash event here in Staunton are not coming together as I feared. I may as well say it...... just going to happen. I was hoping to get some participation from Frontline BMW in Salem and they just simply won't return calls, messages and emails. That in...

Re: BeemerBash 2025

Phil we didn't have any damage here other than a few trees down. I wouldn't expect any issues at all come spring.

Re: Starting Issue

Can we assume you've checked all the appropriate switches? Some are kinda obvious but easy to overlook. It's in neutral, kill switch to on/run etc. On center stand with side stand up and so on.

Re: BeemerBash 2025

Phil I fear you're correct. Not much goes on here anymore. Plus the 1150 is long in the tooth now. I'll try posting this on ADV as well. I don't have many contacts beyond the bikersdozen group. Please circulate this to any you know. We've got a year so there's time.

BeemerBash 2025

Some of you might remember the annual Bash we’d hold here in the east in May. Around 10 years ago I hosted it here in Staunton, Va. It’s generally the 3rd weekend in May. I’m planning to do it again May of 2025. I will secure a motel large enough to handle us (2014 I think we had roughly 35 riders)....

Re: Fuel Line Quick Disconnect

The fuel line QD's are a very common failure point on the R's. Gt a set from BeemerBoneyard. I think about $100 last time I checked. They're plated brass and will last a very long time. Not difficult to replace.

Re: Cheap GS-911

I'm sorry you didn't get a response on your query. Sadly it seems few folks are still following this forum and wonderful resource. The 1150R is a wonderful machine. I'm on my 3rd R1150. Great bikes.

I bought new stick coils from Euro Moto a couple years ago for my RT. Good folks to deal with. Half the price of BMW.

Re: R1150R Quit

Looked in the Clymer book. Apparently the Hall sensor controls only spark. You don't suppose a sidestand switch failure? That would be odd for sure. Just wondering what would interupt fuel delivery.

Re: R1150R Quit

So apparently fuel is getting to the injectors but sounds like it's not getting out of them into the cylinders (since there's no fuel smell in exhaust). I wonder if there is a loss of spark as well. I say that wondering if the hall sensor triggers the injectors (by way of the motronic) as well as th...

Re: AF-XIED? Spiegler brake lines?

I've installed Spiegler on my '05 RT. Oher than more plumbing with ABS I don't think it's all that different. Their stuff is great quality as well as customer service.
