Re: Engine Manual

It is a used engine with 33k miles on it in good condition for the R1150R or GS engine. I will have to have my friend inspect it since he is a motorcycle guru. I will take as many pictures as possible as this is my first time, so I'll know where everything goes back together! Thank you for pointing ...

Engine Manual

Does anyone know a place where I can get a manual for the engine since I am swapping it with a new one? I will be swapping out my busted engine for a new one, but would like the reassurance that I can still proceed with a little guidance. Anyone know any websites? Or perhaps some previous posts? I h...

Fender Swap on 2002 R1150R

I love my bike, but since I'm completely overhauling my engine, I thought I'd take the time to customize the bike to make it my own. I'm trying to swap out the front fender or the "beak" on the bike. I've heard rumors that a K1100 fender is the same fork suspension that the front fender fi...

Re: Engine Trouble

Yes, my bike does make the tic tic tic tic sound... I was told that it was the timing belt or something to that fact. (sorry I've only been riding for 5 months) I'm still new at all the terminology. The mechanics at the shop were very very vague in telling me what was wrong, only listing the parts t...

Re: Engine Trouble

Thank you to everyone! I was able to locate a used engine from BeemerBoneyard! Now to work on my bike and really understand what makes this machine move. Of all the people who ride, not one of you suggested to part it out, which makes me stand behind my decision to keep the bike and make it my own. ...

I need a 2002 R1150R Small Block Engine

I need a small block engine. Anyone know where I can find a used engine? I've tried craigslist but everyone is selling a bike not the part I need....I'd rather fix it instead of part out my bike like everyone is suggesting to me. I just can't bear the thought of it. I live in Walnut Creek, Northern ...

Engine Trouble

How often does an R1150R need oil? What are the "rings" in the engine? I think I may have broken one of these. Does this mean the pistons seized up? There was no oil left in the little sideview ring. Oil was running down the left side of the engine too. I haven't drained the oil to see if ...
