i'm quite positive they're OEM, but for now i'm satisfied with that being that i only had to pay the 50 dollar ded to cover it. i've only had the bike about 3 months so far and haven't really dug into yet, but perhaps within the next year i'll get the upgraded one and throw those on.

for thos in the market or for anyone expressing all around interest in aftermarket warranties i have just experienced a very good event with contego direct. for those not familiar, contego direct is featured on the BMWMOA website and also in various issues of The MOA periodical they send out. now th...

so had the bike on the tender all night and tried to fire it up today and now it makes some weird grinding noise almost when i turn the key to the ignition and it will not fire up at all now :( looks like i'm gonna have to shell out for BMW of las vegas to come pick it up and fix everything. time to...

wa wa waaaaaaaaaa! anyone in vegas area care to help me tackle this? ill buy food and beer for you? lol i may have to end up takin git to dealer :( where it'll probably cost me 200 bucks for everything if my ext warranty doesn't cover this. the guy at the dealer said it should still be fine to ride ...

boo i've already got a little bit of yellow staining from the gas on the shaft drive definitely no way to get that yellowing off there now even though it's been less than 24 hours? any suggestions?

yeah it's still leaking drop by drop out there. it's definitely that top hose, it's just slowly trickling out of there. i'm worried about which paint exactly your talking about? right now it's just getting all over the silver paint on the shaft drive? is that the same as the silver engine paint your...

hey guys, just recently discovered that my R bike is rapidly leaking fuel...do you think this could be due to the cold weather? anyways here's a pic: http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f83/defsuave/photo.jpg that top hose is what is leaking. anyone have any recommendations for quick fixes? not sure h...

LOL was totally looking at the wrong week, but yes those aliens down here can jack stuff up for us at times lOL!! thanks for the response. so there's a BMW made tender or specifc tender that can just plug right into the accessory plug down by the gear shifter? that would be loads easier but i'm sure...

lol battery harder to get to than i thought it would be, can't get the alligator clamps from the tender on without raising the gas tank a little bit. anyone got a link on the forum to an easy way to get that tank up just a bit in order to access the battery terminals?


thanks!

yep clicking more accurate description. going to try and throw it on a tender.

hi guys, as some may know, i picked up my first R back in sept, and i'm a year round rider here in las vegas. i did a search and found a thread on cold weather starting regarding different oil types to use, but i'm not too sure if it addressed what i'm actually experiencing. basically the bike has b...

LOL, i really want the newest sonicare flexcare toothbrush, any of you kinda folk in the dental profression by chance and have hook ups on these? haha.

thanks for the pics, unfortuneatly decided it'd be more beneficial right now to get a new camera! that in addition the dude never emailed me back abou tthe exhaust or returned my calls so i'm guess he eitheir sold it or something???

man i'm just debating with myself whether or not to get it. a nice throatier sound for the R would be great! but at the same time it kinda loses its luster after a couple of months lol...it's a smokin deal though, especially if the guy lets it go for 200. i'm a pretty newbie wrencher but i have a ha...

yep here's the link:

how much do these go for new?

anyone used it? i found a guy here in vegas selling the two brothers setup for the R1150R for 250 bucks. not too bad of a deal, but wondering how it sounds. if anyone has this can you hook up some sound clips?

i think you're right on par. maybe slightly low, but not too horrendous. i've only had the R since sep, but i get right around 40mpg and my mix is 50/50 city streets and highways. so i think your mpg is right on.

an update, got mine in and installed them. picked up a "less than perfect" brand new pair off ebay from manic salamander for 34 shipped. the scratches are so small one can't notice these are blemished items. anywho, i can't really tell a different with these on from the stock weights lol. ...

hey jeff could you hook up some pictures of the pearl grey?! i have the light silver one, but i was really interested in the pearl grey one but they didn't have it in stock! i'd like to see some "real pics" of it, vs the super clean studio retouched shots on the shoei website lol. i have a...

hey guys, i know we have a gear/safety forum, but being that there's only one post in there dating back to 2005, i figured it'd be more beneficial to post this in here :D so as of late, i've been in the market for really stepping up my helmet. there's a lot of good cvloseouts coming about since the ...
