Re: Boxer side sliding

thanks for your replies. The police took nearly 5 months to produce their expert calculations and it turned out to be 11 pages long full of formulas and generalities. They did not adress the point I made from day one that a comparative data on the sliding distances of different types of motorcycles ...

Boxer side sliding

Hi all, I wonder if anyone here has had a similar experience. Last May I had an accident where a driver coming from the opposite direction made a sudden right turn crossing my lane. Afterwards of course the driver said she had not seen me coming. Applying all the brakes available the bike went down ...

Re: Fuel Spraying when Braking?

I had an identical problem couple of weeks ago. It was the quick connect that caused it. The spray was so fine that I never actually saw it, only smelled the gasoline when the bike was still but engine running. A scary feeling actually.

side case mounting

I have been trying to find an online dealer that sells the OEM side case mountings. Can´t find any. Anyone know where to look.

Re: Handlebar raisers

I fitted the mototech risers a few days ago without any refitting of cables or hoses. I find the bike to handle even better than before and the position is more relaxed. Just perfect.

Re: footrest lowering

I have just fitted the Suburban and adjusted the brake pedal accordingly without problems. i also installed the gearshifter from suburban. The result is that I don´t need a higher seat.

Handlebar raisers

Does anyone have any comments on this? Raising the handlebar and moving it back. Are there many types and anything that I should avoid?

Re: Certain doubts

Well I bought the bike yesterday and brought it home today. A 2005 RR, with 6k miles on the clock. It looks great and rides great. Certainly different from my previous F650GS single cylinder which is also a great bike. I would have loved to keep it too, but one bike is enough. Anyway, first thing I ...

Certain doubts

Hi all, I have been reading your forum for the last few days and picked up a lot of info on the R1150R. I am considering buying a 2005 non ABS version but after reading your threads I don´t know what to think. First of all; Abs or non ABS. My conclusion is to go with the ABS, not so much because I w...

Re: Newbie, about to buy a R1150R

Thanks very much for informative replies. I am seriously considering buying the bike. Partly because I think it looks great and partly because I really liked riding it; I think it must have the lowered seat but I will find out for sure. Anyway, that will have to change before any serious touring is ...

Newbie, about to buy a R1150R

Hi all, I am new to this forum. I have for the last 3 years ridden a F650GS but am now considering changing over to a R1150R. I have one particular bike in mind, a 2005 non ABS -which I am not sure if is a good thing or bad - my 650 did not have ABS, its got 10K on the clock and seems in a very good...
