I have put a touring MRA screen on my 2001 R1150r it is excellent and specifically made for the model and make. It fits onto the current brackets and all screws etc are supplied. It took about 15 minutes to change the screens and the difference is amazing. Great for all heights as the screen has an ...

Hello all, sorry for my delay in getting back to you all but I have to say that the victory is sweet :o :D :D . I have managed to ship over the motor thanks to the guys in Birmingham Alabama they were great guys and really came through. I have had the bike back on the road for a while now and it is ...

Hey Rob, I am in the process of shipping a motor from my 1150r from the states the guys I have been dealing with are tops. I got the Motor for US$700 and I got on to good guys in QLD to ship it across. I will give you a cost break down once I get it to Sydney but the chap I was dealing with was Ted ...

Thanks AndyRR, I have to say the guy I am dealing with really does sound fair dinkum, he has given a wide range of options that started from repair, to scrap to replace. He was reluctant to replace with the Australian prices we were getting. As for the damage, well all I can say is that when it happ...

On an updaye guys the mate with the shipping solution fell through so I am back to getting it shipped through the guy in Queensland. Will keep you posted.

Sorry guys I have not been on for a while chasing the details. Ok first up I am not the most technically minded or should I say I dont get all the parts right DOH!!! Essentially the cam chain tensioner I am guessing they are now although my mechanic described them as the rods that keep the tension o...

Thanks guys, saw the one on ebay enquiry already underway, trying to get it to Australia the real challenge.

Ok guys as much as it breaks my heart to say it my previous problem was much more serious than first expected. I have blown a tensioner rod inside the motor and it is to expensive to get the new parts and repair. I am on the look out for a reconditioned/ second hand motor for the 1150. Possibly one ...

Thanks for the tip sunbeamer, I did as you suggested and found where the sound is coming from I am pretty sure it is the altenator it is above the motor at the front just under the petrol tank and appears to have a coil so I am fairly confident it is the altenator. So all I have to do is get it to t...

Excellent thanks guys knew I could get some good feed back on here

Thanks boxer really appreciate the feed back will get it out for a run and have a look at getting the battery charger you mentioned. I am afraid it will probably have to be the mechanic as I am not great on engines. Thanks again

Hi Guys hoping you can help me on this one. I have a 2001 R1150R, it has 183,000 klms on it. It has been really bad weather and I have not been riding for at least a month. To keep it charged etc I have started it once a week, to turn over the motor and charge the battery etc. To date there has been...

Hey I am the proud owner of a R1150r 2001, just got it a month ago, like you avoided them becuase of the cost and not being mechanically minded myself was very wary o getting a bike of the age with 183k on it. However, the service history is a big thing, my one has not missed a beat in 10 years ever...

Thanks for the photos guys now I know what colour my new 1150 is

Hello To All, I just bought a R1150r 2001 model, pick it up next week. It has a lot of K's on the dail 183000 but I could not resist the price and condition. She is pretty much immaculate for a 10 year old, and only one owner who obviously loved her. The service record is faultless continually looke...
