I had a similiar scituation last fall where the latch broke as I was riding for no apparent reason. Fortunately I was going slow and the car behind me beeped and pointed my bag in the road. I found a bmw salvage yard close to my home and was able to buy the latch for about 125.00. It was fairly easy...

I have an 02 r1150r. I have only had it for about 6 months and am still just learning the idio syncrasies of this machine. I just completed my 24k service and all went well. I also just replaced the battery. I live in Mass. and since it has been a warm winter, I am still riding to work when able. I ...

All your ideas seem to be good ones. I had the dealer install the plate for the fuel filter/pump because I was having some issues getting back in place properly. I will bring it back to the dealer for them to look at.
Thanks for your responding!
Have a happy new year.

I have an 02 r1150r and just completed my 24k service. All went well accept i hear an occasional bang under the tank after a good size bump. I have taken the tank off and inspected and do not see anything that can be the cause. All the gromets are back in place and the rubber guides are in place. Th...

Thanks for the feedback. The assebly is very difficult to move around. It feels like the inside fuel lines are keeping me from moving it any further. I think I am going to take the lines off again and reinstall them when the plate is in position if I can. I will now have to wait for new clamps to ar...

I just recently bought an 02 r1150r with 21k miles. I have just clocked 24k and bought my kit from the Boneyard for everything I need to do. I am in the middle of replacing my fuel filter and am finding it a pain in the but! I cannot seem to get the plate in the correct position for the fuel lines t...

I am a few weeks away from performing the 6k tuneup and will look at that. thanks again for thinking of me. I appreciate it!

Thank you to everyone for all your thoughts. I am considering changing the battery soon anyway because I don't know how old it is. I will be doing a 24k service soon and will look at everything that all of you had suggested. I am also wondering if I could have a poor ground in the starting system?

I seem to be experiencing an intermittent problem that I hope someone can help me with. It has happened to me twice and on one occasion, I was about 50+ miles from home. I had been riding for several hours, pulled over to strech my legs and when I hopped back on, she would turn over, but not start. ...

I too had the same reservations you have. I just bought an 02 with 21k. There were no service records. The seller only had it for about a year and was the second owner. I was very reluctant about buying one with ABS. I had looked on Craigs List for weeks and could not find a non ABS bike. I finally ...

I am a newbie to this forum. I am still a little green so bear with me if I make a few mistakes. I just bought an 02 r1150r with a little over 21k. It was well taken care of. I had a vstrom and always wanted a BMW. I am only 5'6" and this bike seemed to work well for me. I live just south of Bo...
