I don’t know if this will help but also look at the throttle cables, on mine the right side jumped out off the little cup and was resting on the edge. The bike did not want to start and when it did, I had to keep it at high revs. I only noticed it after a long ride with a lot of swearing.

Pickedup a 2nd hand Two Bros plus Y-pipe like new for R1500-oo ($140), what a sound :D . We had a dyno day yesterday with our club. I don't like to put my bike on a dyno but seeing that there were a few BM's I gave in. The figures in brackets BMW specs: 93.5 hp (83.8), 116N (98) top speed 207km/h. I...

Hi everybody, finally dome pic’s of my baby. When I saw it on dealer’s floor I knew this was my bike. Nobody can complain that they didn’t see me. :twisted: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj61/kleynhh/Rockster/th_IMG_0050.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj61/kleynhh/R...

Cone, I stay in Gauteng close to Jo'burg and don't have any problems so far even with the can removed with only a stubby and cat. I will post some pics of my Rockster later. It's steel grey with orange rims and stripes .

Hydra, what is that bracket on the righthand side of the Rockster's handlebar?

Thanks everyone, took a bit of finger work and the right tool… . Mirror is now tight

The r/h mirror is not tight, can anybody tell me how to tighten the mirror without taking the controls appart.

This a problem around the world. What I found is that the longer you can keep your beemer the less you will loose. My bikes: BMW R100RS '81 sold 91 for double its price in 81 with 36k km BMW R1200C '99 sold in 03 lost for 20% 28k km BMW R1100GS '94 sold in 07 same price as in 94 with 130k km BMW R11...

Cammy, what screen is that?

Ves, yes both. The distance between towns that we go on runs for a morning are 200-300km with good roads. The sun is shinning most of the time with rain now and then. We don't have very cold winters only 3-4 months a year with coldest temp. -3 t0 -5 otherwise mid teens, no snow on the roads.

Hi All,
I'm also a new member on this forum. I'm from South Africa the bikers paradise, here we ride most of the year. The rockster is my 4th BMW, started with the R100RS,R1200C,R1100GS(129000km's) and being replaced by a 2004 Rockster. Will post pictures when I know how to.

Hi guys, I,m new on this site and from South Africa. The Rockster is my 4th BMW and I must say I like what I see on this site. Riceburner, I think you idea with the visors are great seeing that when we buy aftermarket thing in SA it cost a pretty penny. Can you post pictures of the brackets you use?
