Amen to that ,Sunbeemer !
I had the same experience for months. Glad and thankful to see these pages again .

Phil I fear you're correct. Not much goes on here anymore. Plus the 1150 is long in the tooth now. I'll try posting this on ADV as well. I don't have many contacts beyond the bikersdozen group. Please circulate this to any you know. We've got a year so there's time. Wayne It may be true, there isn'...

I've looked off and on for years. Looking for pn 71 60 7 658 542 rear seat replacement plate , a used one.

"Remove the outer strainer mesh from the base of the pump: To do with this without breaking anything, I used gently applied leverage to the plastic fitting with a small flat-bladed screwdriver and eventually it popped off. There is a metal c-clip type arrangement that tightens around a pin tha...

This is fantastic! Thank you, Doug.

Great news,Riceburner.
At 14 degrees Fahrenheit, I'm not riding! I clean it off out in my garage

I understand the bandwidth /server dilemma . I've been using a bookmark since forever.
I'm curious to ask- what are the stats for using up the allotment if only registered members can have access?

Wish you the best with your move !

Braided stainless brake/clutch lines next spring.

Glad to hear you are doing well - must be- the antifreeze jokes are back!

My apologies to all for such a long length of time passing. " Put the bike on the center stand, then pass a tie-down through the front wheel against the rim ID and connect each end hook to the center stand cross brace, effectively stopping the center stand from folding rearward after it is tigh...

I thought so and thank you so much.

Thanks so much,CycleRob. I've read many of your posts( the most informative and detailed in this forum) and will try your methodology when I get a warm-up day.Too cold here in the Midwest to ride or fix just now,and have a family member with health issues right now.. I haven't pulled the starter to ...

Swamper . . ."Jacket" ? ?

Thanks everyone. I'll get back .

AZBMWRider, no the fluid level doesn't go down when I operate the lever. There isn't any pressure build up or leaking on the floor either. I'm waiting for a November warm up here in the midwest before I take anything else apart - otherwise I may have to wait 'til spring>I have an unheated garage.

DG Decker , bleeding the clutch lines wasn't an issue, that went fine .

Thanks Riceburner and Boxer. =D> My clutch master wasn't empty or even below the sight window when I found the problem so it may be the leaking slave hasn't let too much fluid go into the clutch or the cavity.I can pull the pushrod out and see if it's wet but I'm going to pull off the starter first...

Yesterday after washing my '02 off I thought I would take a ride because I hadn't for months during this Covid pandemic. It started fine, I rolled it off the center stand,and clicked into first gear.It died. The problem is I have NO fluid pressure in the clutch master cylinder- so pulling the clutch...

Fantastic looking.
I have admired your previous R with it's customizations ,especially trimming the rear /seat subframe into a unique look.Kudos and a toast *clink* to you for following your passion.
