Guys thanks for all the replies, I have upgraded the cam tensioner to the piston model with the smaller 15mm nut and no spring. But this seems to make no difference. Maybe someone could explain why when I ride the bike with the fast idle switch up its fine, no noise, to me how it should be? Will rid...

Hi sorry the year is 2003 and its done nearly 10,000 miles. I have adjusted the valves last week, I have no idea what you mean about the rocker arm clearance and how to adjust that or the throttle body and how to check for movement there either. Any instructions or guidance would be greatly apprecia...

This is where I am at, I have this rattle on the left head thats driving me nuts! When I start up nothing, ride for about 5 mins and it starts to rattle, when I say rattle its like a tinny sort of tapping noise. I can play with the throttle a bit when riding and lose the noise but when I accelerate ...

Thanks guys, I like the remark "you know when its ready when the knocking stops"

Hi, can someone put me right and the reasons why? In my manual it says to ride the bike immediately after start up and not to warm it up first? Is this correct? I thought it would better to get the oil round before putting it under load???

Hi, Its done 9500 miles, I have no idea when the last valve adjustment was done (if ever) and I am using 20/50 Duckhams oil. Is valve adjustment easy to do?

Thanks

Hi all, I have a 2003 R1150R and when the engine gets to running temp it rattles on the left hand side, quite loudly. I have upgraded the cam tensioner, changed oil and filter but still it rattles. The noise reminds me of tappets on an old car engine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Nige

Hi, when I start my bike in the mornings I get the red ABS light come on. On tick over it stays on but as soon as I twist the throttle a little it goes out and stays out? Does anyone know if this is normal or do I have a problem? (Yeah I know I have a problem) but does the bike?

Thanks

Thanks for the advice, I will have a look round for the instructions and see if it is within my capabilities.

Hi, I am new to this but wanted to ask a question. I have just bought a 2003 Silver R1150R 9000 miles on the clock. The bike rides like a dream but I am a little concerned about the left hand head, I think thats what you call it, the bit that sticks out with the oil filler cap in it? Once the engine...
