I had something similar happen, but it was also accompanied by surging like behavior in second gear at 2500 to 3000 RPMs. The problem a blown ignition coil on the right side. The bike was smooth as ever after that was replaced -- no stalling or surge symptoms. SJ BMW did a nice job with tracing down...

Take some carb cleaner and spray it up into the recess of the oil filter housing (the filter remains in place) to remove any residual oil. Repeat this a couple of times to ensure you have removed any lingering oil. Take the bike for a ride and see if it leaks. If it does, then there may be somethin...

Minor oil leak after oil change
Changed oil (and filter) on my '04 RR the other day. At the end of the test ride I noticed a drop of oil hanging at the bottom of the oil filter. At the time I thought that was just residual stuff that got squeezed out as I put the oil filter on. However, I do notice a fresh drop of oil hanging at t...

I recently completed a coat-to-coast ride (Massachusetts to California) on my '04 1150r. It was about 3500 miles in all. I have to say that the RR is a fantastic touring bike. I'm sure you will say the same at the end of your ride. The only thing I would do differently is to invest in a good afterma...
