BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Hi all, yeah I'm glad I'm still here too. And yes I'm getting back on the horse, just not the one that threw me; it's dead. When the doctors clear me I will drag my 78 R100RS out of the shed and continue riding.
Stay upright, stay safe and ride on.

Cheers

Hi folks, it's been a long time since I last posted, though I have been checking in. Well my 2004 rockster is no more. I had a crash December last year and wrote her off. I sustained 12 fractured vertebrae, ruptured spinal cord, snapped ligaments broken ribs and a collapsed lung. Unbelievably, I am ...

thanks riceburner, I was in contact with Ikon Shocks who used to be Koni Shocks and the only shock they do for the R1150 is the RT shock. They said they could build a shock to the same specification as the Rockster if I sent the original to them. Just wondering if it would be worth sending front and...

hey people how are we all in the land of motorcycleing? got a question for those that know; is the rear shock on the rockster the same as the 1150rt, as in length and mounting points? would they have the same valveing and damping? if anybody knows this information could you pass it on, as it would b...

merry xmas and happy new year to all you rockster owners. hope the new year brings thousands of excellent km/miles. may they be trouble and accident free.

all the best

Hi Mick, how did you go? What condition was the rockster in? $9,900 is a price that can be knocked a bit me reckons but its low 33,600 might not let it get knocked down to much. Cant tell if it had pannier frames on from the photo. If you need some frames I think I still have a pair in the shed. the...

Hi MIXR, there are three non-ABS models on bikesales.com including the black/bronze one at the ACT dealer you might be looking at. Mine is an 04 model non-ABS new from the factory so they are out there in Oz. Good luck hunting one down budy.

Cut the cable ties from around the headstock, had a good look and the wiring seems to be ok. The outer sheaths aren't worn through and nothing seems perished. Hooked it all back up, took it to the dealer to rectify. Said dealer said "leave it with us and the head tech will look at it". I n...

Cable ties around headstock still in place (sucking in through teeth real quick now). There is some real funky wiring in there alright, along with a very naughty demon. Hooked every thing back up the way it came off. Left it for five minutes, no lights flickerd, no dash lights came on, put the key i...

rode the rockster to work last friday, parked it up and did eleven hour day. That nite went to start her up to go home and nothing, no dash lights no nothing. Bugger. Eight years and 101 thousand km and the battery finaly called it a day. got a new gel battery today, put it in ,hooked it up and hey ...

I will be putting another set of PR3' on my rockster when this set finally wear out. so far I have done 16,700 k's and I will get another 3000 k's easly. Trip across Australia and back home to Perth WA plus 300k commute and playing around on the weekends. Best tyre I have used in the wet, had some d...

sweet e 80 m7flyer, how long you had it? how many k's/miles? this is a great site, you can spend many hours here. enjoy riding the e 80.

gday billbm, good choice of bike. mate, I would fit a bar end cruze control and put a set of michelin pilot road 3' on. I put a set on at 83,000 and it's now got 98,400. a trip to the GP and back to Perth left only the smallest flat spot. Ditch the muffler but keep the cat so you can fit a full size...

hi tommo, you dont seem to be having much luck with the tyre rubbing problem. pop in to autoclassics and ask to speak to their head mechanic, he is a top bloke and would point you in the right direction. i live in mundaring tommo. on the 3/3rd a group of assorted bikes and blokes are going for a rid...

sorry ron, i meant the remus used to send my throttle hand numb not the cat. i think the extra weight of the cat deadend the vibes as it doesn't happen with the cat fitted.

hey atown154 i am willing to sell and ship to the usa. i paid $700 aussie dollars and would like $550 aussie dollars. don't know what the shipping would cost, but i will find out for you. i head of on a trip across australia on saturday the 8th for the motogp and wont be back until saturday the 22nd...

g'day atown154, i have just taken the remus y-pipe and muffler of my rockster and put the cat back on. i don't know if it will fit the 1150r, maybe someone out there can let you know but i will probably sell it. where do you hail from. i'm in western australia if that helps.

sorry garr2, i have a rockster 04 model. i don't remember the suspension being this soft and i have fiddled with it a bit but it's not right, i was hoping to get the base setttings to set me on the right path.

got my suspension back after having it revalved and regassed with a new rear spring and my question is does any body know what the base setting is. everything was returned on the softest settings with the preload completely wound out. getting the shocks rebiult cost $640 aussie dollars so im hoping ...

hey tommo how did you go with tyre rubbing problem? do you live in perth? not too many rockster owners over here. should catch up for a ride.
