After some minor mods over the weekend and a 20min ride this morning, just wanna say that "what a great bike the 1150r is"

ok that's it. ride safe and enjoy your rr

similar thing happened to me after i dropped my bike. i went to a bmw mechanic - not a dealer - who was able to reset the abs somehow. he charged me very little, and it took a very short time. what worries me is what if that happens on a long trip, far from any dealers, etc. do you have a gs? i rea...

After parking front wheel on grass earlier today, my brake failure light started flashing. Definitely 4hz. this is a 02 r1150r abs Did some google searches. Then I removed, inspected and reinserted all the relays and fuses just to make sure there's no electrical issue, plus that's as much as I can d...

this is a timeless post

recently changed my fuel pump plate and used this guide to make sure the vent lines were connected correctly

Hi, I've read that krs mirrors fit directly on our beloved rr. but no used pair for sale right now. do u guys think this set from ebay will fit without modding my rr? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Black-Golf-Motorcycle-MIrrors-Pair-BMW-R1150R-Rockster-R1150RS-100-LT-/200764369363?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_...

ok, bought one from dealer this morning. measured the size again and decided to try this part. btw the measurement is pretty accurate from the link in the first post: Viton O-Ring, 75A Durometer, Black size 348 Viton seems to make the o-ring for 2 hardness duro 75 and 90. I ordered the 75. I will co...

Sup guys my low-fuel light isn't working and am trying to diagnose the problem. having removed the fuel pump plate a couple times I realize I prolly need to acquire a few more o-rings for it since I would be taking the plate on and off dealers charge $8 plus tax for the o-ring. beemerboneyard sells ...

Hi guys,

anyone has hq pix or installation manual for the hb bars? I bought a used set last week and the holes are not lined up properly on my 2002 r1150r. not sure what's going on here. any help/tips appreciated

thx

i dropped my 1150r on the right a week ago, and the weird vibration after that too. the only thing scratched up is the valve guard, the bar end is not touched. the only thing I checked was the valve clearance, which is good. haven't done anything else yet. my battery works fine though. on a journey ...

another site for oil filter cross reference

I think there are 3 options, low, standard, and high.

remember reading somewhere else on the forum that the low seat is the factory option in the US

also read somewhere else that some folks just bought one of those gel cushions to prop up the seat height

not sure if it's the same one. but I just got this mra screen last week that mounts on the bmw speedster hardware http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/2136/246/ i am 5'6" and the mra is perfect for me when the deflector is at the 2nd position from the highest. i've tried these scree...

I ride hard too. but that raises another question. why would riding style affect how much oil it burns? i ride my vfr hard too and the oil level is always pretty constant.. this is a beemer feature? jut wondering

Boxer motors will burn oil the first 20+k of their lives, give or take a few k, depending on break in and usage.

It falls under the category of "they all do that".

i got 24k on my 02
