Such an item has yet to be discovered.

The common advice is to combine info from R1150R service fiche with Haynes and SLP (if you're digging deep into electrical), and use your powers of deduction to figure out the Rockster's parts bin components, e.g. R1100S instruments and GS-esque headlight.

OK, thanks. That's what a thought.
Anyone have success with finding a workshop CD?

I've had my rock since new ('04) and used a clymer manual and the BMW sourced CD (ugh). Also the parts fiche like A&S BMW.
Been into it pretty deep and have made out fine..but your sort of on your own with weird stuff and the forum is the best source for pesky things.

Have fun.

Just my opinion but I have the CD of that manual and I have found the clymer manual much better with more and better pictures and information.

I have not used the Haynes so have no idea what its like.


The Beemer manual is fustrating to say the least. (understatement).
