I think the problems are related. What blew the fuse? It is not supposed to happen unless something is wrong. Very likely it is the same thing that's causing an intermittent connection to the tach. A break in those wires in the wiring harness loop that is physically traumatized when the steering is...

Thanks guys. I didn't have much time to look at it this evening but Ol' Jeffers post got me to thinking. I had checked the voltage with the blown fuse in place. I put a new fuse in and it read 12.5v off and 13.5v on high idle. That should rule out the alternator/voltage regulator and narrow it down ...

Thanks Rob. The zip ties were still on. Is there a typical spot to find the damage? After I replaced the fuse (4 amp, 1st one on the left) everything seemed normal except for the tach. I took it for a test ride and the same fuse blew again, neutral light stopped working and the charging light came o...

OK, a new 4 amp fuse fixed the charging and neutral light.

Any ideas on the tach?

I have an '03 r1150r (I think this has the same set up as the GS), single spark, no abs, 30K miles. It cranks over fast and starts right up. When I turn the key to the on position the battery light and the neutral light do not come on, both stay off when the bike first starts but when you rev the en...

I have a Corbin. It's hard as a rock. It is more comfortable than the stock seat but after a couple of hours it starts to cause some real pain. The passenger back rest is a nice feature. It's good for a day ride but for me it's not a long distance seat without some help like a sheepskin, bead, or an...

Yep, lesson learned. I bet it doesn't happen again.

Thanks everyone. Got the bolt out with a bolt remover. Sears had them on sale for $9.99 for a set. There is just enough of the bolt head sticking out to get a bite on. Tapped it on with a hammer and it turned right out. Worked great. The front tire was harder to put on than the rear. It was a little...

Thanks for the tips.
Yeah, the stripped bolt is a bit of an obstacle at this point. I want to wait and see if I can get a replacement at the shop tomorrow before I try to get it out. Plan on trying my luck with an ez out. Any other suggestions?

Perfect. Thanks!

Take the calipers off, remove the 4 lug nuts, whalla!! Done. Although I did have a bit of trouble getting the calipers back on the wheel, a bit of fanagaling and swearing, and it was back on :oops: Thanks Johnny. I got the rear wheel off, no problem. Took about a 1/2 hour to change the tire from st...

I don't have one.

Can anyone point me to some directions for removing the front wheel?
I just changed the rear tire but the front is giving me a problem.
thanks,

The one you are looking at seems to be on par with what is available here in eastern Pa. This place is typically the most reasonable dealer in the area.
You can check out their used inventory here.

Here is the original thread with pic's. I would have posted it yesterday but I was running a little late. Thanks for the idea Taosports!

Scott, I bought a white cutting board from Wal-mart. I made a template of the rack using some thin, stiff cardboard. It took a couple of re-sizings to get it right. I traced the template onto the board and cut it with a skill saw and a fine tooth blade and spray painted it black. It was pretty easy ...

Hello Scott

I'm looking to get in contact with the guy I was talking to at the Finger Lakes Rally who modified the tail rack of his R1150R with a black cutting board.

That would be me. How's it going?

Ryan

Thank you

Ryan

I have this one

But I'm pretty cheap. It's not fancy but it serves it purpose.

Thanks Bry,

Tapping into the headlight makes sense.

The switch should then go to the relay pin 86/85 and will allow you to control the lights...

I'm not sure what this means.
