Re: What is nipple for?

I don't know why the wrench marks are there. The tips of the disconnects, the ones on the inside, were grunged up when I removed them by sliding a small screw driver up the hose and wedged it out. The QD was broken, and one piece was up inside the other end. So I replaced both with metal ones. The i...

Re: What is nipple for?

Personally - I'd name and shame the shop - that's a real piece of NON-attention to detail that I'd be very pissed off about if it happened to me. . Shop/Dealer = Moto Marin (formerly BMW of Marin), San Rafael, CA. They closed up a month ago. They were a very reputable shop. http://www.advrider.com/...

Re: What is nipple for?

Thanks loads. Perhaps I should put a tie around it.

Re: the quick disconnect, I had to insert a brass pipe, temporarily. Could this cause the idle to go up?

It is an extremely low mileage bike. Like new really.

What is nipple for?

After getting my 04 1150R out, and then having the cheapo fuel disconnects break, (I ordered the chrome ones), I came across this tube hanging down, and a nipple on the throttle body. The tubes were hanging on both sides, and these nipples look as if the tubes belong there, but the vehicle was at th...

Re: Looking at a 2004 R1150R and 1997 R850R

I owned a R1100R (same body as R 850), and now a R1150R. I like the R1150 much more.

Re: Fallert fairing

I have a new in box unpainted, unmounted Fallert fairing with the brackets, bolts and MRA windscreen. I had a friend in Germany get it for me back in '06. I think it is the nicest looking front fairing for the R1150R. I have decided to sell it. I like the setup on my bike now, and am afraid I won't ...

Does anyone know how to obtain a Fallert Fairing for the R1150R? I have visited their website and sent them an e-mail but to date have not heard from them. I think this fairing is perfectly styled for the RR. If anyone has ordered from them I would like to know how it is done and what is the cost? A...
