Thanks Arbrea.... yeah, my BMW guy said the same thing...that sometimes the ties are tied too tight at the factory... I haven't checked it, but he has... no avail.

My 2004 r1150r may, or may not, have a Hall sensor issue. I've brought it into my trusty repair guy (not a BMW dealer, but pretty much only works on BMWs), and he's stumped. I have the typical symptoms... sometimes it just starts right up, the rpms sometimes go all wonky, and other times it runs jus...

Here's a somewhat bizarre question... yesterdray, had my wheels off to replace the tires (new Metzler Z6's)... I thought everything went smooth with reinstalling the tires and when I start up the bike, the ABS seems to be in order....no lights.. cool right? Well, I think so...but turned her off and ...

Hey..thanks you all for the suggestions... it was a pretty simple change, though getting the brake calipers off was beetch...but all is well, and when I turn on the machine the ABS all seems to check out fine...so I don't think I dorked or screwed anything up.... I must add I called my three local d...

Yeah...thanks for the tips...much appreciated.... all good methods and I was thinking the same thing about securing the stand...it's been a concern, but to know others have done it....I'm feeling the comfort...

Just installed my Moto-Techniques risers...and I love them... I have long arms anyway, and I wasn't sure I would like them...or could get use to them.. one week of riding with them, I love them..... my wrists don't ache!!

Okay... I"ve scared the be-jezuz outta' myself a few times ....I live up a beautiful Colorado canyon and while the twisties are a treat each day, the deer...and in a month...the elk at night, not to mention all manner of fox, skunk, and raccoon that cross my path at night... I hope to get an el...

Okay...my paranoia (or maybe it's because I feel the love) is getting the best of me, and I've decided that I ought protect my ride...my sweet little R1150R...like one of my children... So, any suggestions on a quality alarm system....perhaps one that will lock the ignition/motion detection...I"...
