BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

I have been doing biz with Chicago BMW for over 25 years although I have not been up there in a couple of months. They are one of the bigger retailers in the country owned by the same folks who have the HD franchise>>> I do not believe they are going out of business. The parts guys are nice enough b...

I installed a GS sump guard years ago and I do not regret it.
If nothing else it has protected against curb damage...

How about the O2 sensor?

That actually sounds like something worth trying
Will report back

the bar is dingle, not too far to one side or the other.
bike tracks straight and true, just not where it is pointed

i came into a set of new forks at a price i could not pass
after i put everything back together my bar is not centered.
forks are the same height so i am at a loss

Be careful on the ones that bring the bars "back" and not just up.
It will change your steering enough to make a difference as the bars will no longer be in a line up from the forks..
caveat emptor~

i ride my 02 pretty hard and usually average in the low 30's.
i think it is more a function of how strong your right hand is....

x-11's are outstanding and have dropped $200 in price....

I have an 02 with a K/tech modulator and it was a push on install and I had no problems putting it in or through the subsequent years....

my experience with the risers is that you only want to go up. not back
throws off the perceived steering angle if not the real thing.

When my 02 blew the slave and fouled the disc, the estimate from the BMW dealer was $1600+. I found a competent independent shop to do the work for around $1100. My spline was fine and other mentioned potential problems were absent.

You do not need to wire it to the headlight.
Any circuit that is live when the key is on will work.
I used the rear brake light hot side as it was very convenient.
I mounted the switch on the right side removable panel just below the oil cooler.

I have about 8000 miles on my front worksperformance. Kept the stocker on the back.
Far superior in every way...

I put an aftermarket s/s line on the front of my 02 and do not regret it for one stopping second....

I have been running the 3922's and they have been better than any others I have tried.
Unfortunately I do not recall how I gapped em............

oem bmw bolt on which i believe is off a GS
got it so long ago i can't remember
2 parts of stamped steel with breakaway bolts
looks like it is supposed to be there and flows in perfectly with the longer fender off the LT~

So my 02 roadster's slave cylinder was the culprit. It then caused the master to fail as well as totally fouling the clutch disk. I rebuilt the master myself with the kit but took the bike into a shop for the real work. $1100 later I am back on the road. I was fortunate to find a shop to do the work...

Got my rebulid parts today and damn if I can figure out how to get the f'kn c-clip installed...
Anybody done it???

I tore the master apart and I do believe it had problems as it was barely pushing anything. I ordered the parts today so hopefully in a week or so I can put it back together and see if that was the whole problem or merely the easy portion. Doing a clutch goes beyond PITA status, and even replacing t...
