KBB here is $7605, i see them asking for $8k sometimes but that doesn't mean they are getting it. it's a buyer's market right now,the toys are the 1st to go. bring cash make a lowball offer. i paid a lot lees for mine from a honda dealer that took it in on trade. they deal with hondas and don't want...

my 04 rt now has 27k and seems to be using less and less. they say around 30k it stops,some go as far as 60k before it stops. hard cylinders and hard rings......

from what i read they fail because of not enough grease when built. i forced more grease into mine using the clutch rod to push it in.

yup ,used the blue loctite too and marked with marker like you. how did you find them teeny weenie needles on the paralever. i went with bushings. i did new bolts on the clutch and marked position with white paint. shift indicator and O2 sensor wire routing sucks, like your idea. did white paint on ...

lot cheaper than the local dealer and U.P.S. from NH to here in MA is next day.

just did mine on the rt after replacement. same as doing brakes. but you have to take out the hex head bolt and put in a 10mm bleeder nipple in it's place. there is a spring loaded check ball under that hex head that is held open once you screw a std bleeder nipple in there. suck your dot 4 fluid ou...

WOW !! when pre loaded properly these diffs go forever... i re-build trans for living and have for 35yrs. my understanding and others have told me the quality control at the factory sucks. these diiffs if not set up properly will fail. hard to make a call without seeing it. i'm leaning towards impro...

i like to support the local dealer but they are 45 minutes away with good traffic and charge top $$ for their stuff.
here is where my routine parts come from;

If your bike has ABS, the removal of the battery tray is more complicated... [/quote]

i have abs and just gave the battery tray a little "nudge" upward to clear the 2 studs between it and the trans...

no stand,just a strap between frt wheel and center stand. weight is on the frt wheel already and as you pull rear wheel,diff,swingarm,trans etc. even more weight goes frt. drain that tank,it's heavy unless you have some help. i used a small floor jack for remove/install of the trans. trans is light ...

just did mine. 04 r1150rt. used one of them cheap e-bay cd's. take your time,bag and label all bolts. tie the rear frame up and outta the way for plenty of room. find a couple of pics on the net to see what to take apart and leave hanging. bmw get's some where around 9 hrs . i'm not getting paid by ...

anybody try one ? http://www.brunos.us/ track record ? just installed one in my 04 r1150rt with 26k. my input splines were perfect,i just had to look... i like the idea of using the whole spline. found trans oil in frt of the clutch slave. the felt on the clutch rod did it's job of keeping it from t...

beautiful !!
but those drum brakes,little scarey trying to stop all them extra horses
looking at the drums reminds of my ol CB160 days

maybe a group buy will get em going !!!

ABS failure - Will happen eventually and will be costly ,if decide to keep common problem over in Europe, they remove it all and go conventional brakes, easily done. a little change in the brake plumbing and some brake switches. well documented on one of the European oilhead lists. here is some pos...

e-mailed them a few days ago with no answer...
just called em on the phone and got a "still in the testing stage" reply.
She told me once they are in production they will be "flying out the door"
got my fingers crossed, sure would make a nice winter project.

it is a shame because there is a hole in the market for both an oilhead and airhead "improved" clutch disc. maybe even k-bikes...

i really like this bike, not too big not too small, it fits me. i did the fuel quick dis-connects,wire ties up frt,synched the the throttle bodies,adjusted valves,gonna do brake fluid this winter. the rear end failing should have some warning so i can still make it home. now after reading the 10 pag...

same yr and model here and no whine. possible alt bearing ? does it change under electrical load,brakes applied,high beam ? i have not read anything here but in the automotive field an alt bearing going bad will give off the sound you describe. got a stethascope or even a long handled screwdriver ? ...
