R1150r not accelerating when clutch is engaged

When getting into first gear and every gear after when just starting up I have to ride the bike for about a mile before the problem goes away. When the bike first starts I have hold the choke up but then after a minute I need to get on the throttle even with the choke all the way up. Then when I sta...

Re: 2004 R1150R Clutch replacement in NY

They are not will to even partially pay for any of the clutch replacement. The bike has 18k and there were no visible signs that the clutch was bad. I am going to wait until the bike is fixed and the total cost is in my hand before I go back to the dealer and see how they want to proceed.

The clutch plate costs 350 and that can usually be re-used and the other parts get replaced. They are estimating 7 t...

Re: 2004 R1150R Clutch replacement in NY

So far I have got 1 quote from BMW NYC and for the clutch replacement they are quoting 2600 because of the labor they told me that price. For 600 to 800 it would be worth it to ride to DC.

Has anyone had to have a clutch replaced on the R1150R in the NY tri state area? I need to get this done on my bike and any recommendations would be helpful. I would like to know what people have paid for the clutch replacement and where they had it done.

Its just when I get into first the clutch lever i...

Clutch lets out far

I just bought a 2004 R1150r with 17500 miles on it and it seems like the clutch might be bad. When I engage first gear the clutch has to be let out almost to the end. But it does catch and every other gear seems to work fine. I don't feel anything slip but I took the bike to BMW for the Oil problem ...
