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

The Rockster/R1100S front fender is not a direct swap with the R1150R. Different forks, different mounting points.

There was a thread on this a few years (?) ago.

There should be a thin crush washer pre-installed on the replacement oil pressure switch. If you use any sealant (and you should not need it because of the crush washer), use very little. Use something like Locktite 565. Sealant will affect the grounding path of the switch which will give you a fals...

Yikes. Well, my loss. I even want a K-R with your color scheme. Congrats on the new ride though!

In the event you do ever decide to sell said "turd", myself and I am sure countless others would be interested in it. I am in the Seattle area and I am interested.

I have been thinking about the Kieth Code 2-day school. ~$2Gs kinda sucks, but I would pay $2Gs to avoid a serious high speed crash or laydown, so I'm thinking it would be worth it.

I ended up buying a $2.97 5/8" Husky brand spark plug socket from Home Depot. Worked like a charm. Smaller OD than Craftsman. Purchased the Homedepot "Husky brand spark plug socket" although it has a smaller OD (13/16) than the craftsman (7/8) it will not work in my "02" De...

The Kobalt does not work...at least on my 04 TwinSpark. Neither does the Craftsman, or the ones AutoZone or AdvanceAuto sell. :x If anyone knows of a thin wall design that actually DOES fit in the cylinder...I'd love to hear abou tit..... Try the Husky one from Home Depot. Works on single sparks an...

What the hell does working on a BMW motorcycle motor have to do with aviation??? :lol: :wink: :lol: 8) :wink: :lol: :smt017 :smt075 The same thing working on a garbage disposal does.

I hear you. But I work in the aviation industry and I don't think I can do that. Must... have... torque wrench.

What brand of spark plug socket is everyone using for plug changes? My Craftsman 5/8" will not fit in the tunnel (single spark). Too big OD. Wrench in the toolkit can remove a socket but won't let you use a torque wrench for re-install. BMWRT.com site search talks about a Kobalt/Lowes socket wi...
