My bike has 36,500 miles on it. I've owned it for the last 2K. Can I switch to synthetic oil? Is it better or even matter?

If I take out the Dobeck TFI but leave the Leo Vince muffler on, does that change the leanness or richness I've read about? I believe the O2 sensor was removed with the Dobeck installation. I'm wondering how big a deal is it to restore all that to stock.

I'm new to BMW bikes but I get about 33mpg on my 04 r1150. It came with a Leo Vince SBK slip on and a Dobeck TFI electronic jet module. The Dobeck disables the O2 sensor to work as an "open loop". Who knows if I'm getting greater performance but could it cause such an mpg drop?

I've had the same problem with my new-to-me 04 with the screen like the one in the photo above from Roy1150r. I installed the Wunderlich deflector to the top and it works beautifully.

Does anyone have the Dobeck TFI installed?

Hi all,
I'm new here. I just bought a 2004 R1150R with 34,000. I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who wants to swap my low seat for their high seat. I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam.

Does anyone have a source for an owners manual? There is one site that others have referred to that has many manuals available. That site requires me to download a package of unnecessary apps that my anti-virus/malware software blocks.
