HI Guys, thanks for your comments Well it was make my mind up time today. I was offered a Light Grey Metallic 2012 registration 3120 miles with the Dynamic packages for £ 9995 . I turned it down :cry: I don't want a black bike again so that ruled out the specials, and the blue is, well blue and not ...

One of the things I really like about the 1150 is the position of the oil coolers. :) I think it really adds to the aggressive style of the machine and when I am sat on her the tank just looks massive. :) I love it. Having a cooler right behind the front wheel is IMHO just a really bad idea. :-k Hig...

God… why did I not think of that one… don’t get tax or tyres… just get a new bike.. brilliant.

I did only go there to look, and you know that salesmen always tell the truth…

I was having a bimble today to get some feeler gauges to check the valves on my steed and called in at Allan Jefferies BMW in Bradford just for a look on my way home. I was looking at a new 1200R Camhead with the comfort pack, Sport Windshield, Luggage Grid with Pillion Grab Handle, panniers, low Se...

I ended up having a really great spin today. :) She was running a bit chocked up so armed with some new plugs, a nearly empty tank and some Wynn’s injector cleaner I decided to have a blast. We had a bimble through York to get her warmed up and to the other side of the city to look at a 1200R, and t...

Hi Airman I have just gone turned the ignition on. She passed all the tests fine and was flashing at 1Hz as normal. The only difference is she is now in my garage and not in a field Now I am even more confused. My normal procedure was start her up, then connect my Garmin, then connect my phone charg...

Hi Owldaddy Thanks for the reply I had the battery issues listed on this forum so replaced the original one with a Odyssey battery PC680. I have also just turned the ignition on. She passes all the tests fine and flashing at 1Hz as normal. Now I am confused. Will check again in the morning Thanks -B...

Hi Guys I hope you can help with this one. She is an 1150R 04 with ABS and servo assisted brakes. I have just returned early from my camping holiday due to residual braking issues. :-k It stated with the brake failure indicator light would start flashing faster than normal after the self diagnostic ...

Hi guys I am looking to buy a sat nav and am waiting for the new TomTom Rider Pro :D to be available, which should be sometime this month in the UK Details, apart from the marketing blurb, are sketchy at present, but I have got some info back from TomTom which you may want to be aware of : My questi...

Hi Guys I am intending buying a TomTom Rider v2 and fit it to my 1150 R 04 model. I have a bit of an issue though. I don’t really want to mount it towards the handlebar ends but would prefer to mount it in the middle using the standard bar mounts. Is this a good/bad idea and is it feasible and if so...

Bloody ell, there’s a procedure with pictures with it as well……. !!!!!!! :shock: I have checked 2 different versions of this procedure, and the Haynes manual only to have it pointed out to me that there is one with pictures on it as well. :o #-o The inlets on the head I was working on were just a we...

Didn't think of that one.
Will make if first job in the morning and let you know how it goes

Thanks for that

I have never added fluid and the level is where it was last year when it was serviced and the fluid was replaced. I have no problems changing gear at all, and am able to freewheel without any problems and can hold the clutch in, and in gear at junctions without trouble. It may just be me being paran...

Hi Guys I am looking for some advice please I have a 04 Twin spark 1150R with 27K on the clock and have had her for about 2 years and she is just fuggingfantastic :biggrin: I have always had to pump the clutch from cold about 3 times to get her to engage first, but yesterday I had to pump the clutch...

Hi Guys I just love this forum and have got a lot from it so I thought it was about time I gave something back. It’s time for a blood transfusion on my beloved 04 1150 R and as such I have been hunting for some oil. I wanted the Castrol ACT EVO GP 4T 20W-50 as recommended by BMW but 4 Litres is like...

Many thanks guys

I will have a look further at coloured plugs.

I love this board

Boxermania - no yellow plug inserted, but I did reset Motoronices, fuse 5 out for 30 seconds, ignition on then twist the grip at least 3 times all the way and release. You are correct as she sure now does that purrrrrr-ing bit very sweetly and she is smoother all through the rev range. :D I used the...
