I've been quoted £47 for new rear pads for my 02 r1150r. According to the guy at local BMW shop, these are special sintered pads for this bike hence the price. However I can get pads from well known BMW parts suppliers on line for less than half. Do I really need the sintered pads or am I being r...

Can the FD boot be replaced without removing the FD. How difficult is it to remove the FD?

I've just bought an 02 r1150r with single spark. I'm used to riding ultra smooth Jap fours. I thought the roughness at 2000-3000rpm was my imagination unitl I read some of the threads here.
Someone suggested disconnecting the 02 sensor what ever that is.
Any help anyone?

Now that we know what this is - how do we fix it?
