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

UPDATE: The original owner of the bike tracked me down on advrider.com and sent me his full service history spreadsheet!

I did decide to purchase. Took 6 weeks for the dealer to get the new rotors!
No corrosion found as mentioned above. This bike is a hoot and a huge improvement over my R1150R that I traded in.

Dealer ordered new rotors, coming from Germany... someday.
They said 10 days. When they call me saying it's done I'll go ride it again and look into the things mentioned here.

Thanks for thr heads up on that.

Thanks! I'll check that out.

Any input on the wheels? I'm assuming these were painted. 07's were silver, right?

Went and looked at / rode the bike. It has bar backs / risers on it and the throttle cable goes 'under' the bar back. I will probably take these off. Front rotors were shot, dealer is going to replace those. Otherwise the bike checked out! Can't wait to pick it up once they get the rotors swapped out.

Aside from the typical things to look at, anything that I need to specifically look at or ask about? I know there are some recall items (wheel flange / fuel strip?) Maintenance history will be important. Also, looking at the pictures of the bike this jumped out on me: https://photos.smugmug.com/phot...

So a quick update and the final solution. Pulling the fuse didn't stop the grips from getting hot. How is this possible you ask? Well that was my question to so I headed back to the dealer. They were nice enough to give me a loaner while they sorted it out. They initially thought switch and replaced...

I recently acquired a 2002 R1150R, 29K miles in seemingly good condition. One thing I noticed right away is that the heated grips seem to always be on. I didn't get an owners manual with the bike but if I recall correctly, flipping the switch "down" to show one dot would be low, down anoth...
