37,000 on a 04. my most costly problem so far is TIRES ! Knock on wood and ride.

same here. I only put it in neturel if I know I'm going to be sit n their for a while. Just my repley cause you said not many miles on the Beem for you. And the smell ?

OK I have and sure others have had the problem with finding 1st gear if you start off in neutral. Half ingage the clutch. I've been teaching my daughter that on her TW200 Yamaha. The upshifting thing happens to me here and there and I just crank the R's up and try again. 35,300 miles and no problems...

Dont know what to say besides things do fail. They are machines. I have 35,000 on my 04 and no problems. Knock on wood !!! Just got back from the ralley (6,061miles 2 up and overloaded and no problems besides the AZ state patrol ) and talk to at least 20 R1150R owners with 50,000 + miles with nothin...

If it is the same as I have it is called a - Brake LED ! made by Gizmo mill. It is located (installed) in your tail light. No mercury switch just some kind of LED light with a computer chip. Are you sure your not touching the front or rear brake lever while driving and not realizing it ? ( I'll bet ...

I have a silver (gas tank ,side panels, jugs) 04 with the blacked out engine and telelever as in the pic that is posted. It is not a custom job although some people have asked me if it was. I bought mine new off the floor. And have seen a few others at the national rally but not many. No one that I ...

I have the sparky pegs and love them. I'm 5'8 with a 30'' inseam. The thing is you dont ride with both feet on them at the same time. I put one foot up at a time on long trips. Its just giving you another postion to move your legs while doing a long haul. And for me it helps if your looking at only ...

Just saw the Milwaukee news. H D is closing Buell. Never owned one but feel bad for all the people who work there. Was just last year they had the 25th party at Road America, Elkhart Lake. I was there and was fun to see and be around. And even thought maybe, and I mean maybe look into owning one in ...

Talk to the guy that was selling them at the MOA Rally. Said they wont fit but was hoping by next year to have some made that would fit the R and the RT. Try the spring and let us know if that works.

Money sent , thanks

Now that your snip'n wires it might be a good time to upgrade the horn. Just replaced mine last week with the Stebel Magnum, and what an improvment over the stock. LOUD real LOUD. Fits in place perfect. Just mount with the opening of the horn towards the shock. Angeled down. That way it will keep th...

Had the same problem on my04. It was the bolt behind the clock that was snaped off but didnt fall out. tried to tightin it and it was lose and just spun. Put duct tape over it to make sure It didnt fall out. Took it to the dealer under warrenty but had to order it. Really dont know what the bolt hel...

Reflective would be great. Maybe change bottom of logo to- R1150R.NET- ??? Just a thought that not all R1150R owners know of this site. Spread the word ? But I'm in anyway for 3-5.
