Good News i got my baby back and everthing seems ok so far, motor feels good, no rattle, sounds better than when i bought it and other than some rerouted wires that i took care of, i believe they did a decent job . And there was no visible wear on the splines or clutch, just checking.Taking it tomor...

Trickytree, you understand. It might not be financially sound but it's good for my soul. I'd hate to part with such a good looking bike and in a few years it may be considered a classic. And if it reaches 20 I get one of them antique plates in Florida. And if the fix is good I may ride another 14 ye...

So I took the bike to the shop and indeed it was the chain rail and cam chain failure, I was presented with a list of parts totaling 500 plus and a 3500 quote for everything, was told it was the cleanest bike he's seen, so I went for it and looking at a two week completion date from today.wish me lu...

When I installed the new one, the cilinder on the tensioner didn't fall thru, so I'm assuming the chain rail guide is still there.

Any takers?

So what would be an acceptable price it's got cases I have the y pipe the original cat 9 month old tires and a brand new battery other than the motor and some dark exhaust pipes it looks showroom.

After 14 years and 75,00 miles my black 2003 r1150r is broken and I'm afraid to even ask what it could be, engine sounds like someone is beating it with a hammer from the inside. Hopeing it was the cam chain tensioner I ordered one to do the exchange, imagine my surprise when I pulled the old one ou...

Also the original ones are from Textra the new ones are Brembo or EBC

mike i have done that because i have changed them before without a hitch, the issue is that they are not the same pads, the ones i get now are twice the thickness, if you haven't changed yours lately you might encounter this when you buy them now, what i had to do is install an old one together with...

Does anyone else has this problem? i have a 2003 r1150r non abs and the last two times i been to BMW they give me pads that don't fit my bike, i'm talking the rear pads, they seem to be the correct fit, but are twice as thick as the pads i used to get before, therefore the don't leave room enough fo...

Bmw News:

Has anyone applied heat wrap to the roadster exhaust ?, id like to know if it is detrimental to the cooling of the engine. im tired of looking at the bluepitted pipes. Thought it may be a good look for it.

I ordered the small size and they fit perfect, they might look long before you put them on, but don't cut them. They will asume the shape of your grips, dip em in soapy water and slide them in, once dry they will lock in place. The only regret i have is not ordering them when i bought the bike. They...

My oem grips were getting pretty worn so i ordered a pair of grip puppies from california sports touring, fantastic little things, they look great and improved my death grip 100%.
The best 10 bucks i've ever spent.

" my idea of help from above, is a sniper on the roof "

Griffins or kiwi black liquid shoe polish works like a charm and look shiny and new every time.
If it works for your scuffed up shoes, you do polish your shoes

Just Did Mine yesterday! What a difference, everything like you say is better
Got mine for free from a friend, kept the original can, and swaping the parts was a breeze.
Im glad i did it everyone should.
