Do you still have your cases? If so, I'd like to have them. Thanks.

Re: Starter/Solenoid/Relay assessment

I ride a 2004 1150R with just over 10K miles. I had the identical problem last spring while on a solo ride 275 miles from home and 9K on my odometer. My symptoms included one or two good cranks and, if no start, the solenoid click. I immediately assumed that it was a dead battery. Jump starting work...

Re: Anyone ever have the starter/Bendix give out?

I have a 2004 1150 R with 8700 miles. I was on a road trip about two weeks ago when I started having what I thought were symptoms of a bad battery. The starter would click continuously when I hit the starter switch. Had to push start the bike several times to get going (not too hard on the Blue Ridg...

Frozennorth-
I haven't received my shirts and stickers yet. It's been 9 days since you said all the orders have been shipped. Is it too soon to bug you?

Really Dumb Move

I pulled a really dumb move last week and thought I'd report on it to you all so you don't make the same mistake. I live in the Middle Atlantic and had parked my 2004 R1150R in my driveway as I endured a spate of rain and a head cold which ruined several weekend in a row. I was finally healthy 2 wee...

Re: Brake pedal height adjustment?

I really need advice on this as well. I lowered the pegs and ended up with the brake lever higher than the peg. I have to lift my foot in order to use the brake. There's no such thing as a gentle brake on or brake off. As a consequence I use the hand lever exclusively. I fear that one of these days ...
