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

CycleRob - I'm curious - you mentioned that there was a 2" difference on the manometer even after syncing with the TwinMax. Do you have a sense of what this means in terms of sensitivity measured in PSI or kPA differences? Iow, is it possible to equate a linear measurement on the manometer to a...

+1 on Beemer Boneyard - a valuable member of this community!

TW - that counts - don't put stuff where you can either run over it or have it fall off your truck as your drive off. BTW, I have a BMW R1150R spare shield if you are looking for one.... will let it go really really cheap. Oh, this was another regret for me - this shield buffeted me.

RnineT? FUGGGly.

I'm waiting for the wasser R1200R - you know it's coming..... that's my next bike.

In the meantime, I'll put miles on the 1150R.... which I still love.

It's always great to talk about all the great stuff we get for our bikes but it seems there's no thread on mods/farkles that didn't fare so well. Figured that by sharing our mistakes with other R1150R riders, we'd be able to reduce others' remorse. Here's mine: I purchased the Aerostich PDM60 thinki...

I'm coming up on year 4 on my PC680. I'll replace it this spring - don't want to be stranded like my buddy Kurt was in the Bonneville Salt Flats...

no problems here with my signal minder...... is possible to switch left and right to see if the problem follows wiring or stays with SM?

There's been some great postings as to what should be done with a newly acquired used R1150R - there's the usual suspicious parts that need replacement - fuel disconnects - if you can't find 'em, ping me.

80K is high but 3K is low....

Good hijack. Learn how to take off and re-install your own wheels. Better to do this for the first time in the comfort of your own shop/garage than on the road. If you ride a lot, you know that day will come. Better yet, use tools that you carry on your bike to the job. Next - go to bikebandit, http...

Welcome back! And rte 16 near hungry mother is worth the wait. great choice.

hoping those feet return well enough to flip gears. And holding onto the R1150R was worth it, right?

Wow - and post some audio on the new sound.... I'm breaking out in a sweat from these pics - head can't handle it....

Don't buy it necessarily when you replace the quick disconnects - but inspect the fuel lines when you replace the disconnects looking for radial splitting of the lines. If you order the fuel line, get it from beemerboneyard - they actually sell an entire kit. I replaced ALL of the fuel lines (inside...

Well, you had a 50/50 chance to get it right...... (thinking positively)....
Glad it worked out toaster.

Don't spend the $100 on the CDs. Become a lifer on this forum is a better investment. It'll more than pay off. I need to double down... also when you replace those cheap plastic fuel disconnects, keep these originals as it will help you siphon gas out of the tank when you need to take the tank to re...

SteveJJ - it's not the servo you need to worry about - it's the slave cylinder that's mounted just in front of the rear wheel. i'm not sure if the newer ones are any better but I know I have a new one and new clutch plates. new cylinder is about 350 bucks. new clutch and cylinder is about 1400 with ...

So I was going to do my front brakes but observed that the existing pads appear okay! I'm at almost 30K miles but after removing one set of pads, I noticed that they are a tad thicker than the FA294HH pads that I was going to install. The other caliber had the same measurements. So I left the origin...

Toaster - you need to get these vent lines correct otherwise you will TRASH your charcoal cannister and possibly get charcoal bits into your fuel injector. How do I know? Because I bought my R1150R and the dealer who did the work for the original owner reversed these lines. Carefully going over the ...

What about a new Sargent seat?

Great choice. I too bought a 2003 R1150R with < 1500 miles on it 2 years ago. I now have almost 30,000 miles on it and loved every mile of it. I've ridden the R1200R and it's wonderful but there's something visceral about the R1150R. Now there are going to be a lot of things that you'll want to do a...

Just did my rear brakes with EBC FA363 Organic. Like DuckDave, I really like the new feel but it's still early - about 60 miles into it. Let's see how the wear goes but I did follow IBMWR's recommendation to anti-seize lube the pin. Also, many thanks to CycleRob for advice on cleaning the pistons. I...
