That's neat, thanks. Do you have a similar sheet for maintenance intervals? For airheads, we had minor and major service intervals. Are there similar ones for R1150Rs?

Good and useful information. However I didn't see any information on checking the antifreeze in the R's radiators.

....there is a check valve under the gas tank in front of the battery but behind the fuel injection computer. Only way to get to it is to pull the tank off the bike...

Are you by chance an attorney?

Just saw that the engine oil recommended is 4 quarts. Isn't that too much? I can recall reading that it shouldbe 3.7 quarts with oil filter and 3.5 without. Anyone has the low-down on this?

Cheers

My maintenance manual (BMW) says "without filter-3.7qts (3.50 litre) with filter--4.0 qts (3.75 litre)

I put 4 qts in it and ride.
