Hi all, I'm an avid k-bike guy, looking to get into an oilhead on the cheap. There are oodles of california patrol r1150rtp bikes on eBay with 50xxx miles on them. Are these on their last legs, or a great way for me to pick up a reliable 1-up tourer? Is it not so simple? I'd like to own an oilhead to see the other side of bmws. Is there a better, cheaper way to do it? As always, thank you MOA ...

Hi all, The dreaded "input shaft" failure occurred on my bike last weekend. DEEP SIGH... I was out with two other riders, enjoying a wonderful late morning on California's Highway 25 south of Hollister. I passed the turnoff to The Pinnacles State Park a couple of miles back and I'm in a nice right-hander when I begin to accelerate. LOUD (UGLY) NOISE and my bike loses power to the ...

I have a 2000rt. The single sound horn is low volumn and flat. I hate to use it. It sounds like a kids horn. Has anyone replaced their horn with a dual sound that is louder? What does the lt sound like?

Does anyone have experience with installing Tobinators on a GS. The directions are in German and the pictures are not enough. Does the stock screen actually have to be trimmed for these to work? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

I walked into BMW of Denver this morning thinking about a used R1200RT they had advertised and I noticed perfectly mantained 1999 Black R1100RT. It has full service records and the spline lube was completed at 42000 miles. It currently has 49,000 miles on the clock. I looked under the seats (perfectly clean), it has a full BMW toolkit and tire patch kit, PIAA lights under the oil cooler, ...

Has anyone experienced a problem with their synergy heated jacket. Mine failed and after contacting motorcycle super store a replacement controller was sent to me. When I plugged the jacket with the new controller an indicating light flached momentarily causing two situations. The clock went to zero and the jacket failed to function. The jacket connection was verified to be 12v. Puzzled. ...

Help R1150R owners.... Got my '04 Naked, and with a left and right Case Holders, OEM # 4663 2 329 649, and -329 650, left and right sides. These are the standard set up for Saddle Bags, or System Cases, as you all would know. OK, so, Ben at Max's BMW set me up with some gorgeous System Cases, that I just received in the mail.

Recently, while at a local coffee shop, a fellow rider brought in the current issue of Motorcycle Consumers News (?) or Guide. There was a article talking about the issue of BMW final drive failures. I found it to be a very interesting article, and few covering the topic and having a place to log your own failure into a database. The piece even mentioned that BMWMOA chose to not be an advocate...

I’ve been having thoughts of replacing my K75S with a R1150GS. I love the smoothness of the K but think that the GS will allow me to travel roads that are not comfortable to travel on with the K. I know some of you have/had both so I’d like to hear the opinions as to what I’d give up and what I’d gain by making the switch. Having both is not an economically feasible option as I’d have to sell the...

Haven't had my 96 R 1100 GS for long but the ABS lights (two) flash in an alternating fashion (back and forth). Been told it's probably a low battery but have taken it out for a 100 mile ride and there was no change. Battery is supposed to be only 1 year old. Any advice? My BMW dealership is 60 miles away and I don't want to spend unnecessary money if it's something simple. Thanks for any ...

Can anyone tell me which final drive units are the same as my 2003 R1150R ? I am thinking it would be logical to carry a used one with me in Mexico rather than the parts, i.e.,brg and seal etc.. Thanks in advance! I'll add-Is it a problem to use an ABS FD on my non ABS bike?

An earlier post talked about getting a bike off the centerstand. My problem is getting the bike on the centerstand. I weigh 140 lbs (I lift weights and am in good condition) but I can't get the bike on the centerstand no matter how hard I pull, tug, lift..... I folllow instructions by standing next to bike, place my left hand on the left grip ( straighten out bike), push down on the centerstand ...

Today I drove 160 miles from Medina, Ohio to Detroit to "seal the deal" on the purchase of a 2004 R1150R. About to test drive and I couldn't get into 1st gear from neutral after repeated attempts. So I put it into 2nd gear, did not drive off, but then went to neutral and then it did engage 1st gear. So I test drove in a very large parking lot and went through the gears several times, did some ...

I recently looked inside my fuel tank ( The bike is new 2008 R1200R) and saw 4 electric wires about 3-4 inches from the top of the tank filler hole. The wires are sitting on what appears to be a plastic open duct. The color of the wires are Black, Red,Brow and Green ( or Blue?). The wires are exposed to the fuel inside the tank. I assume they are wires to the fuel level sensor(?). Anyway, even ...

If you change your own tires with steel tire irons, you probably have purchased the rim savers to keep from marring your rims or just not worried about the marring. I've tried the Rim Savers commonly sold by several sources and leather strips with no success. A good friend recommended simply cutting a water or coke bottle into strips and using these for rim savers. I changed a tire today ...
