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

Hi all,

I'm just fine but my bike was totaled (though ride-able) . Thinking of replacing it with an '04 Rockster for sale in Big Bend, Wisconsin. Anyone nearby there willing to take a look at it for me?

Give me a shout if you can help.

I use a Laminar Lip with my OEM sport screen. It's Velcro'd on and I definitely notice a difference between on and off. As far as whether it'll actually lift the wind flow over you, I can't say. Depends how tall you are...but it does seems to raise the height of heavy windflow by several inches.

I got the Wunderlich ceramic clutch at about 25k miles (lots of days doing 80 miles threading bumper to bumper traffic). I'm at 48k now and have had no spline issues...or clutch issues. Bike's an '04. Wunderlich wasn't cheap, but it should last the life of the bike and it doesn't heat up like a regu...

I would say 10k is a bit above the average from what I recall of previous threads on this subject...of course it all depends on your riding style. Still, Ohio roads probably aren't the smoothest in the world so 10k really is not bad at all. My experience with the Metzler Z6 has been quite good, but ...

Hmmm. More likely the battery (unless it was still wet after the wash). Low voltage does funny things to the ABS and other systems. If it happens again after the bike's been sitting for more than a few days or a week, then it's almost definitely the battery.

You're probably correct. But I seem to recall a time I had when the ABS would not engage and neither would the servo. Surprised the hell out of me. Turned out my sensors were dirty. Only happened once though and that was 4 years and 40k miles ago.

+1 for Etymotics. Kind of late to weigh in but I've also tried many different ones and Etymotics keep coming out on top for comfort (small), sound quality and noise reduction. Either the E6i or the E4p or E4s (more expensive but better wiring). I have some fairly new Etymotic H5 headphones that I tr...

Hi Harvey, Sorry to hear about your ABS glitch. The '04 has partially integrated EVO brakes which are different from the '02, but not dramatically. The brake pedal activates rear only...the front brake lever applies full front and partial rear. It's also possible that a bit of dirt has mucked up you...

Thanks for clearing that up Iowabeakster.
I remembered that CycleRob had weighed in on this and that he'd mentioned some risk to the ecu, but couldn't remember which procedure he was recommending.

I had the same problem on mine and replaced my stick coils about 1 year ago. HUGE difference. I'm not sure pulling one off at a time while the engine is idling is such a good idea. Couldn't that damage a good stick coil or other electrical doodads? It would definitely be safer to turn the bike off, ...

Here's a pic of what your install should end up like. You're just threading the outer portion of the original hinge with the tap and laying the klamp on the hinge's outer surface , insert the screws thru the lid, the hinge and the klamp block. Easy! http://evolutioncycles.com/images/open%20bag.jpg

They're Here!!
I should be able to get them all out over the weekend.
Yay!

Good catch MattPie. I forgot about the left case size wrinkle. I did get the lowering kit for my full size left case, but wound up not needing it when I recently decided to run without my second muffler.

Hi there. Just got an email from Karl that he finally got all the parts and he is shipping to me today. He wanted me to pass along his apologies to everyone in the group for this taking so long. His suppliers kept messing up and he is quite embarrassed. Anyway, I should have the orders in a couple o...

Hmmm. Maybe the S stands for something else. I noted in another post today about kisan's running lights that I also run my bike with a hotter (80/110W) bulb, which is yellow, and using an Eastern Beaver light harness and PIAA 1100x driving lights which are constantly on, I just aim them a little low...

My '04 has cases on it that were on my '95 R850R. Practically any R-bike system case prior to 07 or 06 should work with the same sidebrackets.

I have the signal minder, 3-way hyperlights and the BMW version of the Brake! They all play nice together and are easy installs. Add to that a topcase with a brake and running light built in and I'm easily mistaken for an 18-wheeler from the rear :lol: Seriously though, the more light, the better. A...

You don;t say what year your R1150R is. The 115W is for 00-03 bikes. For 04 and later R1150R and Rockster, use the 115W-S, per the Kisantech Aplications sheet.... https://www.kisantech.com/brochures/App-Print-1.pdf I think "S" stands for "short" as in not too long for the headlig...
