Hi Guys: Have tank off ( fitting multi fuse block under seat) so have decided to replace fuel filter. '04-r1150r Have searched around for advise/tips on the filter replacement. Know I've see it but now can't seem to locate it. Have filter /large O- ring, but wondeing if new clamps are needed on hose...

My ABS brake light is blinking, all was fine until I washed the bike. On start up blinking light (the right side one ) failed to stop blinking even after riding for a distance. Checked the rear tail light and both elenents are on. Applying brake caused no change. Changed bulb, non BMW but same type,...

You will need to remove tank for battery post access. What I did was route wires to left side (rear tank-just below panel) and end wires with SAE connector. Most chargers come with SAE connectors & clips. This is just next to my heated vest plug. Tip: When tank is off, send back additional (heav...

CycleRob; Thanks for your encouragement and assistance to all. I combined the bleed with tire replacement, so I reattached the calipers to the bike before putting wheels back on. This really makes it easier all round to bleed. So much so, next time I'll remove wheels even if not changing out tires. ...

Like the homemade manometer idea.
But with a Twin Max I'm able to tape it to the tank and try under load/speed.
I stop make adjustment/s and test again.
However I'd say no more accurate that static test would be.

Well it went OK. Was apprehensive to start this job, but it went well. First I prepepared the detergent cap with drilled bolt, as per CycleRob's excellent advice. However tank off revealed I had banjo type fittings with 8mm Allen slot in top. Reluctant to drill through it, so what to do now. I had e...

Michael:
Thanks for that. Done it several times but like to follow instrs. Makes it
Quicker and faster.
hanks again, Alan

About to change out brake fluid. DOT 4 is specifiedied. However see reference in places as to NO SYN. Yet some instructions state Dot 4 but no mention of type. Also have misplaced my tank removal instructions, and cant seem to find them on web. Any help in locating site appreciated. Thanks Alan, r11...

Need source for angled valve stem or adapter..
Did hear there's a screw on angle adapter, screw it on, add air, screw it
off.
Adding air to front is a PITA with some air hoses.
any thoughts. Thanks

Round torque bolt result of earlier dealership work.
Have manual, aware of published torques.
Need torque value (or guesstimate) for bolt s joining the two caliper halves.
Thanks, Alan

Correction..rounded the torque bolts...Alan

Doing front wheel removal/tire change. One of the caliper bolts heads rounded and I was unable to remove caliper from fork tube. Resulted in being necessary to split caliper (no no per manual) to get bolt removed. Need correct torque value on bolts that hold two halves together. Thanks, Alan 2004 r1...

Thanks CycleRob: Fantastic Help.

Was checking my front wheel/tire (tyre) and noticed a noise originating from speedo cable. Can inner be removed and greased/oiled, or just WD40 or similar down cable?
Thanks, Alan

Reverse Trike - Drive wheel at rear.

Sited (Garden Grove, So-Cal) a BMW badged side by side tri. Looked like a production model.? Seemed based on 1100/1150 as paralever on right side.
Really looked sharp. Anyone know about this...
Enquiring mind needs to know.

Michael: Thanks for the link for fitting the external filter. Will leave this mod till out of warranty. Cant see pressure being a problem with filter/lines. If lines are rated to 50psi then actual pressure would be less than half that, safety factor etc. Mentioned also that if filter fails (splits) ...

Tank is off. Replaced Air Filter, connected Battery Tender charging line, removed and replaced all cable ties, (all to tight) While tank is off, want to replace fuel filter. Question. See from recent post that plate nuts easy to break off. Thinking of also replacing internal filter, but replacing sa...

If assessed rate is for 4 plus hrs, was mechanic just fast, or things not done ?. Oil was changed as ove...
