I had similar troubles on a trip to Canadian East Coast,ran into rain and bike would not run. Thought Hall Sensor, found garage, finally tech jumped right in and found the problem.....wires for side stand had rubbed together enough behind a clip to bare them. Add the rain, instant short, and no fuel...

The design looks good, it is pretty hard to beat homemade quality. I would like to look at a few safety items... fill in the bed of the wagon, you will scrape an ankle on the way down,oh baby it hurts, yup done it!, add many places to tie down items. I use "D" rings at all 4 corners, and ...

I bought an 02 1150RT used, in the "box o stuff" that came with it was a Michelin front tire (with lots of tread depth) that has some unusual wear. The tire is almost flat across the centre, with what looks like some cupping on edges of the flat spot. I have Dunlop's on the bike now, and ...

I too was a lurker, being a newbee I was scouring the pages for more info. Then I found a single piece info that shot straight at me. Made me a safer driver. I paid 500 bucks for the saftey course to ride, and I gladly paid 60 for the info I recieved. Doug Thank You for your time.....and to the res...

Sasha When I was looking for a bike I was looking in the New York/ Pennsylvania area as well. When I checked into it I found out it would be under a thousand dollars to bring up a BMW. They pass all the requirements in stock form. Not all manufacturers do. There is an agency of the gouvernment that...

Sasha, In the grand province of Ontario(tongue in cheek) your M1 is only good for 90 days, you must move up to M2 after the 90th day. I took my course shortly after I wrote the the M1, and had to wait till the 90th day to update my lic. Now if you have had your bike license for some time, try to ke...

Sasha, I live just 100k N/E Toronto and I am 56, with an02 1150RT, I too rode as a kid, but I never got my official motorcycle license until this summer.I took the course offered at the local college, to ease insurance costs. They still kicked me in the knee hard, $1200.00 hard. I bought used, for ...

Before I bought mine I was going to import from the states, it was not really a big deal....mostly because of the manufacturer..BMW is HIGHLY regarded.It was a paperwork deal only and a payment to Ministry, for the deal. Total cost was less than one thousand bucks. That was certified and plated...r...

I own the same helmet, it is BMW.As to what model I don't know. I bought all mine/wife's gear at dealer in Ajax. I was there looking at bikes and salesperson told me of sale coming up. I think they were clearing out for end of season and new product line. I geared us both up, $3000.00 of gear for $...

I bought a 1150rt 60 days ago, I am a new rider(haven't touched a bike in37 years) a lot has changed. I am having the time of my life. This bike IS rock solid, the more I drive the more I learn. It shows me more every ride what it can do.I bought it with 73kms(42,000 mi) on it,all bags, Z Tech exha...

As Dav says, "those pictures are shocking" they are. Seeing the cylinder head, I thought " so glad he didn't follow the bike." So glad to hear that you were not seriously hurt. I have not paid for a membership yet, from what I have just learned it will be worth every penny. Due ...
