Hey folks, I have a 2004 Rockster. Just changed both coils the other day. The bike started running rough and backfiring. Also up in the higher rev range it would just bog down. I'm at 27k miles and a friend with less miles on an 04 GS had the same problem a month ago. It's an easy swap so if anyone ...

I wholeheartedly agree guys!!!! Awesome bike the Rock. The look, the ride. Everything about it screams individuality... But, the reliability issues are just crazy. I have experienced every single problem on my bike that's been posted on this forum. Sorry BMW but never again will I own one until you ...

Bought one on ebay germany for 120 bucks...

I got it from e-bay. Pain in the rear to install. I had to widen the hole a bit to line it up but all's well in the end. Left the silencer off as well. Looks good. Am going to install the Y-pipe next week. Heres the link below, send him an e-mail. Nice guy maybe he can sell you just the screw... htt...

Just bought the same rear hugger. Will install when my Leo Vince y=pipe and end can arrive. The hugger came with an alternate rear shock lower bolt with an extra smaller bolt drilled through the head to accamodate the hugger. Will let you know how it goes...

How much for the fender?
Mine is in need of replacement...
Thanks

Goto http://www.wunderlich.de It's in German though...
They have lots of addon parts to increase horsepower. Cams, Chip, Exhaust...etc... Seems like they don't have these parts on offer in the States or in Greece.

I had/have the same problem. It's no big deal at your next service they can change the seal. easy fix for the dealer. See if you can get it covered under warranty. Most Rocksters had this problem. Poor quality control from BMW. You'll also find chipping paint on fork legs. Ignition wires will get ge...

The cap leaks because of the plastic bit it sits on gets warped. Had happened on my Rockster. Dealer changed it all was fine until the plastic warped again. I guess it can't take the heat generated by the engine.
It's no biggie just wipe down every so often.

Anybody have the fuel line coupling go on them? Yesterday on my return from a tour in Greece my Rock started to cry...boo hoo hoo!!!! It was leaking fuel. By the time I made it home it was as if someone had left the faucet running. Luckily no fire!!!! I ended up changing the male side of the couplin...

Not recomended to mix and match tires. For one thing the front and rear tread patterns are made to work in conjunction with one another. In the rain the front clears a path for the rear preventing hydroplaning and allowing the tire to grip. Example : Dunlop had a problem w/ theD207's wrong direction...

I totally agree w/ranmar850. I've done over 30k on my rockster with a few 600 mile days thrown in. No problem on the buttocks.
Although I am Greek and we are known for our strong backsides

Hey RB... Get well soon.

Sorry to hear about your accident.

Hey if you are ever in Greece I'll let you take the rockster for a ride.
Some nice places to visit.
I'm in the Peloponnese. Nafplion.

I have an R6 as well so we can definately do some riding

Thanks.

I'll Try it out when I get back to Greece.

Hey Guys, My drive shaft seal is causing a drip by the boot right on to my tire. Brought the bike for service and supposedly they fixed the problem. Only problem is it leaking even worse than before. My question is do I need to heat the rear end by the bolt to remove said bolt or can I just pop it. ...

Hey DJ if all goes well.... for ever... The riding is great and the business seems to be taking off. I got 3 tours under my belt now and am going on the next one on the 23rd.. Brian and Shira will be joining us from Backroads magazine. Hopefully they will be enthused and write a nice article about G...

Hey Guys I've been gone for a while. I have officially moved to Greece and have brought the Rockster over with me. Great roads in this neck of the woods. Internet access is a bitch and took me a while to get everything in order. It's good to see that the board is still going strong. Just read the sa...
