Try a search. I tried the lowering kit and found it wanting. I installed the gs parts. Easy job. I replaced the foot peg and control with GS parts. Bike is much more comfortable with this change. Just replace the side plate and associated parts from a GS for both the brake and shifter side. Quote: t...

The job will be a heck of a lot harder if you try to leave the tank inplace.

Remove the tank so you have room to work.

That was a good find, how did you troubleshoot it to the fuel pump ?? As it seemed to be a switch causing the problem . With the engine running you can't tell if the pump is running or not . I at first though it was the sidestand cutout switch. I disabled it and the problem continued. I then noted ...

I expect the contact was lost due to the movement of the bike when I released the clutch. it was a single wire under the tank inside a bundle of wires. When the wire lost contact it killed the fuel pump. Any vibration or movement would make the wire loose contact.

Fixed now and the bike runs perfect.

Any one want to buy a new fuel pump?

Turned out to be a broken wire to the fuel pump which was making intermittent contact.

Fixed now and the bike runs perfect.

I second the side stand sw! mike I eliminated the sidestand switch and the problem still exist, now it stalls with the stand up and clutch out while running. How did you elimiate the side stand sw? I will have to look at the diagrams but my feeling (guess) is the bike thinks its in gear. So is the ...

My 2002 R1150R w/o ABS will start, idle with the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in or with the bike in neutral out of gear. AS soon as I let the clutch out the bike dies.

any ideas of problem, how to fix it?


thanks

Thanks will do

Any economical but durable brands out there with pictures of what it took to change them over? Same for clutch ..want to upgrade these soon as they are getting older now 12 yrs and don't need a blow out on the freeway... I have a 15 inch SS rear brake line for sale, if it will fit your bike.

Item # 10 .

That is at the front of the tank and for the oil cooler.

Can anyone tell me which grommet w/built in nut I need to attach the side panel to the gas tank?

I have checked the fiche and cannot determine which grommet I need.

It is for the lower rear of the gas tank on a 2002 R1150R where the side panel attached to the gas tank.

thanks
