Thanks a lot byrdguy... just what I needed to know!

With apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but could someone please tell me how to get at the lamps - low-fuel etc - on the instrument panel?

THAT'S the one I'm having trouble with - sticker is not the word! It's the only sticker on my German registered bike

Thanks Bob - I'll try the credit card approach!

Has anyone managed to remove the stickers on their fuel tank? I've started to remove mine but I'm getting nowhere fast, even after warming them with a hair drier

I suggest you use the link in the op and read the story - then you'll know why

Great photos and accompanying comments gunga din! For a moment there I thought your 'obligatory church photograph' depicted a full sized building - until I looked again... great shot! Thanks very much for sharing your ride with us :) BTW, I know what you mean about the discipline required to make re...

Big file (22 MB) so be patient as it loads but it includes all the wiring for your 04 R. Source is the Haynes Service Manual.

Excellent! Thanks very much, Michael!

Would I be correct in assuming that power is permanently applied to the fuel low level warning light and that it illuminates only when the tank float switch closes and applies an earth to the circuit? My reason for asking is that I have a fault with the lamp - it's intermittent, but on most of the t...

Can someone please point me in the direction of an electrical wiring diagram for my 04 R1150R?

I'm trying to get to the bottom of an infuriating, intermittent fuel low-level warning light fault.

Thanks in advance

Hi all from sunny but getting cold RSA.

OK, I have just 1 question and 9 pages of Google results were no help.

Where/What is RSA?
Rural South Africa?

Close... Republic of South Africa

Further to my earlier post in this thread... how does one turn throttle locks like the Throttlemeister - SAFELY! - whilst, at the same time, holding the throttle itself steady? My experience with the Throttlemeister is that it's extremely awkward and hazardous to do so.

No, not the same at all. The synchronator has to be calibrated up 50cc's to accomodate the increase in fuel loss on the TPS values. Air notwithstanding. Once you get the modular OBT synchronator calibrated properly, just apply any knowledge gained from this email to a warm damp cloth and wipe off t...

I've got a Throttlemeister fitted. It looks great in polished stainless steel, but ... it's very difficult - imo dangerously so - to engage/disengage whilst riding - a third hand would be useful!. The inabilty to enage/disengage easily whilst riding renders the device almost useless, imo. Holding th...

Wonderful photography of your beautiful part of the world, Michael... thanks for sharing and for bringing a little bit of sunny California - and its lovely nature - into my home today!

btw, how on earth did you take the first shot??

Michael

Can anyone identify these lights (+ mounts) and, if so, would anyone know if they're available in Europe? In addition to being functional, I think they'd look great on my black R1150R!

I'd prefer to see something else but, otherwise, not really offensive.

Some months back, I posted my way of telling where I am in the gearbox. In 4th gear the tach and speedo needles match; that is, they are in the same position on the dials. In third, the tach reads a bit higher than the speedo. In fifth, the tach is a bit lower than the speedo. So, there you have th...

Thanks guys... I'll follow your advice in future!

...can someone please explain to me how you can tell which gear you're in by comparing the rpm and speed indications? There's a wide band of speed/rpm variation for each gear and I simply can't get the hang of it!
