Re: Replaced Quick Connect, now will not start
I replaced on a couple of years ago and this one this week. I get a good stream of gas if I disconnect the injectors and cycle the fuel pump.

Replaced Quick Connect, now will not start
My first mistake was to let the bike sit for six months after the quick connect broke. I replaced the quick connect, added fresh fuel, but the bike will not start. If i spray a little starting fluid into the intake, it fires right up. Not even a hiccup without the starting fluid. I removed the injec...

Re: Which R1150R?
Where are you looking to get one from? I have been thinking of selling my '04 Rockster since I am in Iraq right now and can't enjoy it. (Three kids in the last three years takes some riding time away too) Would let it go at a good price so if you are anywhere near NC, let me know.

What would you do?
Ok, I am thinking of selling my Rock, let me know what you guys would do. My bike will be paid for in a few months, but I think I may sell it. I am leaving to go back to Iraq for about a year in Dec. and don't know how the bike will do sitting up for that long. I don't have a garage to store it in, ...

Re: Disaster!!!! (I think)
So, I have to know.... Did the dealership never examine the bike, did a factory rep. never inspect the damage, and if not, have you notified BMW of the dealership's Telling you an outright lie? I have no faith in dealerships anymore, I asked my dealership to check my Quick-connects two years ago whe...

Re: Engine oil: Auto or Cycle only?
One important fact that's overlooked is the stock BMW filter is designed for 20W-50 weight oil in a motorcycle engine (higher RPM than a car). Fifty weight oil going thru an AC Delco car filter?? :shock: It's going to internally bypass the oil (unfiltered) more often than you will know, without any...

Wife's bike totalled
Luckily, she wasn't on it. We had my wife's 2005 kawa Nija 500 on consignment at the local BMW shop. They had it out by the road on display and some lady lost control of her car and took it out, along with four other bikes. I guess it sold pretty quick huh?

I did not ride my bike, (although I had wanted to) but one of my brothers rode his 2002 Triumph Daytona. We all had a blas...
