Final Drive - metal 'dust' in oil
So I'm changing my final drive oil for the first time, and there's a glob of metal 'dust' on the drain plug. Skimming through the post on final drive failures, I see reference to 'shavings' and 'metal slivers', but that's not how I would describe what I'm seeing. Its a oily, silver glob, maybe the s...

Re: Tech Day in Gainesville GA?
I'd be interested, but my schedule is unpredictable lately. I'm close by (mall of GA area) so no major planing involved for me to come. Is the idea that we do a complete service on 1 bike? I'm coming due for my 36k service, but i've got ABS.

[quote="Photoguy"] (part of my confusion was just coming off of a recent VW turbo re-build as a result of sludge build up that was related to a regular/synth oil issue) I feel your pain with the VW... we had one clog with sludge at 60k, fought VW and they paid for the motor swap. Then we s...

Re: No Neutral after Long Ride
Was it possibly in neutral but the neutral light not coming on? I had an older honda that the neutral sensor dosen't work on when it gets good and hot. Works fine when its cold... A bad sensor should be an easy fix.

Re: Where to buy parts?
Am I missing something, or is there not a way to find parts on the chicago BMW site without the part number? I need a couple footpegs and a couple turn signals, as well as maintenance items, oil filter, air filter, and atl. belt. Do I need to actually call them on the phone? That just defeats the co...

Where to buy parts?
Hi all, I just bought a 2002 R1150R that needs a little work, all cosmetic. My top two need right now are replacement pegs (driver and passenger) and turn signals. Any suggestions on where to look other than the dealer? They can be stock, new or used or aftermarket, but nothing to far from OEM. Thanks
