BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

A goup of us here in Cleveburg did our own adjustments the other week. With good results BTW. I too had trouble replacing the rubber plug that covers the sproket. Someone there suggested replacing it with the plug that comes on the airheads. I went to the local dealers ship and the parts guys carrie...

You must have stopped at the same place I did on Rt16.[/img]

I was there and met a few of the boys at the Sherpa tents.

The absolute easiest way is to go behind the power adapter,and notice the two power wires that attach by slip fit connectors. Just pull those and slide in the bare wire end of the GPS. There is enough room to make a solid connection when you re-attach. Hint these wires are hot so you will have power...

I just signed up and plan on camping. As far as travel it is a good 8-10 hrs I think from Cleveland. I'm not sure if I could get it done in one day or maybe spend the night in WV (Princeton) then come in on Thursday morning. I hear to have a chance to win any door prizes you must be there on Saturda...

I have one on my 2002 R1150R. I'm about 6' tall and sit on a Rick Mayer seat that puts my butt an inch or two higher than the stock seat. I also use a Wunderlich touring handlebar. Therefore, my head position is higher and further to the rear than stock. The Parabellum gives me good head and body p...

I was using a Suburban lowering kit. He does sell a modified shift lever but nothing for the brake. I never did feel that I needed the shift lever. I wear a 12.5 boot and really never felt it was an issue. Just slid my foot under the lever. The brake you can lower it somewhat but it is a minor adjus...

Welcome! I too was new in the spring of 2008 just purchasing a 2002 R1150R. It is quite the addictive habit and you should be careful not to get to heavy into the tweaking phase. It will cost you all your spare change, but increase your love for riding and the bike. Hope to hear some stories from yo...

Well I bought myself another add on. Elf Highway Pegs. Brand new never put on, bike was traded in for a 1200 GS. Paid $225 shipped. I have mounted the Givi mount and Pelican case on the bike. Looks nice but I need to be careful when swinging my leg over the seat. Throttle lock not on yet. Rode about...

Yes south is an option. I have a free place to stay near Charlotte NC. If I recall there is also a BMW ride-in but is that not more like July in eastern Tenn / NC area? Now you have me thinking maybe Virginia or WV in the spring. Ohio River tour from Marietta to Louisville, KY. Or to Cincy for some ...

Well I keep adding items as I tweak it up a bit. I did over 3000 miles this summer. Zumo 450. Mounted on the handle bars just left of center. Slightly covers the speedo, but with the GPS it tells you the speed. Throttle Lock. Not on yet. Used center mount hard case. One of those black plastic cases ...

I too have installed the lowering kit from Suburban. Mater of fact they are in Cleveland area and I visited their facility. They do have a web site so I suggest you search for them. They sell a shifter extension but do not sell a brake extension. Their suggestion on the brake is to re-adjust the ped...

I am back. Just did the 12k service and annual service. I had the BMW dealership do it. $465.99 was the total. $280.00 was labor. Services: Oil and Filter New Brake Fluid New Gear Oil Trans Fluid Crush Washers Valve Adjustment New Valve Seals Spark Plugs Throttle Adjustment Air Filter I must admit, ...

Read and learn.

I use Westone UM2

Good luck! Congrats etc. I purchased my 2002 this year and have been absolutely pleased with it's performance. It's been over 20 yrs since I last rode a bike. So in those terms you should be fine after a few miles. It took me about 700 before I felt I knew the bike and how it handles. I agree, watch...

I just put Suburbans peg lowering kit on mine. Very well built.

Great people give them a call. I went to see them a week ago and bought the lowering kit.
Did not buy the shifter extension. Not an issue for me.

Helps my bum knees.

Let the site download. It takes a few seconds. I thought the same but after 10-20 secs the pics show up. I wish we could load off the computer like the other bmw sites. I just noticed for some reason when not signed in as a member pics did not download. Go figure, this is a first for me.

I put on the Parabellum, works OK but I have added a Laminar Lip. Helps but not sure if I like it.
I have posted a pics on the other site to see my changes.

Well I now have over 700 miles on the bike since bringing it home.. Yesterday I put on Suburban Peg Lowering Kit. I does make a difference in the knees. I can still shift but the rear brake arm will need to be lowered. Hopefully today. Not sure if I want to try the extended shifter. windshield. Toda...

I did it this winter. Bought a 2002. Do take the safety riders class. It really brings back the feel and mental thought process for good riding. Love mine, 53 years old, 6'2" 280. One tweak you may need is the peg lowering kit. My knees did not like the original tight bend. Funny how the body c...
