2004 R1150R - ABS Rework Part?
This bike is new to me. The bike has the ABS system removed including the wiring harness. But there is a mystery part installed just forward of the battery that I discovered when changing the battery. There are only 2 wires connected to this electrical part. There are (2) wiring pigtails that... -

Rough running engine? Remember to check your coil connections.
Several weeks ago I bought a very clean 2004 R1150R with 19k miles on it. On my test ride, it ran a bit rough but after inspecting the bike and feeling comfortable it was in great condition, I figured I'd be able to chase the problem down in short measure. Well, I'm embarrassed to say that... -

R1150R tires, again!
Ok, im looking for tires for my low mile R1150R. I know this has been brought up in the past, but with so so many choices ranging from $400 perellis to $150 shinkos im a little overwelmed. Michelin's website recomends 2ct's. Any current suggestions? I ride mostly locally on Long Island, so... -

05 R 1150 R won't start.
I have an 2005 R1150R with about 42,000 miles that I just serviced. Gas tank off to change the battery, all new fluids and air filter. I checked the valves which were fine and I didn't touch and changed the alternate belt. I put the bike back together and took it for a test ride, about 10... -

SW-Motech Racks for R1150R part needed
Hello, I'm a new member of the BMWMOA, although I've been riding BMWs for about twenty years and riding motorcycles for over forty years. I'm one of those guys (perhaps like yourself?) who does most of my own mechanical work, and doesn't like to waste (that means spend) money. A couple of years...- dandeldesierto

My 01 R1150R?s start problem has been bothering me for a long time
Hi there My 01 R1150R?s start problem has been bothering me for a long time. It starts extremely well when engine is hot. However, when cold start, I have to push the start button at least 4~5 times (use fast idle lever every time, no wear in cable). The starter (2 year old) works well...- tony_sk_wu

Time for brake caliper overhaul/rebuild? ('04 R1150R)
Hello all! Figured I'd check my pads before flushing my fluids, and noticed that the inside pads are worn slightly more (maybe 1mm) more than the outboard pads on both front brakes. Outside pads are at about 4mm and inside pads are at about 3mm. I've had no braking problems, but do... -

Final Drive Boot Fire
My '02 R1150r final drive boot caught fire on Saturday. It appears that the boot was trying to occupy the same space as the brake-disc. The boot is not clear back against the shoulder at the rear-end. Could this have deformed the boot enough to rub, and catch fire? I recently had an... -

New to me low mileage R150R
I just bought a 2002 R1150RA with only 4000 miles from the original owner. He said it was always stored inside and was not ridden in the rain. On the surface, everything looks just about perfect. The original Michelin tires still have a lot of tread and show no signs of checking. It's even...
