go to youtube and search chris harris and watch him replace a clutch.. i think the airbox has to be removed. also, even if the slave is good, get a replacement at beemerboneyard. my '03 had slave issue and took my clutch out, replaced by mechanic and THAT one was defective. no warranty, so had deale...

put the old plugs back in and try. plugs, regardless of what cash hungry dealers may say, will go 50k nowadays. if old plugs give same results, synch throttle bodies with tool from boneyard. oh, btw, use a wire guage to reset new plug clearance to .030". most plugs aren't set correctly from the...

go back to stock first, and build from that. take power commander off. adjust valves, get a mercury thingy(beemerboneyard) to synch idle and 3k throttle bodies. after establishing a baseline of proper idle of 1100rpm, you can put all that stuff back on. btw, spray some wd40 around throttle body shaf...

i have the sargent off my '03 r1150r. if u want it, i'll sell it to you. i, however, don't thing it will help since it didn't help me. there is only one way, and that is Russel Day Long. this is my second Russel, had one on my K also. bite the bullet, this is a triumph of function over form. people ...

fluids wont affect how a bike runs. you need to drop that slave cylinder and look at it to make sure time hasnt gunked it up. that bike has sat a lot and the slave will drip down on the clutch giving you a $2000 clutch replacement job. just drop the rear wheel and bottom or rear shock. if in doubt, ...

russell, russell russell!!! their day-long seat will have u in the saddle 24hrs with NO discomfort. get the leather covered top. best $400 i ever spent.

i just replaced my alternator belt on my '03 r1150r. the one that came off my bike(original) had a bunch of official looking bmw numbers on it, but was a continental automobile belt. i took it off and went to one-stop where the guy plugged in the numbers, brought me a dayco belt same size and charge...

just replaced my '03(build date 10/02) r1150r belt yesterday. took the old belt to one-stop, he typed in the reference numbers and came back with a Dayco for $13.00. i tightened to 90 degree rule and will check again in a few thousand miles. easy on and easy off for the R front cover. i'm just comin...

i hav rubberchicken in my bike...works great. or go to mike at www.beemerboneyard.com he is great to work with.

after not getting any definitive info from thermal coating vendors as to what percent their products would heat-block, i wrapped the y pipe with cobra wrap yesterday. afterwards, added 3 coats of black silicone paint on advice from a former Buell owner. heat is noticebly less, in fact less than the ...

have Remus w/baffle in.............

roger, no misfiring, an occasional small pop on decel. the heat, i know, is ambient and am just surprised. it pulls like a tractor and runs great at 7 blips on the af-xied. at 8, it popped too much on decel, i figured gas was igniting in the pipe. i will try some exhaust wrap for the y pipe and see ...

i just installed a ypipe on my '03 r1150r instead of the cat. i feel lots more heat coming from down there than before. i thought it would make the bike run cooler,,,,,explain please...........................thanx

i re torqued my FD pivot bearing yesterday after finding looseness after a clutch replacement. now i guess i'll re torque the front swing arm bearings because of mistrust. any checks for side play on front swing arm play?. also, if i remove FD and reinstall, do you guys phase the drive shaft? no men...

i'm all set. i bought the y-pipe from a member here and scored a Remus slip on scratched for $350 shipped from Remus. I did not like it with baffle out, but love the sound with baffle in. I have an af-xied that i turned down to a 7 setting, and it pulls like a locomotive. only concern is more heat n...

so after replacing my front shock with a used one off this forum and adding a washer for preload, my fork seal no longer leaks!! i'm very happy...............

you'd be well served by dropping that slave cylinder and taking a look. most of them are severely gunked, and bleeding doesn't help. it will leak on your clutch and then u will give the dealer $2000 for a complete clutch job. trust me.................

i'd restate my former statement about a clutch flush. best thing to do with an older 1150 is PROACTIVELY put new slave cylinder in. small job, small cost. will save lots of money later, for sure and it's pretty easy to do.

i bought an oem from ebay for $110 that claimed 5k miles. i trusted the guy, and the shock works great. i am a country boy and the idea of spending $1000 on new oem shock or ohlins etc is foreign to my mind. jesus, it's a shock! plenty of used oem stuff out there from guys installing ohlins etc who ...

yesterday, i had a used, low mileage front shock installed on my r1150 w/36k miles. the guy shimmed it with a washer on top for more spring preload. two advantages, one is bike is infinitely more stable, two is stanchions don't dip to point of scratches on my tubes, so i'll put another seal in and h...
