Loose/nervous ish steering at high speed.

My 1150r feels not good at 55 mph and up. It feels like I can twist the bar from side to side like I was driving slow. I think the steering should be heavier at high speed like a car? And in corners it feels like it wont go straight ahead. What can this be? I drive some gravel. The front tire is the...

Re: LED rear light problems.

Re: My rear tire worns fast. Is it because the breaksystem?

It is K60 Scout I use on a 1150R. I like to have the option to drive on gravel. I dont drive hard or burning rubber. Here in Norway the tarmac is like poo. Lots of holes, cracks and bumpy. On advriders.com they say it lasts "forever" if u use them like 70% tarmac and 30% gravel.

R1150GS front seat on r1150r?

Do you think it is possible? I will not keep the passangerseat. It will be a one mans rider.
I ask because I think it looks better to my style. My bike will more or less be a scrambler to use over gravel mountain roads.

Re: NooB r1150r rider from IL

Cafe_chaser, change out your tires. This are not good. Specialy the rear tire. I did, and the bike is so much more fun to drive in curves and corners. With af-xied it (google) is also much easyer to ride in inner city.

Re: Can anything make the R1150r louder?

Sounds strange. My year '01 runs like hell with af-xied but no end can at the exhaust. Even runs better at idling.
It is strong as a hors and from 4000 rpm and up, its really fly:-)
It has so far run 114.000 km.

I think this is the same y-pipe I bought from UK. Black Widow Exhaust (BWE). Cheap.
