I am 5'10" (r1150R high OEM seat) and can't decide between a CB or a Parabellum. I was leaning toward the 21" Parabellum windshield, but will take any advice from other riders to make my final choice. Questions: 1. Any pics of either installed on your bike would be appreciated. 2. Is it be...

The low seat has the slope , and the high seat is pretty much flat.

I have a 2003 R1150R with only 3200 miles on it and was shocked today when I went to replace the QD's on the fuel lines. I looked at my wire harness and found an accident waiting to happen. The harness was zip tied to the frame so you will have to cut the ties to inspect your bikes. Please double ch...

Sorry for the thumbnail pic. I'll try again.

I just installed the "high" OEM seat on my 03 R and what a huge difference it makes. The previous owner told me the bike had the high seat installed, so I never gave it a second thought. I am 5'10" and it's a major comfort improvement for me. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_0i4LKIIaUf4/Sl5Y7KFw...

I was considering getting a 2004 K1200GT. I haven't drove it yet but was wondering what are the main driveability differences between the R & K motors?

I know about the TB Sync, but I thought you also need to adjust the throttle cable that connects both TB's?

Does anyone know if there is a step by step procedure for the the throttle cable adjustment? Also, when should it be performed? Thanks.

What is the best tool to buy for the TB adjustment?

Some issues I am having with my new ride. 2003 R1150R 3000 miles 1. Surging 2. Vibration is causing right hand to go numb when I ride 3. Idle is not very smooth 4. Throttle very sensitive at low speeds I would appreciate a list of things I can do (in order of impact) to resolve some of these? Also, ...

I researched the NHTSA recalls and found that this issue is only for the 2002 R1150R model year? Can anyone verify that the 2003 model year does not have this issue? Thanks.

Wow! I am a Ford Motor Engineer and if we would have a fuel line issue like that on our cars or trucks, there would probably have been a national recall to repair them. Why didn't BMW offer free repairs? Thanks for all the help. I will look for DIY pics.

So what is the failure mode of the fuel lines if they are not changed?

My bike was built in September of 2002. Was this issue resolved before my bike was built?

Please give me more detail on the fuel line issue and what I need to do. Thanks.

I have no problems with my bike but was wondering if there are any recalls or known issues I should fix before they show up? Is the 2003 model a reliable year? I want this bike to last a long time. Thanks.

Does anyone have some pictures of the 19.5" of 21.5" Cee Bailey screen installed on there bike they can post? Also, how do you like it?

Is the wiring very diffierent than the stock horn? Any pics would be great.

Can anyone tell me which screen I have on my bike? It has BMW stamped on it. Is it the "touring screen"? Thanks.

I recently bought the 2003 R1150R with as of tonight 2800 miles on it, and was wondering if I should install the left side cam chain tensioner upgrade ? I think I can do it, but do not want to remove any parts I don't need to. Is there an up to date step-by-step pictorial for the R? Also, What impro...
