"Much"..... sorry wrong choice of words. Dealer did the work, no mention the clutch being contaminated....but I harbour doubts. Can you have a leaking slave that does not affect the clutch plate?

Just replaced C.S. cylinder on my 02 R1150R (18k), do I also need to replace the clutch?? Doesn't seem to be slipping much at the moment.

thanks CycleRob, I'll check all connections, the ironic thing about the poor start-up is that what ever is causing it has completely done away with the bike surging problem !!! The bike runs soooo smoooth once under way I'm tempted not to correct the starting problem.

Have a 02 with 17k new plugs, sync, valves adj done earlier this season. When starting it, after bike has been sitting (eg over night), the motor will fire up but then sputters and stops. When I hit the starter button for the second time it starts a little rough but then maintains a normal idle. Onc...

Thanks MIXR, I'll take your advice and the gear lube in a few k. Much appreciated.

I felt a funky, wobbly vibration while cornering in one direction (I believe it was left) and later did the centerstand test of wiggling the wheet from the 3 and 9 position and had some play. When you said you checked the oil, did you mean the final drive oil? When I got home and drained the FD oil...

towerworker thanks for input. Bike has 12k (miles) and was reasonably warm from about a 10mile run and in good tune. omg1010 just an old habit of mine to look for neutral first. Setting around 11-1200rpm. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

On a ride today while approaching a red light, as I was down shifting (blipping the throttle), the bike suddenly cut out. With traffic rushing up behind, I quickly found netural and restarted the engine and carried on. Anyone have any idea what my have caused this? This is the first time this has ev...

Thanks Sweatmark, just the kinda info I was looking for.

Is anyone running Syncs on their R, and if so, what size? I would like to be able to ride gavel roads for extend periods of time. Would this tire work?

Have mis-matched pair of tires that came with the bike. Front: Pilot 2. Rear: ME880. Front tire has approx 3500 miles and the rear at 700 miles. In the dry, the bike seems to handle very well, but haven't had much opportunity to ride in the wet as yet. The question - is this a good tire combo?? Your...

Just bought an '02 R1150R a month ago with 9300 miles on it. This is my 1st oilhead. The bike start easily when warm, but is hard to start when cold (mornings). Is this normal? Bike has new plugs and running 10w50 semi-syn. :-k Have you charged the battery for 24 hr? I know with the BMW battery cha...
