Re: Bike just quit running.

Yea, it was the fuel line. Found a mechanic who works for a local dealership and works out of his house on Sundays and Mondays. Had him change every fluid on the bike, new tires, adjust the valves and put metal Q/D's on the bike. 7,000 miles and one oil change later and I am hooked for life on this ...

Re: Warm Weather Riding Jacket

Good timing, Was just shopping for a warm weather jacket. Saw a jacket on Motorcycle-Superstore.com called Firstgear Rush. Waterproof and removable liner for about $170. Anyone know anything about the jacket?

Re: My long wait is over

Have the same bike, same color which I bought this year with just 8000 miles. I am thrilled with the performance and the attention I get even when it is parked. Put some maintenance money and new tires on it and I am good for the season. I am thrilled to be part of the BMW family and hope to see som...

Bike is running again

Posted on this site on April 22 that the bike just quit running. The problem was a separation of the fuel line in the tank. Found a BMW bike mechanic near my home who does some side work. Having just bought the 2002 with 8000 miles, I had him change all fluids and bring maintenance up to date for ti...

Re: Bike just quit running.

Thanks, Kickstand is up. I will check the bolt. A lot of posts on this site refer to the fuel filter. Never heard the whining noise with the fuel pump until this issue occurred.

Bike just quit running.

New today. Just bought an R1150 R 2002 with 7800 miles. Riding into work today and the bike just quit, like it ran out of gas. Checked fuel pump fuse and seemed OK. The bike will turn over but makes a whining noise when the key is turned on and when the starter button is released. Fresh tank of gas ...

Bike just quit

Just joined. Bought a used 2002 R1150 R with 7800 miles. Riding to work today and the bike just quit, like it ran out of gas. The motor cranks but there is a whine when the key is turned on and when the starter button is released. Checked the fuse for the fuel pump, seems ok. Plenty of gas. Very per...
