Hey thanks for the pics and the advice. I was a little freaked and had not ridden just to be safe. That is what it looks like exactly. I purchased a new Metzler two days ago and awaiting shipping from Tuscon. I wanted to trade out with Road Pilots however my rear tire is new. Thanks so much. Brian 0...

Front Tire Wear

Good Evening, I recently purchased an 03 r1150rt within the past month. I was checking the tires this morning before I rode in to work and felt something odd on my front tire. It is a Metzler Z6.

Good Morning, I have a shining new (to me) 03 R1150RT in my garage this morning - I am still smiling looking at it....however I would like to install a radio. I have the BMW harness with no radio.

NEW(ish) 05 R1200RT VS 02 R1150R

Hi - I love my r1150r however I am getting a bit older and considering moving up to to the 05 r1200rt. My main reasons are the environmental protection and other creature features. I know this is a loaded question...what is the driving difference between the two? I live 300 miles from the closest de...

Thanks for your responses. I am speaking of where the oval clamp secures to the small gear coming out of the transmission or gear box. I may not have the parts identified correctly however the disconnect point is directly over the catalytic converter. The attachment comes off, I put it back on, and ...

Linkage coming off

Hi - relatively new to the forum however I am in love with my 02 R1150R. I do have one issue - twice in the past month the linkage has vibrated off during my ride. Easily fixed with the tool kit and five minutes however; I would like to correct this issue from happening again. Is this a common issue...

I appreciate the help. It appears that I have to replace the whole left side switch assembly. Any ideas on how NOT to do this? I want to restore however paying over 80 bucks for an inch of plastic is not my idea of fun.

Hi, I recently purchased a 2002 R1150R and I am so pleased. I really love this bike. On to my question....I am looking for a part. I need to get the thumb switch for my left blinker replaced. The turn indicators work, while as much fun as looking for the little dot with my thumb is, I would like to ...
