Don't hesitate on the fuel filter, it wasn't THAT bad. Just run the tank low and be gentle when wiggling it in and out.... oh and don't be a ding bat like me and try to disconnect all the lines while hold the tank in your other arm

I've put around 5k on mine since I bought it earlier this year too! I am slightly worried about the reported breaking fuel connections, is this a pressing issue that I should address sooner than later? With my rather limited funds I'm trying to cover all my bases, including getting more proper ridin...

So over the past seven years I've progressed from a 250 nighthawk to a 650cs, and from the cs to an r1150r. I literally knew NOTHING about maintenance. I've since started working on the r1150r and have been pleasantly surprised by how simple this thing is to work on. I just replaced the air and fuel...

With the accessories and condition, i didn't feel too bad. I've been getting better with the shifting and am looking at my first ride out of the state soo...

Howdy hive, just thought i'd check in as a new boxer owner. I've been riding for about 6 years, starting with a dinky 250 nighthawk.
