BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Thank you for your comments. I do know how to perform regular maintainence on my 1150. My previous ride was a 95 1100GS. I put 50K on that one and did all scheduled upkeep on the motorcycle myself. I had no problems with that motorcycle except for occaisonal throttle surge at low rpm. I really like ...

I have 12k on the machine. I bought it new and didn't ride it as nearly as much as my previous BMW motorcycles. It has...

Dear Vitamin C

Thanks for your prompt reply! It is a shame. When my K75 was out of warranty BMW fixed a fuel injection problem free of charge. Oh well!

hello I have learned that the servo/abs machines sometimes have had a servo failure at mileages as low as 25k. I made a posting that asked if anyone had this problem and there were zero replies. I would really appreciate to hear from anyone who has a BMW with the servo brakes that has had no failure...

hello O have an 02 R1150R with the servo "power" brakes. I have recently learned the servo breaks after only having around 25k on the machine. I recently took my bike out of storage and it works fine. I have 12k on the bike. Has anyone experienced failures of the servo unit at low miles? I...

hello I am wondering if it is ok to use non synthetic oil 20w50 in my R1150R - it would be for a short period of time as eventually I would use synthetic in the future. The machine has been in storage and recently "revived". However, living in New England is a very short riding season and ...

hello I have a 2002 R1150R with ABS and the linked braking system. There is a shop in New Hampshire called Affordable Beemer Services that claims BMW has incorporated shoddy workmanship into the oilhead models. He says that the linked braking system is junk and that it will on the average last about...

I just read an ad on e bay for a 2002 r1150r abs with 68k on it. the owner stated that he had the final drive replaced at 30k. was this model noted for having final drive failures at such low mileages? I have the same model with only 10k on it that I recently took out of storage for the past four ye...

thanks for the tip- I will only use a few ounces of injector cleaner- or better yet- none at all for the initial startup- thanks for the tip

thanks for the input- maybe I shouldnt ride it at all- or possibly only a very short distance- like a 1/16 of a mile ? I talked with ea dealer and he said it should be o however it should be brought in for a full service ASAP including oil change brake system flush- valves. i managed to drain all th...

well- i will have the brakes bled- but just for now- i just want to get the bike running- it isnt registered- and see if the brake servo pump works- i may take a brief ride up the road for lest- less than a 1/4 mile to see if the system is functioning properly- thanks 4 the response

on another website I read how there are a lot of servo/pump failures on the bmw assisted braking systems- in a previous post I have told about my 02 r1150r being in storage for the past 4 years- on the last ride the brake system worked fine- will I have problems when i restore the machine to service...

I dont know- I think I will keep my servo beemer

well I have a 2002 r1150r with the servo brakes- only 10k for mileage- never dropped no scratches- new tires - needs battery and full service- in storage in a heated basement for the past 4 years- thinking of selling it- why? I am not to fond of the dealer as 2 dealers went out of bizzness where I l...

I have a 1150 r with abs. I havent used the machine since 2007. I drained the fuel tank back in 07. Recently I asked my dealer how much it would cost to make it road ready again. He said that he said he would most likely have to replace the fuel injectors and the fuel pump. I know for sure that I ne...
