Not sure exactly on what would cause them to squeal. Must be vibration related if the rubber washers are fixing things. BMW plans on having these rubber thrust washers on the 2006 models.
So what's the going rate for teeth these days. I think I use to get a half dollar when mine fell out. Must be close to a buck with inflation now.
If your front brakes squeal on your 1200GS then take it to a dealer. BMW is addressing that problem with rubber thrust washers. There is a service bulletin on the issue, came out this summer some...
Four Motronics!!?? If they used your second one and with a new TPS and all was well (for awhile I gather), then I would suspect the motronic isn't the issue. Assuming the second one was considered...

You may want to have your dealer look again. There is a service bulletin that specifically addresses the fogging of R1150RT headlight lenses. Came out in the summer of last year.
Early on some R1200GS's had a bad seal around the rear ABS sensor that could have possibly caused a rear drive leak. I believe there was a recall that affected some owners. This was sometime early...
At 24k, they'll be pulling off the tank to replace the fuel filter so Redbeemer's suggestion of little fuel in the tank will help the mechanic out quite a bit. If your close to having your annual...
I think the thinner air is more of an influence. Remember the summer olmpic games in Mexico City 1968? Probably not, I wasn't even born. Point is, all the men's events, 400 meters and shorter had...
Unplug the vent line going to your canister. If that solves the problem then something may be clogged in the canister. If it doesn't, then possibly the tube is pinched going to the tank or your...
OK, this may be obvious but the overdrive will get better gas mileage if it is used on the highway frequently. I guess the question to ask is if touring is involved, if so then the overdrive is a...
Engine at operating temp
Place bike on center stand an let idle for one minute
Turn off bike and check oil level
Make sure not to screw the dip stick in all the way when checking it, and...
Looks like so far they've gone to 1st, 3rd, and 5th place in the prologue of the Erzberg race. I think its fantastic that BMW is getting into off-road performance and then supporting a team. ...
Sometimes a wire will have an open in it from where it was zip tied too tight, folded over, or pinched. While holding down your starter button, move your handle bars back and forth. I'd also...
I believe the CAN BUS accessory outlets are switched off at about 5 amps. Also, I'd becareful about jump starting through an accessory outlet. Make sure your added wiring and outlet can handle the...
Which side you adjust depends on if the RPM is high or low, should be 1100 RPM, give or take a few. Engine should be at operating temp and make sure the idle increase/choke is off and that each...
One and a half turns for the oil heads.
I'm not an RT owner, but I believe the 2002 model has the integrated brakes as well. There might be some slight upgrades in the braking system on the 2004, improvements on the integrated ABS. ...

If your looking for directions/map don't rely on mapquest, it will give you a bad map. They have a link...
This is isn't my motorcycle , but a picture I had saved.
Here is a link to more info and good picture to boot.

Yes, its located just off I-80, exit 442. After taking the exit, you'll want to go north on 126th St, left turn if heading east on I-80, or visa versa. Take 126th St to Harrison St. Turn right...
They are still in the process of getting the building and ground finished. Opening in the Spring with a grand opening celebration for June. I just visited the site today and looks like they just...
Had mine done at a ACE Hardwear store. The guy took plenty of time, and didn't even charge me. I had copies made on the spare key blanks and black one, not sure what they are made out of. Keys...
Your right on about recommending your friend to take the MSF course with her sweetie. That way she knows just as much as he does from the beginning at least.
I think waiting a year is a little...
