I like to think of it as a sandwich where the clutch friction disc is the meat. Without the cover, it would be open face. :D

Shipping stuff into Canada from the US is quite expensive. Turns out "Free Trade" ain't free at all. :brow
Just to put the screws to taxpayers some more now eBay is charging export fees at time of...
Well that's some good news I suppose. Kinda weird it would fail so early on. Monitor the voltage of the donor when you try jumping it. If it drops very quickly I would give up. Your battery might...
Carefully slice open the harness around the clamp area of your failed HES plate and this is what you will probably find. As Paul Glaves mentioned, heat, age and very hot moisture and this is what...
Thanks Roger. I could net get to the schematics tech page without a login ID. Direct link works.
I see the archived versions are gone now but I still have them.
Hey mine too!
1) Yes there is a fuse. Fuse 4 count in from left side of bike. Mine was good.
2) I swapped the horn relay with one of the other four identical ones and it still would only make a...
I see what is going on here. Doug Raymond has released several versions of the 1150RT schematics.

R1150RT_Elec_Diagram-v2.pdf

Doug Raymond's schematics show F8 is for the radio. GSAddicts original OEM drawings (yes he bought them from BMW) show the same thing. The high and low beam are wired directly to the load relief...
:scratch Didn't say it wasn't. I was referring to my HJC SyMax II.
Pulling out the battery is the only way to check the connections. Not sure if that has been done yet? That would be the first thing to check since the oilhead alternators are pretty bullet proof.

Have to agree with jhgilbert and gsaddict on the Schuberth C3. I've been using flip up modulars for quite a while now both for stop and go and sun glass convenience and fit. My last one was the HJC...
Buying a used set and having them rebuilt to suit you is a cost effective alternative. Find a good used pair of shocks (Wilbers, Ohlins, Works Performance, etc.) and swap out the worn out stock...
Nah. I pasted the data from Phil Hawksley's wonderful site. Canada started going metric in 1970 and dropped Imperial Gallons around 1972 I think it was. Canada modified the weights and measures act,...
Fuel capacity for the R1100R is 21 litres / 4.61 gal / 5.54 gal US
Interesting report and some nice install photos also EkinOR. I know what you mean about having to remove it! :banghead
Similar results on my test ride with the R1100 version can be found here:...
Yes. First post about tires for an R1200GSA. 2nd and 3rd about NW travel. Either way you slice it ... ;)
Before this thread gets too deep... R1200GSA questions belong in the hexheads forum.
Travel questions are probably best answered in the Just Ridin forum.
You usually get better info that way.
Yeah, holy blue paint indeed. I wonder what Bing agencies does when you send them a TB for a rebuild. Do they use a flow bench? I bet they have a simpler procedure but I would be curious to know.

Just to be clear the throttle cables have nothing to do with idle air/RPM adjustment. The baseline setting is achieved by throttle plate adjustment (throttle stop screws and lock nuts) and the TPS...
160/60 18 Storm II Ultra still sitting in the shed waiting for a rear tire to wear out when I'm actually near home. :laugh
Never seems to work out that way. Just replaced it's mate on the front and...
I'll chime in what some others have mentioned. Not my opinion but the advice of experienced mechanics I trust. First off, 20/50 is the correct viscosity. Take a look at the recent oil test data...
Narrow Band O2 Sensor Shift Device Beta Test Report
June 2, 2013, prepared by Happy Wanderer
I?ve returned from a 4,000+ mile beta test of Roger04RT?s narrowband O2 sensor shifting device on my...
The black rubber cover sort of peels back if that makes sense. You need to get it folded back and out of the way somewhat so you can get at the clip.
Best to check that accessory plug connector with a meter first. On my 1100RT it is un-switched i.e. hot all the time.
I recall reading here a lot of folks use the tail light power wire for switched...
You've already got this figured out but I used to find this drawing handy. Maybe someone else will also.
