BM Bikes & BM Riders Club

interesting thread!

Have you asked them what the registration is and then chase that up ??

Maybe it is your bike ?? :D

Don;t worry about it You can;t get it separate You have to buy a small kit Do an internet search on BRA30313

The split ring on the other end keeps the pin in the calliper If you are worried then use a small cable tie or as I did a short length of copper wire twisted around and tied

Maybe the bloke just worked out that it was too cheap after being bombarded with phone calls ;)

Its a good idea as You can move the crank off the thrust washer locating pins if you push and haul at the flywheel too much

Then when you tighten it all up again it locks up solid and you may have trouble getting the thrust washer shim back to its place!

Hopefully sorted now ??? Is there a very damaged 1200 piston above >?

Pardon for slow rectification I didn;t see the issue initially

ONLY proviso IS that the gear oil that you are putting in is GL5 specification ! IF you have milky fluid coming out ??? YOu need to top up with paraffin and then with ATF and run the motor for a bit with the paraffin whilst flicking up and down through the gears with the rear wheel off the deck So t...

Under 30k miles and probably not over stressed looking at the condition of the bike. I think a few emergency stops and the cracks will appear, age and general use will not make them fail, it is the extremes that cause the failures. One good pothole is all it takes !!! Please take heed I know its no...

I don't know if replacement wheels are still available under the recall! No Longer available If I recall correctly It may be worth sourcing a used replacement yourself and having it painted the correct colour and get it fitted and retain the original for a all mounted souvenir https://forum.boxerwo...

Coil fires simultaneously on both cylinders its a wasted spark system Even the 1150 twin sparks fire the lower plus simultaneously a few degrees after the upper plugs

I have seen coils split under neath where the red infill material meets the outer where the out lets are

Rain Hmm ??? Cracked Coil Ced???

What colour is your Coil??

There is a warning "Not to leave the bike idling" in the Owners manuals as damage to fairing lowers may occur

with a K1200RS it is normal to keep the ABS "brain" fitted into the wiring loom (but without the hydraulic assembly ) as it interprets signals from the rear ABS sensor ( and can read front if rear signal disappears ) There is no mechanism to turn off the ABS warning except to remove the light blue c...

Yes in deed but its good practice to strip and clean all those bits just to make sure you can! It also allows you to "Properly" clean out all the poo from inside the slider section and reassemble with anti seize grease and inspect and run a tap through threads etc that may well be corroded etc etc e...

Get a set of progressive fork springs and an Alloy top yoke instead of that horrendous cut plate steel The normal Weight oil for them which is very hard to get is 3 w I usually just used 5 w for my customers and had no complaints 10W will make them very stiff and not fluid in movement a 50:50 mix of...

Actually Ced it "could" also be due to the starter motor I have seen "serviceable" batteries cause this fault due to the current draw of a starter motor where the internal gearbox is full of dust and grime The Pinion etc are again covered in clutch dust and take extra energy to spin and of course th...

Really nice to hear from you Again

I often wondered how you were faring I sent a couple of messages or pms enquiring

Great to see you have enthusiasm again

(Oh and If you do have to go changing seals etc Don;t use those stupid BMW preformed rubbish PLEASE!!!

Pre R259 (Oil Cooled engines) did not have any NOx testing

Some of the last of the 1150 versions did

Are you a resident inside the Ultra clean Zone? Or are you a commuter?

Surely there will be an allowance and or a get out for either a resident or a historic vehicle ?

there are quite a few systems that mount on the alternator nose these days which is a much more accurate method of timing

Peter kindly forwarded this .. From the BMW NE Section On Thursday 6th June Phil Oughtred sadly passed away and we have lost another valued and treasured friend from our section. The arrangements for his funeral are as follows: On Tuesday 18th June at 2:00pm the cortege will be leaving from Phil and...

I spotted this today and thought some of you may have known Phil

Just heard that Phil's funeral will be next Tuesday 18th June 2019 at 2.30pm. There will be a celebration of his life afterwards at Lumley Castle.

If clarification of location is needed I can ask the guy that posted it

RIP Sir

Damn Sorry to hear about the off If I recall you can "just" about get to those 2 x 8mm nuts with a long skinny extension and an 8 mm socket from a 1/4 drive socket Whereabouts are you ? I may be able to drop by and offer assistance Send me a private message with details rather than in a public forum...

please hang on to the scrap one until we meet up. If I get a chance I would like to see if we can work out how they fail, if we can the club will have a swap out test unit George the water in the "Connection Well" just shorts out the solid state relay and burns it out Probably the the third stupide...

Hi Guys, That’s me ordered a second hand fpc from James Sherlock, it should be here Thursday/Friday. If you get a length of twin core cable and a fuse holder you can make up the wires that are below the FPC via a fuse connected to your battery and ride the bike home to your own workshop Buy a NEW O...

Fuel Pump controller The idiots in the design studio put the fecking thing in a well (Why it could not be the highest bit and let water drain away or even get near the circuits is beyond me!!) and it has a small silicone seal to prevent water ingress front Left hand side the fuel tank of the bike as...
