Hello guys, I’m actually from the Audi Forum. After long considerations, I got a R100R, my first BMW, Bj 92,-24000 km,- 2950,-€. Was always a dream of me, but now I’m a bit disappointed. First I was very pleased, with the strong torque, the comfortable sitting position, the very appealing appearance, all around a nice moped, even in the colour Ametist. What annoys me more and more are the flapper motor and the tacky circuit! the following problem. Was the last time on the highway and wanted to drive the cow out. until 170km/h everything normal, but then it broke off, as if it did not get any fuel anymore. Then had to go down to about 140km/h until it took off again, also I can not get you in the lower gears at maximum speed. Shouldn’t you really be able to turn every gear up to the maximum speed, or? Does any of you know the problem?, can it be due to not properly synchronized carburettors? actually “normal” runs, also takes really good gas, also runs nicely round. The engine was once throttled, but has been removed, I also convinced myself of it. I previously drove a CX 500 C, where the engine was much smoother and more revolving compared to the BMW, not to mention the circuit. Be happy about every hint, or any answer!!! Greetings from Kiel

Hello Talker! I am about to get a R 1150 Rockster. Now I have found that the opinions about the “outfit” of the Rockster go far apart. I would be interested in the opinions of the BMW community here in the forum and hope for a controversial discussion. I start out: I personally like the Rockster very much. Even if it consists of building blocks from the BMW shelf it is THE other BMW. It stands out from the BMW program and is no longer this The motorcycle that everyone likes, no longer THE conventional BMW that appeals to the generation 25-55 years. A motorcycle with a mature engine with particularly good driving characteristics for the country road, without fitting into the category of streetfighters who disregard all traffic rules. How do you see the Rocksters? Thank you for your contributions!

On July 5th, 2011 I bought my 2nd new RT. On July 6th, 2013 = one day after the 2 year warranty, the disc went up and stopped!Appliance rejected! BMW statement: 2 years warranty is enough! Now a BMW special operation tries to get a new switch: BMW spare parts service: There are currently no switches! The workshop received a switch. The disc goes up and down, but you can’t turn off the turn signal! Next possible delivery of a new switch: 25.7.2013. Finally summer, but the RT is in the workshop! What’s that? It starts with sch….! With the then new BMW (after 1,000 km inspection) we drove over England to Ireland = 5,200 km in 12 days. Three times the engine went off and always in extremely difficult situations. BMW AG added: “That can’t be!” A friend of mine has the problem at almost every crossing: the engine just dies off! BMW AG says: “That can’t be!” BMW AG almost only installs cheap parts! But probably not only with motorcycles – also with cars were called alone in the USA: 500,000 times back!

Hi everyone, would like to hear your opinion or read… I drove a r1100r until about 6 years ago and was quite satisfied with it. I want to get back in the car and think all the time about which moped it should be and don’t come to the point. The fact is, a boxer has to be… I think it’s great! The short choice is a used r1150r or the Tourer R1150RT. My driving distances will be very mixed. a little bit around the corner or if it is a weekend tour of 3-400km. One to two times to the kinship with approx.600 km. What will be the better choice? I am no longer a boy’s pound but not so old now again. Should be comfortable but also be possible to heat with a little fun over the passes….a certain weather protection would of course be of advantage. Bish what contracts I already have but on a spitting up to the bones I could do without… Who of you has already with this decision fought and how (or would) you orient yourselves? Would be great to read a few opinions of you:-) Thank you already in advance

Moin together. Topic clutch rattles will be known. My K1200S, 2005, 30K ran, does when it is warm, in the ears hurt in idle. I pull the clutch rattles nothing. I can now complete the lamella set (700€ parts original ) or the clutch basket (1000€ original part). Does anyone know exactly what is defective? I find both a little expensive. Has someone experience with accessories, which are clearly cheaper. Thank you!!! Holger

Hello all, I have unfortunately the following problem with my BMW S1000R (17500km) from 2015: In the cold state no problems. As soon as the machine gets warm (about 20min drive) it starts to stutter at constant speed over the complete speed band. It feels as if for the moment one or two cylinders completely shut down. But as soon as I turn up the gas during the stutter, it turns stutter free and with full power into the speed limiter. The fault memory was unfortunately empty. Also the MKL never went on. On good luck I was calibrated by BMW still the gas grip or throttle valve and changed the spark plugs. Unfortunately also without success. My next suspicion would now be the ignition coils. Would the behavior speak for it? In addition, I was told that the air mass meter could be defective. However, I could not find a spare part in the net and some even claim that the S1000R did not have any en hat. I hope for helpful answers and thank you already in advance!

servus, have some questions for the purpose of the braking system, I have 2 motorcycles, once a fireblade sc50 and once a boxer R1150R Bj 2002, now I wanted to change the brake fluid yesterday at both machines… at the honda everything worked smoothly, but at the bmw I screwed the lid on top of the brake lever, let the motor run (because of abs) and when I pressed the lever, it sprayed out the upper brake fluid. n to pump, that ran 10 sec well, then just take air, although there was still liquid in the tank above… and pumping is also nciht more inside… now the ABS lamp flashes with running motor, and braking system without function, first it slows down normally, with stronger actuating it falls out, and bremms no longer… can someone please help me further, or tell me what I did wrong… banks in advance…

Hello, I would like to buy a motorcycle soon and since I don’t have a class A driver’s license at the moment, I couldn’t do test drives, etc. But I will probably have the driver’s license in my pocket until the beginning of May and then I want to get a machine as soon as possible. Information about my person: I’m male, 29, 175cm, and have only some scooter experience (125cc) on Mallorca It should be a new machine between 300-700cc and it can be bi In the short term, the following models have been made: BMW G310R KAWASAKI Z650 and Z300 KTM DUKE 390 YAMAHA MT-03 and MT-07 optically I find the G310R and Z650 the most beautiful and since G310R is even about 1000€ (after deduction of the Kawasaki start grant), I am thinking about whether they could be the right machine for me. In two things I have concerns about the G310R and the G310R. d is that it is built in India (and above all partly with Indian parts) and that the delivery times could become too long. I will only be able to decide whether the enough power is enough after a test drive. What do you say about it? Does someone already have experience with the machines mentioned above and/or can help me with my purchase?

Hello spring is about to come… Now again a machine has to come first question should be a more mature R 1200 GS (Mü oder TÜ) or rather the newer LC but I have something to think about for children’s diseases at the beginning of the construction time comes to my attention this advertisementhttp://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… However just like written above one which ran quite at the beginning of the tape I would have another in sight (local newspaper) accidenter, was with Origi Nal parts re-furnished BJ 6/15 Lupin blue with 4200 km, first hand, full equipment except spoke rims, possibly with suitcases for 12900 Euro what do you think about it

Hello experts, I need your help for my son. We bought him an Aprilia Pegaso 650, BJ1997, and ran only 9000 KM. I post here because I think the machine is quite similar to the F650… at least as far as the problem is concerned: So: motorcycle runs great until it just runs out after ~1h when driving. then she has to chew off a little so she even starts again… And so it goes to home… On, Off, Wait… On… Someone knows the problem and can use a I think she’ll get gas, the tank vents are also working, petrol hoses are checked.
