I replaced the spark plugs. I went for a short test ride, 5km, because I did not have a helmet. I could not make the problem happen. So it looks like it's fixed. Tomorrow I'll go for a proper ride - hopefully confirm it's fixed. But now, how can a plug cause this type of problem. I've attached a...

Yep. I'm on the West Coast, but Stellenberg is no problem Thanks for the reply. Do you have a coil for sale? Or are you offering I can borrow to test? Send me email with your contact details. I'll call and we can talk. Thanks again Paul [email protected]

Mmmm... coils - the reply I expected and didn't want  :) I have the single, under-the-tank coil. My strategy will be: 1) Try borrow a known to be working coil 2) Swap it out and test ride. 3) If the problem goes away,  go hunting for used or non-oem replacement 4) If the problem doesn't go...

Mostly it runs fine. I normally go at 120 to 140. It is only when I twist the throttle open suddenly that it misses. Most times missing only once, but sometimes it has two or three stumbles and then goes smoothly again. It does not matter which gear I'm in. When in neutral I can twist the gas...

I have the wheels. Rear disk and callipers on order I'm still searching for 2 front disks 1150 GS or 1200 GS I'm also exploring having them made - anybody know of engineering works who who will make disks from a template?

I'm searching for 2 X front brake rotors for BMW 1150 GS or 1200 GS AND/OR fastener sets for the above OR suggest a supplier Used is cool Non-OEM is cool

Thanks, Flash It’s a single swing arm (BMW) and I want to move the rim towards the final drive. If I can position the tire so it runs in the centre of the frame, i e where the original tire was, the stresses on the assembly should not be a factor - I think. The stresses on the rim would be...

Thank you Been Normal prices are like nearly what I paid for the whole bike  :) I'll go look

2 X front & 1 X rear With or without callipers

I'm replacing my rear wheel with a wider, spoked wheel. In order to keep front/rear alignment I want to rebuild the wheel so the hub sits 12mm left of centre in the rim :)I know it works for mountain bikes and wooden wheels on horse carts - is it okay on a motorbike?  :patch:

Thanks Alan It's not the choke. I did valve clearance and shims it's within spec now. I did a leakdown and compression test - all okay See my other post. I'm putting wire wheels on this one and would like to talk to you about  your project Paul

When my 1986 K100 warms up the idle revs go up to nearly 1500. It starts first turn and idles at below 1000. But when warm, it creeps up. Here's what I've done and/or tried in order to try get idle revs down: I have replaced all rubbers from the plenum down to the cylinder head, the crank case...

Now that's interesting --- R100 I'm going to store your email address in a safe place. Next time I have to register a bike that's been standing years I know who to ask. I'll pay R300. I have just gone through 11 months of elapsed time, 483 emails, 748 phone calls and 19 visits to traffic...

I have an 1150 GS one. Will that work for you?
