Hi. It has been a long time since I rode the bike. Does the fuel pump run all the time? It does so on mine at the moment and I can't remember if it was the case before. Regards Riaan

I removed the tank, the abs, the ecu to get to change the fuel pressure regulator and pipes.Then I assembled it all,also changed tanks.

A quick recap. Last October a pedestrian walked in front of me on the XR 650L and I suffered severe knee damage. Ligaments on both side of the knee torn, miniscus removed. Doc said that another blow on the knee will necessitate a knee replacement. I sold 4 of the 5 bikes, bought a small car and...

As you might recall, on 10 January this year, Gertrude went down with myself and the wife onboard. I lost half on the pinkie on the right hand, 3 busted ribs and she had to get a plate in the right hand along with 5 busted ribs. Subsequently, I had my right ankle fused. I am just about ready...

Ok, I admit to having a problem. I had a 3 month lay-off from riding after the BMW crash. Allison would not start after 3 months, and knowing that the battery is the same as I bought her with in December 2009, I replaced the battery. I drive 60km each way, thus 120km, more than enough to...

I will discuss the actual incident at length later, once I have reviewed the GoPro video about a hundred times. The short version: On Friday 10.01.2014 Kim and I left for work aboard the GS 1150. About a kilo from home, doing about 60km/h I touched the front brake and we went down heavily...

I see the manual calls for a GL5 spec gear-oil for the gearbox and final drive. I have a fully synthetic GL4 spec 60-85W gear oil I use on the race cars. Will this be ok to use on the 1150GS? Also, I notice that the manual states that the final drive level is at the bottom of the thread for...

Howzit all. I have been happily riding Gertrude. BUT, I noticed an oil leak on the top of the left telescopic fork. I have read the ADVRIDER how to on oil seal replacement. Seems not a monster issue. My problem is, I do not find the part numbers to order form BMW. Welsh, have you got the...

I am visiting the mother city next week. I want to hire a bike for a day, to drive the scenic routes with SWAMBO. Preferably a GS or VStromm, but I am open to any other makes. Is there any vendors/rental agents on the board with a sensible price on a day's hire? Regards Riaan

Ok, after the spill nearly 3 months ago, I have survived a motorcar accident and various other issues. The result is that I have not fixed Gertrude, in fact, I have done NOTHING to her, except leave her standing with the battery on a smart charger for the period. Now she will not run decently...

Hi, I need someone to collect the lefthand tappet cover from ACME. I will collect from you on Saturday morning. I'll pay a case of beers of your choice for your effort. Help please!  :biggrin:

After clipping my handlebar this vehicle sped off. If overtook me I was slowing down to turn into the parking space, look at the rear view mirror on the Mazda, the actual piece that impacted on the handlebar. 3rd clipping incident in 3 weeks. Pta is getting dangerous.

>:( >:( >:( About a fortnight ago I laid Getrude down on the left hand side. The plastic covering on the left cylinder broke. I noticed this morning that there is an oil leak! It appear the tappet cover on the left hand jug is leaking. I am traumatised. New gasket the fix? Let's hear the...

Coming back from the doctor this morning, Gertrude decided to share my physical state, and got tired and laid down for a rest. I now need a gear change pedal. Who makes a nice adjustable one for the 1150, alternatively, where can I source a pedal? Thanks for the help. Regards Riaan
