No, not like that you pervert. Has anyone tried push starting an 1100 or 1150? :eek7: Did it work? :thumleft:

after 13 years of abuse and negligence my servo brakes stopped. or didn't as the case may be :P. so i've bypassed it and am sort of satisfied with the results. now i would like to tidy up the plumbing. a local hydraulic place weren't keen because of the pipe size. anybody know where i can get...

I've been unable to ride my 1150ADV for just over a year and now the brake servo pump has shit the bed. >:( I've bled it and got the back brake to work but the front only operates on residual braking. I also cleaned the filters but it still refuses to pump to the front calipers. Guess who is...

like it sez in the title. i want a ringdingding. i would like to spend about R10k. what would you esteemed gentlemen recommend?  ??? its just to stuff around with and not racing and such (probably). i have changed pistons and rings on other bikes and i almost blew myself up decoking a kx125...

there is an ad on the radio from the douche bags that we should have a 3 second following distance. by my maths that is 1200 cars per hour (1 car every 3 seconds = 20 cars per minute = 1200 cars per hour) on their glorious document justifying the upgrades they claim that between allandale and...

This thread is inspired by the competition thread for doffest question except i have some legit questions that i can't find answers to. all answers real and not so real will be appreciated. 1. how will the camera's work in the traditional afternoon thunderstorms? i can't even see the car in...

hello everybody, long time no see. work has been busy for me so the spiders spend more time on the bike than i do. anyways, my father dropped his xt500 on his knee at the toy run and broke it*, after getting help push starting it**. he has a brace and is up and around***. he reckons by next...

i took ms. toucan's 180 bajaj for a spin last week and really enjoyed it. the thread about the ktm200 made me think that perhaps my next bike should be something small and fun. the only down side i can think of is the top speed on long journeys. what do you think?

this is the on the outside under the plastic cover. the metal plate is connected to the middle pin on the connector and this is grounded to the cylinder heads when connected. one side of the HV coil should be connected to this pin as well. i don't think the rust had anything to do with my failure.

my adv has been misbehaving under acceleration, miss firing, backfiring and being a bitch. looks like its the stick coils, both of them. does anybody have a twinspark nearby (east rand) that i can swap coils with to test with. shouldn't take more than 10min. (that's what i tell her as well >:D)

hello everybody, my throttle pulleys wobble when the bike is idling. i assume this is because either the shaft is worn or the throttle body (probably throttle body because its the more expensive fix). anybody fixed this before without replacing the throttle bodies? i'm thinking about reaming it...

i have a 1200gs water pump :P belt that i bought 2 years ago but never fitted. this morning i discovered that my 1150 uses a different belt. so if any one wants an unused power band :P for the 1200gs let me know. part no. 12-31-7-681-841 ps. it also fits 1150gs from 2004

hello everybody, i might need to go to mutare for business next week and figured i'd make a bike trip of it. i plan to stay in masvingo for one night, can anybody recommend a place? if all goes well i would like to come back via mozambique. who has done this leg and where did you stay? i might...

and so it came to pass that the uj bearings on my drive shaft failed (2004 1150adv 113000km). if you feel a slight rumble or grinding sensation in your footpegs and there is no play in your rear wheel then remove your brake caliper and turn the wheel by hand. you will feel the resitance of the...

hello everybody, my bike (2004 1150gs adv) has developed its first problem after 114000km. i have been feeling a grinding sensation in the foot pegs for about a week. at first i thought it was the rear brake pads been down to the metal but after changing them the problem was still there. this...

hello everybody, its been awhile since my last post because i've been drunk, er, i mean busy. i'm planning to change my fuel filter on the 1150 and know that bmw uses a crimp type clamp on the hoses. would i need a special tool to put new ones on? couldn't i just use a normal hose clamp...

the anakee on the back is on its last 1000km and has a slow puncture. i mostly ride tar with some gravel (less than 5%). what tyre do the masses recommend? ??? ??? ???

Hello everybody, i am not dead yet. my screen has started to look old, with cracks and scratches etc. i can get the hi-rise screen from silverline for R1000, or a bmw one for R2324 (thats a lot of beer tokens) what other screens are out there? any recommendations? i might just leave it and...

they don't seem popular, maybe because of the styling. but on paper it should be a nice bike. have you ridden a tdm900? do you know anyone who has?

i'm itching to get a new bike, i dunno why. maybe its spring or something. but to do that i'll have to sell my bike. its a 2004 model with 105000km. hepco becker crash bars and luggage racks. kaoko throttle lock. there is nothing wrong with it, not even an oil leak. i really don't know if i want...
