r1150gs

Hello! Due to now owning a 2004 GSA r1150 I have an R1150GS that could do with a new home. (two very similar near identical bikes are just a tad indulgent) Nicknamed Bertha, she took me to women in moto in 2024, and has been my daily commute bike for 2 and a bit seasons. Multiple trips to the...

A pair of used - but tested and serviceable - stick coils to fit a twinspark R1150GS (and likely other variants)... I will also throw in three lower stick coils, which have seen better days, but which, when I put them in the drawer, had been tested and worked. They are a freebie... How...

R1150GS Fuel Pressure Regulator and distributor - used but serviceable... BMW Part Nos 13 53 7 664 857 & 13 53 1 465 106 How about £35 inc mainland, non-highland GB P&P, elsewhere at cost?

OK, I'm getting towards the end of the supply of spare parts (just kidding - there is no end :D) I had these on the Adv, until I came across a set of new ones, which I had repainted and fitted them to the bike. Paint is a little flaky in places, but mostly hidden by the bolts and any...

EBC Brake Pads for R1150GS (not for those with Tokiko[sp?] callipers - mostly those with servo brakes IIRC) - set for both front discs. Sealed in their packaging - how about £40 inc GB delivery, elsewhere at cost?

Next up - a main beam headlamp, which will fit an Adventure as well as an 1150 GS Lite... Unused... How about £60, including GB p&p - elsewhere at cost?

My recent acquisition of a 2003 1150gs has turned into a bit of a dilemma. I’m not sure if it’s me, or the bike but one way or another, my chances of pulling away without stalling seem to be little better than 50/50. Warm or not, I seem incapable of finding and riding the ‘bite point’ of the...

I have been learning how to use Freecad and decided to design and make my own coil puller. I printed it last night and it fits a treat…very snug. I am now wondering what else I could make ?… I was thinking about a new gadget mount for the dash. Any ideas ?.

So, as the title says, my R1150gs won't cold start unless I twist the throttle a few times. I've bought the bike some months ago as is basically. The previous owner removed the cat, fitted a Y pipe from black widow. It has a remus exhaust and a tehclusion unit fitted to it. After the bike...

Hi, I have just bought my first GS a 2000 R1150 and it has developed a fault with the abs. Upon turning on the ignition I get the top abs light solidly illuminated then upon starting they begin to flash alternately, if the abs button is pressed at this point the bottom abs light illuminates...

Hi there, I have a 2003 R1150GS which has recently been restored - the frame has been powder coated and so the VIN is no longer visible. Before i start chipping away at the powder coat to reveal the VIN (needed for an MOT) I need to know exactly where it is on the RHS of the frame. Can someone...

Hi All, I've tried to look for this topic but couldn't find anything that specific. I need to replace the front pads to my R1150GS Adventure final edition (m.y. 2005). At the moment the options are: Brembo EBC DPS Ferodo Platinum I know that BMW use Brembo as a standard but I've heard that...

Hi all, I am hoping you might be able to steer me in the right direction for diagnosing a fault I have on my '02 R1150GS. Whilst in neutral the neutral bulb lights up but not very brightly and flickers slightly. At the same time the battery symbol appears to flicker slightly? Has anyone...

Hi all, I pulled up to park the GS for the night, turned the ignition off and this whirring noise continued. I tried to find where it was coming from and it looks like some metal contraption under the tank (I'm very new to the GS). It continued whirring until I disconnected the battery. Oh and...

Hi all, I know this has been all over the internet, yet I need to clarify on one thing before I mess another sight glass up. From your experience - did you use any lubricant / sealant to help the sight glass slip / remain sealed on an older bike (namely R1150GS in this case)? Most sources say...

Hey all, I put together some photos of a bodge I did for making a rear rack for less than £10. I used a chopping board (You heard me), 8 x M5 bolts (Can/will go bigger) 4 x flat plate brackets (Can/will also go bigger), 8 x washers and some gaffatape. It feels very sturdy and I drilled some...

Hey all. I open my petrol cap today after some heavy rain and it had a lot of water that ran in to the tank as soon as I opened it. I think I've read there's a water drain hose that might be blocked or something or does it need a new seal on the cap? Completely clueless so go easy on me :)

Hey there, I've spoken to a German man who makes aluminium panniers for roughly £240 for the pair, great price! Before buying these, I'm just wondering if anyone has seen any other panniers for a similar price or even cheaper?

Hey all, I'm looking at buying some aluminium panniers for my R1150GS from someone in Germany, he has 3 sizes: 32 Litre (24x49x37cm) 36 Litre (27x49x37cm) 41 Litre (29,5x49x37cm) I'm looking to use the GS every day but have some large trips planned (2 of us on the bike) like Africa and Large...

Hi all, would someone be able to tell me the dimension from the foot of the centre stand to the stand axle for a 2002 R1150GS? The previous owner lowered the bike and shortened the centre stand. I plan to extend it again and discard the 2x4 block that is currently keeping my rear wheel off...

Hi folks, I hope in in the right forum - please direct me if not... I've got a 2000 R1150GS (ABS) that is not currently running and that I need to move on. It starts, but there are some fairly serious sounds from the gearbox, the final drive bearing needs replacing and the brakes are likely...

It looks like BMW only sells the whole unit (expensive). My buttons are fairly worn, the logos are half visible. Perhaps it's possible to order just the buttons (for example headlight button)?
