I had injector upgrades from tills.de and iridium spark plugs. gabe the bike an enormous increase in response and gave it the “oomph” you would expect from an 1100cc boxer. mind you it still had most of its torque in the lower rpm’s, but if you want topend power you’d have to go for an inline 4 😉

@@Oldmanmotoring I hear ya... exactly why I sold my BMW and purchased the Godzilla of all bikes, a 05' Suzuki GSXR 1000. 164 hp, 370 pounds dry and a crazy top speed that I only touched once of 209 mph. THAT bike was a monster

It is a ram mount ball. Used to mount accesoires (gps, phone, camera)

@Oldmanmotoring Ah yes! Many thanks for the info! Last owner must have had lots of accessories as there was another on the front brake reservoir too!

🤣 not really.. I actually rode the bike a few times and sold it to somebody that was looking for a running one

both are correct….

Was ook richting Middenmeer ;)

Think they changed it in 1998, together with the improved gearbox. Same cluster as the r1150r

fuel consumption is roughly 23km per liter without highway. as for the 1150.. abs is a pain on that but it comes with a 6 speed gearbox. 1200 has an entirely different engine. liquid cooled. 1100 and 1150 are oilheads and from what I hear more bulletproof

@@Oldmanmotoring Thank you for your answer. 1200 is not the same until 2015? it seems to me that liquid cooling is for those models from 2015. i was interested to know models like yours if they have overheating problems

@@tony8236 You are correct I see. liquid cooled came in 2014. These bikes generally have no overheating issues, they can get really warm though in city traffic at low speeds and standing still. BMW tells you not to rev the engine at the traffic lights. But the worst I have seen happen is discolouring on the exhaust pipes and some molten plastics around the exhaust on some RT and RS models

@@Oldmanmotoring is there anything I need to pay particular attention to? I always believe that those who have this bike treat it in the right way even with 70k or 80k

Motor is onderin veel krachtiger, en loopt veel soepeler naar hogere toerentallen. Je kan dus veel relaxter rustig rijden en als je wilt ook veel feller optrekken

Had a 1996 GSXR-750 before. In comparison: this is way more relaxed to drive. It does not have the incredible topspeed of a GSXR, and the power distribution is different. You can drive this boxer 2 cilinder powerfull on torque at low revs. With the GSXR you have to go to the end of the rev counter to experience it's true power. So more laid back driving, and more raw power at the bottom. It is not as smooth as a japanese 4 cilinder though. And I placed upgraded injectors(Bosch EV-14 instead of EV-1), that did increase the smoothness of the bike. But all in all, you should take one for a test drive and see for yourself ;)

The issue at the start: BMW has an issue where the ABS computer gets turned on before you start the engine. The starter motor can pull the voltage down so it "crashes" and the two red abs lights alternate. After a restart the two lights blinked simultaneously which means all OK. Not a case of bad battery, happens sometimes even with a new one ;)

If the bike runs you could try and use Forté MotoPower1&2. And see how it runs after running the tank empty. It cleans the fuel system.. If it doesn't work you need to remove the carbs and clean them either ultrasonic of with carb cleaner. This will also require a carbtuning though..

Basically I serviced it, put on some fresh rubber, cleaned it up, drove it around for 1,5 years and now I'm going to sell it and look for another project bike :)
