I replaced the old oil
hi, if the oil level was correct before you changed it, then there is no reason that with the correct amount of oil the level will not show, some times the specific amount required doesnot fill up the engine as it was previously, if you still have the old oil measure the exact amount that came out of the engine, this should clear up any problem you are having, also tilt the machine slightly towards you if the oil is slightly low as you tilt the bike you should see it apeare in the glass, if is to high tilt it the opposit way and the level will go down check again

Where can I free download
Sorry, don't know of any site for a "free" service manual download.
Try Ebay for illegal copies or purchase a factory manual from a BMW dealer.
Clymer also publishes a manual for the K1 for about $50.

Poping
Does this happen when closing the throttle? Under hard accelleration? All the time?
Could be 'decelleration popping' as they jetted bikes pretty lean back then. It is common. Honda XL's and XR's came with a wire mesh screen in the airfilter to keep sparks from this lighting the airfilter on fire. If it only happens with closed or partly closed throttle, it is no big deal.

Bike stops after 30 minutes of riding.
Sounds like your bike is running to rich.
Check your exhaust pipe for carbon build up,which would indicate mixture is to rich, as it heats up it only gets richer.
Hope this helps.

Back firing
Sounds like you might need a valve adjustment. Just for giggles, also check to see that there aren't any air leaks before or after the cyl.

Does anyone know when easy fix for a 2000 BMW K 1200 LT clutch slipping
holy mackerel bat man, its a ****** motor cycle not a car
wow that is so wrong. moved YAH"
the mc and slave can seize up,. for sure using wrong fluids in the mC, or bad luck.
make sure the MC and slave work perfectly first
then if do the clutch main is bad.
a real shop check all that out first then a new clutch pack installed or he finds springs n the cage all wrecked.
what you find i can not guess, but do know how.
mc
this too can seize up
as can any slave made car or bike or scooter
Fuse for the headlights for 650 BMW 2008
On a 2008 BMW 650i, the fuse for the headlights is located in the fuse box under the hood. The specific fuse you need is Fuse #61, which is a 20-amp fuse located in the third row of fuses from the top.
To access the fuse box, open the hood and locate the black plastic cover on the right side of the engine bay. There should be a diagram on the underside of the cover showing the layout of the fuses. Once you've found the correct fuse, you can use a fuse puller or a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove it from the fuse box.
It's always a good idea to check the owner's manual for your specific vehicle to get the most accurate and up-to-date information on the location and function of the various fuses.
Looking for diagnostic help, 2009 R1200RT stalls while driving and in idle immediately after starting. Brand new battery, new clutch. Feels and sounds a little rougher than usual.
moved you out of cars, to BMW Motorcycles.
if I leave light (heads/) for 30minutes, (engine running or not)>??????
if engine not running, that is NORMAL
if engine is running that is AbNORMAL and Alt/Gen is dead or fuse blown..
no you have 2 problems?, GEN dead and injection issues.
the cold start fails for these reasons of vast.
1: bad fuel, filters clogged.
2:injectors partially clogged from #1
3: spark weak , plugs bad.
4: or starting it with a DEAD Gen that caused battery to be weak.
but weak batteries do not crank or crank slow. so.... or does barely and now spark is weak with 11v battery weak?
TBO, fix bad gen first so it says running and not flat line the poor battery. I guess you have battery charger and using it to hide the bad GEN sure.
in all cases for sure this , check all fuse for sure all related to GEN.
