Bike was running fine 2002 R 1150 r low miles and just quit like it ran out of gas. Checked fuel pump fuse and is fine. The bike makes a whining sound when key is turned on, the bike turns over fine, does not start and makes a whining sound when starter button is released

SOURCE: CLUTCH IS SLIPPING. THE BIKE HAS 14k MILES AND

buy a clutch kit should have clutch plates and friction plates make sure it has the right oil as well wrong oil will burn the clutch plates up

SOURCE: New bike 2008 k1200 gt starting problem when hot

if the clutch burned out it must have been slipping causing lots of heat inside were the starter is, all this extra heat wont do the starter any good at all, if its still under warrantee get it back as its clearly not right,, not at all like bmw?

Testimonial: "Thanks this is what I suspected"

SOURCE: 1994 r1100gs wont run rode fine went for lunch

Check to see if the throttle bodies still have the little rubber nipple covers on the underside of the body also the LH TB has a controller on it could be that?
Ask on UKGSER site, the user called Steptoe is hot on and owns a GS shop in London.
Stick with the bike as they really are fantastic.

SOURCE: I HAVE JUST CHANGED THE BATTERY ON MY 2000 BMW GS

open the throttle at different range a couple of time and after start the bike

SOURCE: 1985 R80 40,000 miles. Battery has difficulty

If battery and starter are as good as you say try checking the condition of the earth leads from battery to frame and any earths from engine/starter motor to frame. A corroded terminal could be the problem. Also check pos wire from battery to starter and any relay in system.

Testimonial: "changed oil as advised. Bike started first time this morning. Very grateful. Many thanks."
