MY BMW 1150GS
The first thing i would do is get the fuel pump out and clean the fine gause . Next fit a new fuel filter. If that does not fix it check fuel pressure
I noticed that the brake
You are correct...you bleed the system from a valve similar to what you find on a brake system, located at the slave cylinder on the bellhousing.However, just like your brakes, the system is not supposed to loose fluid, therefore you need to find the leak and correct it or you will be right back where you started in a couple of hours or days. check master, fluid line and slave for leaks. Good luck with it.
Died, Bat light on, oil light on, otherwize no
Your battery is most likely dead. What voltage do you get at the battery as you attempt to start the bike? If it drops to less than 10v, you need to replace the battery. If you still get 12v at the battery, do you get that at the starter as well? If not, could be a loose connection either at the battery (ground cable too) or broken wire in the harness somewhere.
Oil
I wouldn't sweat it unless clutch is slipping. . Never heard of semi synthetic .
Suspension clunking
most likely to be caused by your headstock bearings being slightly loose/worn . a blown fork seal wouldnt cause a knock .
hope this is of help to you
kind regards

My 2003 1200 gt warning
Rene - the manual recommends having the break system checked immediately if the reservoir drops below MIN. It has happened to me once were the warning light was staying on and after carefully riding it down the street in my subdivision the warning light went away.
However if it does not go out after the self diagnostic - there is a possibility the ABS is not functioning and you are only left with a RESIDUAL BRAKING FUNCTION which helps slow the bike but not safe for riding. I would take it to the dealer if the warning stays on and for safety sake -- have it towed.
Checking oil level in K1200GT
Check when engine is at operating temp; after turning off the engine wait at least five minutes for the oil to drain back into the sump. Make sure the cycle is upright and the surface is level.READ OFF THE OIL LEVEL AT THE SIGHT GLASS - MAX upper edge of ring mark, MIN lower edge of ring mark (the difference is approx. 0.1 gal / 0.5 liters. To add, remove oil filler plug and pour using a funnel.
Plug wire
Did you buy the copper core (Low Ohms) or the carbon core (High ohms).
The higher ohms will give you a higher voltage spark, assuming your coil can deliver it.
Oil issue
Was that with, or without, the filter change? It's possible that you are checking the spec for not having changed the filter. A fresh filter will require more oil.
My $.02 - If it's in the marks, it's good to go.

Replace Kill Switch 1150 GS
The kill switch on a BMW R1150GS motorcycle is designed to immediately shut off the engine in case of an emergency or accident. If you need to replace the kill switch on your R1150GS, you can follow these general steps:
- Disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical hazards.
- Remove the handlebar grip on the side where the kill switch is located. You can do this by loosening the screws that hold it in place and gently pulling it off.
- Locate the kill switch module on the handlebar and disconnect the wiring harness from the switch. Depending on the year and model of your R1150GS, you may need to remove the switch from the module by using a screwdriver or Allen wrench to remove any screws or bolts that hold it in place.
- Install the new kill switch by reversing the steps used to remove the old one. Connect the wiring harness to the switch and secure the switch to the handlebar or switch module using screws or bolts.
- Test the new kill switch to make sure it works properly by reconnecting the battery and starting the engine.
It is important to note that these steps may vary depending on the specific year and model of your R1150GS. If you are unsure about how to replace the kill switch or are not comfortable doing so yourself, it is recommended that you take your motorcycle to a professional mechanic or BMW dealership for assistance.
