SOURCE: clutch issue

If the plates look burned... you need to replace them. Have you been slipping your clutch overmuch? Or clutching up into wheelies? You'll also need to check to see if the metal discs have either warped or blued. [i]Best done by a shop.[/b]

SOURCE: need to install GPS on BMW 1150 GS...have no manual...how, please

Check your owners manual for location of your fuse box. You will probably find connections for accessories. If not make sure you use an inline fuse on the positive connection and then ground to the frame.....Good Luck and Nice Bike!

SOURCE: wont help in correct way to check oil level for

The bike has to be both level and vertical when you check it - not on the stand.
It would be good if someone can hold the bike up for you when you remove the filler plug (which has the oil level dipstick attached) from the cover on right side of engine, Or you may be able to sit on it , holding it upright with your legs and reach down with right hand to remove the filler cap/dipstick.
Wipe off the stick and re-insert it and screw it all way closed, then immediately remove it again. The oil level shoud be between the two indicator marks on the flat tip at the very end.
If bike is on side-stand you will see nothing on the stick - bike must be upright,
If you need to add any oil, use a funnel and put the oil in through the same hole the cap/dipstick goes into. Best use a motorcycle specific oil - automobile oils contain additives that can cause clutch performance issues
Good Luck!

SOURCE: need to no why my bike dosnt have an oil site glass

Check your owners manual it will tell you how many cc or oz. to add also on alot of the dirt bikes it is stamped how much to add, buy a measuring cup and add per. bike specs.

If you don't have a manual do a internet search for your make and year of bike for how much oil to add.

There is not a dipstick or a sight glass on most dirt bikes...Hope this helps

HI, JUST REPLACED BIG END BEARING. NOW HAVE A OIL LEAK WHICH IS COMING FROM HIGH UP, COULD EVEN BE COMING FROM AIR FILTER BOX. WAHT COULD THGIS BE, SUSPECT OIL SEAL DAMAGED AND GETTING BACK PRESSURE????

Do you know exactly where the oil is coming from? Remember the bike has an oil cooler at the front, could you have disturbed a connection and its running down the pipe?
The GS1150 is a real pain to get the precise oil level, and you may have just over filled it. As you are sitting on the bike, on the right hand side below the airbox (near the rear shouck adjuster), is a little plug. Just twist it to undo it and see if any oil comes out here.
My method to check the oil level on flat ground: After a run park the bike on its side stand for 10 mins. Place on the centre stand, wait anoth 5-10 mins, then check the oil level in the sight glass.

How do you check the oil level on the 2002 BMW r1150r?

Just put the bike up on it's stand or use the kick stand with a shim under to get the bike near level.
Then use a flash light and look low on the left side of the engine and you'll
see a small round flush mounted glass the size of a nickle.
The oil should appear dark on the bottom half of that sight glass and if properly filled said level will cut right through the middle of the glass...if the dark line is below half then add oil!

Changing oil

The drain plug for your bike should be on the botom of the engine. Remove the plug and drain the oil. Remove the oil filter and repalce it with a fresf one. Fill the new oil until the site glass or dip stick is at the correct marked level.
