Re: Intermittent Misfire/Stumble

I did replace the coils and the spark plugs at the same time. Plugs didn't look bad, typical bottom plugs had some signs of maybe burning oil but non were really beyond normal wear. Based on my previous experience I'm sure it was a coil. Have put about 6000 miles on bike since the issue this summer ...

Re: 2009 R1200RT clutch slipping.

I don't recall, but they may have been included in the kit from EuroMotoelectrics if I replaced them.

Re: 2009 R1200RT clutch slipping.

Replaced clutch on my 2010 RT with 95,000 miles on it about 2 years ago. Sourced clutch kit from Euro Motoelectrics our of Denver. Was not an extremely technical job, just time consuming with a lot of disassembly required. It would have taken me a weekend, 2-3 days to do, but was a bot longer as I ...

Intermittent Misfire/Stumble

Have a 2010 R1200RT with about 127,000 miles on it. Rode it down to a Rally in Lebanon, TN this past week and it seemed to be running a bit rough at highway speeds after riding about 250 miles from Chicago area to Indy, at first I thought maybe just road surface. Once down in area I noted that the ...

Front brake pads once, rear brake pads 3x times.
Timing chain tensioner due to oil leak.
Fuel pump under warranty due to recall.
Coils around 70,000 miles.

Other than that pretty much just ...

Re: Metzler Roadtec 01 SE tires

I'm on my 6th set of Metzeler Roadtec 01 tires on my 2010. Overall have been great tires, typically get 11,000-13,000 miles out of them before I replace them and probably could have pushed them further if I wanted or didn't have a long trip upcoming. Originally these were the Roadtec 01 HWM but now ...

Re: Cam head left cam tensioner replacement issue

I forget if the spring was longer, but I understood it to be an upgrade from OEM with a stronger spring.

"The original left hand tensioner has a very weak spring and has no check valve so it loses hydraulic pressure when you turn the ...

Re: Cam head left cam tensioner replacement issue

For my 2010 RT I purchased and installed a replacement from EuroMotoelectrics that was supposed to be an updated cam tensioner.

Re: 2009 R1200RT-P Clutch Replacement

Bought mine at Euro Motoelectrics, but it looks like they may be out of stock

As I recall, Haynes manual shows how to make one that is supposed to work.

Re: 2009 R1200RT-P Clutch Replacement

7300 miles and it needs a clutch?? Someone had to be really hard on it or some other failure. I did mine at 95,300 miles. I've heard of others over 100,000 miles and not replacing yet.

Not a huge technical job, PIA, time consuming and requires a lot of removal of panels, parts and connections. Be ...

Re: Camhead - Gear Linkage Lubrication

I've lubricated mine regularly since the weld on the shifter mount cracked with 150 miles to get home from a 1000 mile IBA ride. Bike had about 80K on it at the time it happened. It became hard to get back into 1st gear but I made it home. Can't be sure if it was due to lack of lubrication or ...
