Bought from auction with flat batt, very appreciated for this vid!!!
Right on!
I am going to remove the tank now to change the sheaths that is all broke l, with this tutorial it will be easier, thanks very professionally done
Thank you, the best video on youtube 👍
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.
Great video with clear instructions- helped me with my first battery change. I couldn't help but notice that you used a battery charge socket (not oem location) on the left rear fairing - there is already one on the same side just above your left foot peg. Why didn't you use that? Was this new accessory socket installed for the pillion use?
Habit. I've always used that socket. Seems easy to use. The previous owner must have had it installed there.
Demonstrated in a very understandable way, does something speak against K&N air filters from your point of view?
I believe K&N are good filters. I've not had experience with them but have heard good reports on K&N.
thanks for the video
You're welcome
very helpful thanks alot
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot for your video, it helps me very well
You are welcome!
Thank's!
Hi, thanks for the excellent video. Can you please give me info about what filter and battery ( OEM numbers) TIA
I don't recall the part numbers off hand but you can get good information at beemerboneyard.com. That's where I purchase most of my parts for maintenance. Thanks for watching.
Thx for the great video. I'm fairly new to the R1150R and it really helped me change my battery, K&N filter & upgrade the chip.. If you're interested in upgrading the chip I've an extra John Gemi stage 9 chip(for stock bikes) I can send you. John sent me two from across the pond. Not a super hard install & def an increase in performance..
Glad you liked the video. I've not heard about the chip upgrade. I'll have to do some research.
Thanks for the vid!
But, um, no dielectric grease on the battery terminals?
Good point. Thanks for posting the comment.
Was hat sich BMW nur dabei gedacht!
Didn't credit my 2009 video, but whatever. Production tools and camera tech has certainly improved. You need to pump up the jam for one of your R1150R bikes, there's better overall performance hidden in there. Will drop by when I'm riding in the area to discuss.
Thank you! The best video on this topic! 🎉❤
Many Thanks.
Can you charge the battery beforehand?
Yes. That way you're ready to ride once you've got the battery mounted.
As I go through my new to me r1150r I want to renew the air filter. Do I need to remove the gas tank. Thanks again.

You can get to the air filter without removing the gas tank. One option is to remove the nuts that attach the plastic side panels to the back of the tank then remove the big bolt on the right side of the bike that holds the tank to the frame. This way you can lift the back of the tank up to get a little more room to replace the filter. You don't have to detach the oil coolers at the front of the tank or disconnect the fuel lines.
@@WheelStories I will give it a go. Thank you again. Tom Latos
Done! Thanks again.
Cool deal. Congrats.
I saw a 3-strand wire on the plus terminal.
Number one : Battery + connection
Second : Battery charging socket connection
Third : ?
I have two sets of running lights on the forks to provide better visibility.
Thank you for your answer.
I have 2002 R1150R.
Did you change the fuel pump?
I don't know when the fuel pump will be replaced, so I'm curious.
I did not replace the fuel pump. The fuel filter is probably due for replacement. I may do that over the winter.
Great video, quick question, by removing the tank, do you have access to the voltage regulator and the alternator connection? I need to run some tests because I am having some battery problems, thanks.
I believe so. Try doing some google searches on the subject. You will likely find some posts about troubleshooting alternator and voltage regulator problems on some of the BMW motorcycle message boards and web sites. You will need to remove the tank and other components underneath to get to the alternator is my understanding.
Hi Wheels, I was headed your way after many delays due to family and health. However waited too long and winter has arrived. Maybe next summer I will make it to the NW.
As always, I enjoy your videos. Take care and stay safe
Better luck next summer. Thanks for watching.
Thanks
Welcome
I'll bet this is one thing you like better about your HD Roadster! The battery and air filter are about a 10 minute job on that bike. Good video. 👍
True. The tank on the BMW is requires too many removal steps. Bit of a pain. Thanks for watching.
I just purchased a 2004 R1150r wo ABS. Do you have any suggestions on bleeding the hydraulic clutch. The OEM clutch breather valve does not accept a brake fluid drain hose (no nipple!). Thanks
To be honest I have my local BMW shop replace my clutch fluid. Without the nipple the job looks like a hassle. I've heard of owners installing a nipple at the drain hose, to make the job easier, but I don't know the specifics on how they install the nipple. You might find some videos or message boards that address the subject. Good luck with the new bike.
@@WheelStories Thanks for the input. Keep those Wheel Stories coming.
@@WheelStories You can buy the nipple at the local dealership. From nipple installment(which is pretty straightforward) it’s like bleeding brakes.
Great video because I have to replace the battery also. So thank you!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching Wheel Stories.
thank you for sharing! The battery on my R1150R died on Wed.
Glad to share the video. Thanks for watching.
Clear and concise. You made a somewhat difficult job easier to do.
I try to make my How To videos straight forward and easy to understand. Good to hear that you like the video.
