Common Problems & Faults Encounterd Or Known With Bmw R1150gs
I m trying to Prep my R1150GS (2003/10000 miles on clock) for an overland trip to Asia. Can anyone tell me some of the common problems/faults they have found, or things that have broke while riding this bike. I know on the whole they are generally reliable, trying to find out some of the more specific issues people have encountered. Maybe I can then avoid these beforehand with some good prep work, if at all possible.
I m changing & replacing the normal stuff, brakes, fluids, lights, battery, shock so on. I’m interested in any electrical problems encountered. Also in people’s thoughts on if? and how do I reinforce the frame, (without blowing out the ABS LWR style).
Otherwise just any general and random thought on bike prep for this kind of trip would be appreciated.
Cheers
Paul
