Diagnosing No Crank No Start After Sitting For 5 Years 

Thank you for making these videos so the layman can understand.

I like Miss Blue Eyes in the intro to yer garage....

Great job explaining this. I may have sold my R1100S and I may be at the point where I am helping my friends do their engine swaps due to mechanical failure. But it is never a bad idea to be reminded of the basics because that is where the foundation is.

Fortunately these 1150's are robust, I knew pretty much the moment the video started that a battery and some fresh fuel would get this there. I've got the same year, color combo Rockster as this one but man it kills me that I can't get replacement stickers for it. You should do a clutch fluid replacement/bleed video on this same model. It's an oddly difficult system to bleed because of the remove bleed line and unique adapter setup. I think it would be a super useful video and probably a good idea to be done on a 5 year sitting bike.

I had visions of a mouse being shot out of the exhaust whilst screaming 'Armegedon' as it flew past. I would like to have seen the negative terminal removed first when removing the battery but aside from that it's a great explanatory video for bikes that have been sat for a while. 👍

The Rockster! Have one here in the garage. 😃. See on this one the ABS is already removed. Mine is still working, keep fingers crossed.

Good explanations of troubleshooting common problems. Good investigative reporting by the lady. :)

Great video ! Super useful, thank you

I have the same bike. 2004 BMW R1150R Rockster

Awesome info!!

Great job...

Thanks!

I would have checked the airbox before turning it over. It's likely mice have something stashed, hopfully they didn't chew through the filter.

Sick video and fresh fade my dude. Keep up the good content ❤

The TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) is also involved in various throttling problems.

great video so much good information here

👋

Thank you

Good video. After 5y I would drain the old fuel

Nice! Tks!

You should charge extra for a cleaning fee for sweeping up all of the mouse poop that just blew across your garage

Good afternoon, congratulations on your videos. I have a r1100rt from 2000. I would like to ask for your opinion on how I could place/attach a stick for an insta 360 x3 camera. The bike has neither a radio nor an opening for an antenna. Thanks.

Hi guy, Would you know if the rear shock absorber of the 1150r will fit on a 1100rt?

I have a 2001 r 1150R- That was sitting for an unknown number of years. Had several electrical problems. New loom installed.. Still requiring right hand switch. Recently took it to a long 4000 miles trip IN eastern Canada. Contemplating purchasing the bike for around $3500 US. A few items concern me. It Knock knock knocks on idling. (Donbt know if Cam chain tensioner is the issue), between 2nd and third changing gears sometimes sounds like clinging ustensils.Fuek dekivery seems to be hesitating aroung 3500 to 4000RPM. Suspect unbablanced throttle body. which i know how to adjust but would not know which line to replace. What long term problems can i anticipate. Is it worth the purchasing price. Bike now has 75000KM.Would you run this bike at your shop thru a "purchase assesment"?

Did I miss the link to the best replacement battery to buy?

I hate mice!😡

I can NOT find the link to the battery you talk about in your vidio

you didnt mention injector over fuelling like on mu r1100rs

Started to watch it, but that stupid intro to your “gurage’ made me turn it off.
