2001 BMW R 1100 R - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Sounds like your carb needs a service. Or maybe there is an air leak which is making the mixture too lean at idle, especially when the engine is hot. Also check that engine is not overheating.

Blue or black smoke?Blue oil burning (rings, valves)Black to rich, injector rails leaking, choke setting air intake blockage.

Hi there.im guessing your still battling with a rear brake caliper..1st un bolt and take the capliper off the disc ..2nd.fill the resevior up with fluid.leave the cap off the filler pot..3rd pump the rear brake pedal a couple times till u see the pistons in the caliper move..place a bit of wood in between the brake pads to stop the pistons popping out..pump the lever again a few times..if the caliper is to tight to put back on the disc..(not recommended) but prize the pistons appart with a spanner or flat screw driver..place the caliper bk on.top up fluid .put the filler cap bk on...to proper bleed it.take a 8 or 10 mill spanner.place on the caliper bleed nipple..place a rubber tube to the nipple.and drop the end into a jam jar with a little bit of fluid in .dip the end of the rubber tube into the fluid. .push down on the brake lever.and hold it down..whilst holding down the lever.undo the bleed nipple.u should see air bubbles come out in the jar of fluid..tighten the nipple back up.and release the lever..repeat the process till all theair bubbles have gone..fill up the filler pot.

OPPOSITE IN THEORY NOT GETING ENOUGH GAS HENCE YOU BLOWING SMOKE BURNING OIL AND UNLESS 2 STROKE YEAH YOU HAVE A BAD CARB FUEL INJECTOR AND POSSIABLE ENGINE DAMAGE YOU CAN CHECK BY SEEING OIL/GAS MIX OFF EXHAUST

Ignition foot sphere.

Check start solenoid for proper operation.

Check Battery. Then fuses.

Depending on the model you may need to take it to a dealer, as some need a special tool to reset the computer and it is very expensive.

What year and model?

What year and model is your BMW. How old is your battery? More than 3-4 years, may be past best by date. Once running does it keep running? Lights work? Does the battery go dead if the bike sits for a week or more? Was it kept charged when not in use? If yes to the above, battery is probably no good. If the alternator isn't working, your bike would run for a while after charging your battery, then die. The lights should become brighter as the rev's are increased from idle.

Since it is 45 minutes out of the shop - take it back and get them to take a look at it. If you mess with it - they will tell you all bets are off.

You can obtain a BMW Repair Manual from this site that should show you how to repair this and any other problems you may have.http://www.slideshare.net/xx0127/bmw-r-1150-rt-r1150rt-repair-manualpdf

Bad choke or stuck butterfly valve in carb. Could also be in need of valve adjustment. The only other reason would be because the timing is off.

Some common causes and potential solutions: Air/Vacuum Leak: If your Harley develops a vacuum leak in its air intake system, the air-fuel mixture becomes too rich. This can cause frequent stall outs, especially after the bike warms up. Vacuum leaks often occur due to dried-out or cracked air intake boots, faulty gaskets, or worn-out carburetor seals. When air escapes from the intake system, the fuel fills the empty space in the combustion chamber, altering the air/fuel ratio and negatively impacting combustion. Severe vacuum leaks can lead to excess fuel flowing into the exhaust system, causing backfiring and stalling while riding. Clogged Fuel Tank Filter/Fuel Injectors: A blocked fuel tank filter (due to coagulated fuel, moisture, dirt, or corrosion) impairs fuel flow, resulting in a lean air/fuel ratio. On fuel-injected Harleys, clogged fuel injectors produce similar symptoms. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and inspecting fuel filters, helps prevent these issues. Faulty Cam Chain Tensioner: A malfunctioning cam chain tensioner can affect engine timing and cause stalling. Regular checks and replacements are essential to avoid this problem. Faulty Cam Position Sensor: The cam position sensor plays a crucial role in ignition timing. If it malfunctions, it can lead to stalling and backfiring. Clogged Air Cleaner: A dirty air cleaner restricts airflow, affecting combustion efficiency. Regularly clean or replace the air filter to prevent this issue. Ignition System Failure: Faulty ignition components (such as spark plugs, ignition coils, or wires) can cause misfires, backfires, and stalling. Inspect and maintain these parts regularly. Compromised Battery Terminal Connection: Poor battery connections can disrupt electrical flow, affecting the ignition system. Ensure clean and secure battery terminals. Remember that diagnosing and addressing these issues may require professional assistance. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can keep your Fat Boy running smoothly on the road.

I can't find a diagram. The small potentiometer on the control board likely serves as an adjustable component to fine-tune specific parameters. Here are some possibilities: Voltage Regulation: The potentiometer might control the output voltage. By adjusting it, you can set the desired charging voltage for different battery types (e.g., 6V or 12V). Current Limit Adjustment: It could be used to set the maximum charging current. Adjusting the potentiometer allows you to limit the charging current based on the battery's capacity and condition. Sensitivity or Threshold: Some potentiometers act as sensitivity controls. For example, it might adjust the threshold at which the charger switches between charging and maintenance modes. Setting the Potentiometer: Without the specific circuit diagram or detailed information about your charger, I recommend the following general steps: Observe the Potentiometer: Identify the potentiometer on the control board. Note its position and any markings (if present). Consult the User Manual: Check the user manual or operating instructions. It might provide guidance on adjusting the potentiometer. Trial and Error: If no specific instructions are available, start with the potentiometer set to its mid-position. Gradually adjust it while monitoring the charger's behavior (e.g., charging current, voltage). Observe how the charger responds to changes in the potentiometer setting. Fine-tune it based on your specific battery type and desired charging characteristics. Remember that precise adjustments depend on the charger's design and the battery you're charging.

The lift cables on a 1993 model 2693 Hilo camper are 30 feet,2 3/4 inches long and fit the standard height lift of 11 feet 8 inches high to the top of the overhead. The lift uses two cables. According to a Hi- Lo camper travel trailer forum, cable replacement is basically the same on all years and models, with the main difference being the length of the cables from model to model. You can use a cable cut chart to find what cable length you need for your camper, and you'll need to know your year, model name, and box (body) length: Lift cables typically wear out after three to five years, so it's important to replace them as needed and keep them regularly maintained.
