Selden Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Looking forward to it. If anybody needs rear brake pads, I have 2 sets of Carbone Lorraine rear pads for an R1100RT. Based on reports on this forum about rapid wear, I ordered two sets last year, only to discover that I have lots and lots of pad left on the rear. $30/set ($27.95 + shipping on Beemer Boneyard). http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-15102260216258_2068_251558778 Link to comment
Huzband Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'll be sure to bring my own axe this time. Link to comment
Chris K Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Danny, I actually have a hammer now but it may not be as precise for setting the endplay as the axe! Link to comment
randy Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 for anyone interested I will demo a R1100RT starter cleaning process. On occassions a starter can get dirty and a squeling sound emits from the starter. I will have a starter already removed from a bike, and will do the basic cleaning and a small rebuild. As always Chris K puts on a great tech day, and there is usually enough knowledge base there to rebuild a bike. So come on by, learn and make some new friends. Link to comment

I will need a 12K service on the R12RT by then. Sounds like a great excuse to head to the ATL. Shawn Link to comment
Highway41 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Put me on the probably list; hopefully I'll have the RT back by then. Can assist with fluid changes, valve adj, TB sync, and bbq consumption. Bill Link to comment

Moto-Moto Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I am a newbie to BMW's and Dave Hunt just invited me to RSVP. I just purchased a 2004 RT and would love to learn how to work on it and meet other BMW owners at the same time. I will coordinate with Dave, but plan on attending. What tools, etc should I bring? I would like to look at oil and fluids, any recommendations? Thanks Matt Link to comment
Kinsley Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi Chris, Fisherman (Gil) may come to, but we will most likely show up early and leave within an hour or so if we can work out a trip to the coast for the weekend that we're currently working on. Link to comment
