FIRST_BEEMER Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I have the Bosch number for the spark plugs but cant get a cross over number. The Bosch # is YR5LDE. I hate Bosch plugs and would like to get some NGK`s or Denso`s. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment
cranezilla Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 You got problems with your sparkplugs already???? So much for reliability. Or is it that you just taking it apart to see what makes it run. German spark plugs in a German bike, who would have ever thought????? Link to comment
FIRST_BEEMER Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 17K and my fuel milage has dropped to 42.3 (from 46.1) I added techron but no help. Has a misfire (random)at idle so Plugs are next. Link to comment
cranezilla Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Damn, I ran the same plugs in my Harley for 100,000 miles no problem, so much for BMW's better reliability! Link to comment

FIRST_BEEMER Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hmmmmm. Started checking a few items. Bike on center stand and the back wheel drags. Checked the brake pads and found the inside pad gone. Down to the metal. I think I may have found it. 17K and rear brakes gone Oh well, we shall see. Link to comment

FIRST_BEEMER Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 Must be an H-D thing. I just ignored him and did`t tell him I`m still riding it. Just a fuel mileage issue. Found out my rear brake have worn out in 4 months at 17K. He probable has never had this happen on is H-D either. Link to comment

FIRST_BEEMER Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Replaced the burnt out rear brake pads that cause the dragging condition. my mileage came back up to 45.2 now I can reset the new rear tire pressure back up to 38 to 40 from 36 and see if it comes back to 46.1 Link to comment
