Re: Wanted - R12S alternator

Were there any extras like VAT and import duty added on that you had to pay prior to taking delivery? Just be interesting to know in advance what the final price is before ordering. There are a lot of tempting bits over there. Yes, I paid $53 for the alternator and with import duty and shipping it ...

Alternator-tive way of removing my alternator

Hi everyone, I just changed the alternator on my R12S and I wanted to share my learning. I had read and seen prior to this that people were saying you had to remove the alternator by removing the front shock and bringing it out that way, however, I found with a bit of careful manoeuvring, I could ge...

Re: R1200S Starter motor replacement

I went to run the bike this morning it's turning over much better and firing, but it's still not starting, I will have to check to see if I have a bad connection! All good fun!

Re: R1200S Starter motor replacement

Well, the new unit arrived and it was about 5 cm longer, but it fitted okay. The job was as straightforward as other members suggested it would be :-) Just charging the battery ready for lift off tomorrow, hopefully. Thanks again for everyone's help and advice :D

Re: R1200S Starter motor replacement

Thanks for all of the advice, guys. I saw the Ebay unit, but it looked a bit tired, I did read that some people had fitted an RT unit on an S, I thought there would be more info on the web, but there wasn't. I have found an Arrowhead SVA0005 unit from the US that fits an R1200S 2006, mine is on a 20...

Re: Bike turning over slowly

I got the bike to run by jumping it from my car, it took a few turns to fire it up, but it runs fine now, i guess Ieft it too long between runs, lesson learned!

Re: Bike turning over slowly

Thanks, fortunately the bike has stayed dry, so that’s not an issue. I’m thinking either poor earthing or degraded starter motor, maybe.

Bike turning over slowly

Hi, Looking for so help! I tried turning over my R1200S after a few weeks of non-activity and the engine turned over really slowly, then stopped, after trying to charge it, with no success, I changed the battery, but still not luck. It turns over slightly better, but not enough to fire up the engine...
