BMW R 1150 RT (ABS - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Your question is not complete.I can answer the questions if they are complete.I have previous experience replacing Hall Effect Sensor.(Source:https://www.apogeeweb.net/electron/what-is-a-hall-effect-sensor.html) I bought the new unit from beemer boneyard. I initially ordered the wrong part number and the plug was incompatible. I got really good service on getting the right one ordered and returning the wrong one for credit. It's not the lowest cost option but worked well for me. I also built my own timing light for about $12 of radio shack parts. Worked like a champ.

85k is nothing for these engines, it the rest of the cycle parts that may have issues: Check the clutch does not slip. check the gearbox selects all gears. A little whine is ok,, but no jumping out of gear etc check around the final drive,, shaft tunnel up to the back of the gearbox for oil leaks. a good test ride is essential, and I would recommend joining one of the numerous BMW forums for more help. Ignore the other answer.

check your brake light switches at the bar and the foot pedal

Any 12V trickle charger should do it http://www.autozone.com/test-scan-and-specialty-tools/battery-charger If the battery does not hold a charge, and the bike's own charger is OK, you need a new battery. .

manuals for the r1150rt overview

Take your car to an exhaust specialist and they will tell you what your options are for repair work. Ultimately though the steel system will show more and more corrosion of the type you are seeing now and you are going to have to replace it anyway. Once up on a lift for closer inspection, there also may well be more holes you have not found yet. If you intend to keep the car for some years you should replace it.

ABS - Anti-Lock Braking System And EBD -Electronic Brake-force Distribution In Plain English Posted by: Rohit Khurana March 1, 2010 in Automobile Technology AdvertisementCarBlogIndia Technology Articles , today I will talk of one of the most talked about safety feature called the ABS And EBD. Again I will try to keep the language simple and human understandable (which non-engineers can also make some sense of), pun intended. What Is ABS ? Anti-Lock braking System system or ABS is a safety system which prevents the wheels on a moving vehicle from locking up(or cease while rotating) while braking. ABS offers improved vehicle control over dry and especially slippery surfaces by reducing the braking distance but it can also increase the braking distance in case of loose surfaces like snow, gravel etc. Ever since the invention of ABS, it has been evolving and the recent systems not only prevent wheel locking but also electronically control the front-to-rear brake bias, which we know as Electronic brake force system, Traction control system, Emergency brake assist or Electronic stability control. Working Of ABS Advertisement When brakes are applied under heavy loads, the braking pressure becomes high resulting in heavy braking or in other words locking up of wheels. The ABS overcomes this by monitoring the wheel speed and releases pressure on each wheel brake lines in the form of rapid pulses switching between different brake lines. which prevent locking-up. Preventing lock-up under heavy braking helps the driver in maintaining control over the vehicle. In modern ABS an individual brake line is provided for each of the four wheel enabling different braking pressures for different road surfaces of the wheels. What Is EBD ? Electronic brake- force distribution system also called as Electronic brake-force limitation is an automobile brake technology that automatically varies the amount of force applied to each of a vehicle's brakes, based on road conditions, speed, loading, etc. EBD system is always coupled with anti-lock brake-force system. The most important function of EBD is to maintain vehicular control with variation in braking pressure applied to each wheel in order to maximize stopping power. Generally most of the weight of all vehicles is carried by the front end so the EBD ensures less braking pressure at the rear end to avoid skidding. But in some EBD's the distribution of braking pressure at the rear end is more initially when the brakes are applied before the effects of weight transfer comes into play. Working of EBD system An EBD is a subsystem of the abs and its function is to control the effective adhesion utilization by the rear wheels. this definition has been given by SAE in its technical paper no. #920646. Advertisement The Antilock brake force system releases pressure in different brake lines at the time of heavy braking to prevent locking-up. The action comes in the form of releasing pressure from the braking circuit when it detects extreme and rapid deceleration in any of the four wheels in order to make sure that the driver maintains control over the steering during panic or emergency braking. For example if the wheels of a vehicle are on snow as well as asphalt then in case of emergency braking the ABS will monitor the speeds and eventually the EBD system will release less pressure for wheels on snow and more pressure for wheels on asphalt to prevent wheel lock-up

Abs light comes on when the abs system fails not when the pads need replacing Could be a sensor on one of the hubs or a ring is corroded away and the rotation is not registering Pump could be faulty only way to find out is to get the fault codes read

maybe an air leak from vacuum side on motor breather pipe

new plugs, new filter, set the valve clearances and then balance the throttle bodies.

No it does not

Nothing to align.

Disconnect and reconnect the battery.

battery on its way out

R1150RT is not water cooled. there is no coolant in this bike.

One quart bottle is more than enough. You fill it to till it starts to come out the fill hole.

price of the motor. replace it yourself. It is straight forward.

set the valve clearances and then balance the throttle bodies
