Engine does not start abs light is on
ABS system normally checks battery voltage when starting and if voltage is low it will give a warning light.
This may indicate your battery is discharged or faulty.

How do i change speedometer light bulb on my 94 r
Not wanting to be facetious but a workshop manual or googling how to do it would help as it is a long process. Every vehicle that I have owned I still have a workshop manual for as it the second thing I purchase after purchasing the vehicle (I still have a manual for my long gone 1946 AJS 350cc )

Hi my gs1150 2002 got a light vibration it feels
Had the same problem with my R80RT 1986 model .Suggest to drain the gearbox oil ,if it looks like metal flake paint then definitely bearings . In my case it was the output shaft rear bearing , I replaced all the bearings (except the main bearing on the input shaft because to replace this one requires replacing the shaft as well many dollars) my bike had done 275k K/m (170k miles)

Where is the visible ID No on F800ST
I am not directly familiar with the F800 but with my F650 the vin number is located in two places. 1. on the center post of the steering column toward the top but its hard too see. 2, on a frame cross piece under the seat. The engine number is located on the tor rear of the engine I believe, its often covered with dirt from the chain.

2000 BMW R1200 with rear clicking noise
- check for a stone in the thread of the tyre.
- Next check, When you hear the noise pull in the clutch and check if there is any change in the noise, this will indicate if the engine or gear box is involved.

Engine stall at idle
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.

Dossen want to bleed
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.

Computer reset bmw
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.
