On my 03 BMW K1200GT the license plate light has stopped working, Fuse is Good, Light itself tests ok, continuity good, any suggestions where to start?

You can bridge a connection between two of the fuses and it will work. Not ideal though Mine is currently bridged I think it's fuses 1 & 2, the 4AMPs on the left hand side This was only a workaround in order to get a Roadworthy

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2004 BMW K1200LT AND IT WAS FINE NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I START IT AFTER STANDING FOR A WHILE IT SMOKES AND IT SMELLS LIKE OIL AND THEN IT STOPS SMOKING AFTER A KM OR SO

I suspect oil not draining from the rocker covers and instead draining into the cylinders. Could give it an oil change which should clear blockages.

How to remove the carburetor on a bmw cs 650 motorcycle

I suggest you buy a repair manual. Good to have for all details when you take on repair work on your bike. There should be several available, for example https://www.emanualonline.com/Motorbikes/BMW/F-Series/F650/F650CS/BMW-F650-CS-repair-manual.html

How do i fix the speedo cable, and the rear light on my BMW 2003 model K 1200 GT

What is wrong with these parts? The speedo cable should be changed for a new one if broken. Is the bulb in the rear light OK? If so, is there any electricity in the socket? If not, any fuse blown? If not, you have to trace the cable to se if any connection is loose.

I have a bmw r1150gs 2000 that when I travel over

hi, it seems tha you have a blocked breather on you engine, as pressure builds up it has to come of somewhere. Check all breathers coming out of the engine.Also depending upon molleage your pistons may be letting some compression go to the engine "belly"
Good luck

Find the broken wire and replace it. You have identified the problem, fix it yourself or take it to a mechanic to have them fix it.

My engine is misfiring at 5000rpm on my gs 1150

If it works fine at lower rpm, it could be a fuel delivery issue. Is there a valve that lets gas out the tank? There's likely a screen that keeps tank crud from getting into the valve assembly and going into your carbs. Empty the tank, remove the valve, clean the screen.

Hi I have a BMW 2005 model 1200 GS. On attempt to start it seems to cut-out. Feedback is that the starter electronic fuse trips. Is there a known cause / solution out there please?

You have not provided much information to go on so it is very hard to give you any help with this. For example, what do you mean by cut out. Do you mean the engine stops or the starter motor stops. Any where have you got the feedback from. Is it a diagnostic from the computer, or just a well meaning friend who is guessing. Questions like this are very hard to answer without a lot of information so you need to try and give as much as possible. If it is a fuse that is tripping, then this will be due to an overload on the circuit and you will need to get someone with the skills to diagnose it, such as a BMW repairer.
