Hey Ben. Awesome video and love your old 1150 tractor 😁 Leave the colour alone is my conservative opinion, whichever is why maybe you should be bold and change it 😊

Thanks for mentioning my video. Really appreciate it! 🙂

Did you say "Lekker" at 3:29?

I've heard in removing the ABS, some bikes need to be rewired, and some don't. I have an early model 2002, which I think is the same as yours. In watching your video, it looks like you simply attached the loop bypass brake line and cut the wires to the ABS pump. Was that it or did you need to do something else that wasn't recorded? Thanks

Hi Ben, when you removed the abs, did you have to do a modification to the ABS light?

@MaartenSchilperoort35 3 years ago

no keep it original

Awesome video. I just picked up a 2001 R1150GS and I'm probably going to have to replace the rear tire at the end of this year. What are you currently running on the back tire?

Hi Ben! Great video 🔥
Could you or someone here to advise how to understand whether the end drive needs to be adjusted. When I shake the rear wheel I feel like a little click, but when it is lifted, I can’t get it clicking when moving.
