Re: Another HP2 Sport anomaly

I have my answer. A borescope into the tank showed the fuel level switch to be the same as the 9T Pure. A small ‘can’ with a ball float inside it. It seems the bottom of the can is at the same level as the fuel when reserve is reached and the ball sits on the bottom of the can closing a circuit ...

Re: Another HP2 Sport anomaly

Hey Phil. All that used to happen until it didn’t. I put the GS911 on it and it indicated a heater element failure which would normally indicate a strip but i think that is just a generic term for whatever the fuel sensor is. SLParry the whole reason for this post is what type of fuel sensor does it ...

Re: Another HP2 Sport anomaly

As in the post the RealOEM parts fiche show nothing for the HP2 Sport and neither does the dealers parts fiche. I am using the tripmeter, filling up every 250 km. I would’ve expected more from what was their premium model at the time.

Another HP2 Sport anomaly

Hello all. On a ride recently I was aware that i was low on fuel so kept an eye out for the reserve light to come on. Well it didn’t and the engine cut out 1 km from the nearest fuel station. A long push for a 71 year old. From then on I named it Jacinda after the New Zealand prime minister who ...

Re: Lubing driveshaft splines HP2 Sport

‘Under no circumstances fit a snap ring on the rear coupling, I imagine the hp2 is the same’

There is a snap ring on both ends of the drive shaft on the HP2 Sport

Re: Lubing driveshaft splines HP2 Sport

Yes there was a snap ring on the gearbox end. I know the actual shaft for the 12S is specific and cannot be interchanged with any other as when I snapped mine, it cost £545 from BMW as they cannot be found second hand and are different from the GS or 11S according to them.

Hey Humbug. It looks ...

Re: Lubing driveshaft splines HP2 Sport

I have done a couple of gs1200 shaft lubes, and the HP2 can’t be that different. They pop off the snap rings easily the trick to reassemble is to cut a 3 foot (1 meter) length of dexion / angle iron and slide the shaft up into position, this keeps the joints in line simples!
Good luck

Re: Lubing driveshaft splines HP2 Sport

I know you can on the 1200s having done it myself. Its not the easiest as it seems to only come out and go back in to the swingarm housing on the third Friday of a blood moon when the villagers are dancing around the willow by the stream. Took me an hour to get it back in, everything needs to line ...

Lubing driveshaft splines HP2 Sport

Greeetings from the antipodes
I want to lube the the splines on the HP2 Sport driveshaft but the Reprom dvd talks about removing the swingarm. When i did my k12R i only needed to tilt the final drive down and remove the driveshaft from the rear. I see that the HP2 driveshaft has a snap ring on each ...

Re: Ceramic coating.

I had the exhaust on my HP2 Sport done. The standard brown stainless finish is not in keeping with the rest of the bike. I couldn’t get the whole of the inside done because of the flapper valve. The finish is excellent. The header pipes go slightly milky from the heat but not so noticeable. I ...

Re: Lithium Battery - Long Term Experience Anyone?

I have just replaced the yuasa ytx12 with an antigravity small case lithium battery. The size difference is obvious as is the weight - 4.18 kg for the yuasa. 1 kg for the antigravity. The power is the big thing. 230CCA for the yuasa - 360CCA for the antigravity. It turns my hp2 sport over very ...
