Finally got a chance to check it and there is a minute bit of play only just felt when you grab the wheel top and bottom, nothing if you grab at the sides (3 o'clock and 9 o'clock)

So if this is tightening the bearing, what and where am I tightening? Never fiddled with a shaft drive bike before!!

I'm not sure on the play as its sat on its wheels at present, I'll have to get it on the lift and check, maybe tomorrows job as it looks like I can't go to the trial I was gonna do!

anyone give me a little info on this, had an advisory on the MOT that there is a little play in the rear wheel bearing, now it seems that there isn't a bearing in the wheel in the traditional sense?? Haven't had a look at it yet but just trying to get a feel for whats involved in advance.

Thanks

It tends to be when you shut the throttle off and decelerate for quite a while then just as you turn into a corner it pops and pushes on just a little. It does have a y piece exhaust I think but std cans? Not sure what else its had done.

My r1100s has an annoying little cough, when your on the overrun it tends to pop a little very now and again, this is highly annoying in slow speed corners as it tends to push the bike on a little, as though its giving a little squirt of fuel in??
Any suggestions?

I just bought and htc desire for my sone for £89 at argos on pay as you go, I've had a few htc phones and never had any bother with them, good 8mp camera, you can put a memory card in it so can't ate as many pics as you want and it has sat nav built I which is pretty good as farms I've seen ...

Cheers Steve,

I'll do it tonight (if the garden and beer don't shout to loud then it'll get left until sunday!)

On the same subject mine doesn't have abs but how do I know if it did originally? (It's a 98 1100s)

What do you guys use for general carrying on a R1100S, I was surprised to find theres no storage even for a lock or waterproofs etc (should have realised with an underseat zorst! doh)

Don't really want panniers or top box so does anyone use a tank bag, tail pack or any other clever suggestions ...

Sorted, once I found the fuse box, I was looking in the relay holders and couldn't see any fuses - doh!

Thanks all!

I was going to have a look at it last night, cleaned the wheels and engine etc from being out in the rain the other day but......

The sun was shining it was 20deg so I went for a ride up Hartside instead

Ta very much

Horn doesn't work so I'm assuming the fuse but how the hell do you get into the fuse box? I can undo the lid but no way will it lift enough to remove the fuse, is it a fairing off ob to rectify? Also they don't look like normal fuses in there, do I need special fuses?

Nooby questions I know ...

Cheers for that, I shall venture into the garage tonight and begin by tooting my horn!!

Thats after I've washed my trials bike and kit from last nights entertainment and supposing the sun isn't shining still and I decide to go for a ride instead

On my newly purchased R1100s of the finest 98 vintage, the clock doesn't work.
Now considering my last bike had no clock and to be honest the entire clock pod only worked when it felt like it and it never bothered me (it was a trail bike though) I find having a clock fitted but inoperative slightly ...
