What mileage on it by the way? If you thought you'd be ok on your own low-miler I hate to say that mine has only 23,800 on the clock. I bought it only 1000 miles ago and in all my years of having much less expensive bikes than a Beemer this was the first one to cost me anything significant. Typical...

Having posted last night I've had the time to find that lots of people have documented this issue so, though it'd still be helpful to me to have a diagnostic checklist to identify my actual problem, here's a link to another (older) thread for anyone else looking for help on this issue. http://www.b...

Went out for a ride this afternoon and was aware of a developing noise from under the seat which sounded like I was running over a lot of gravel. Never had any issues before, the bike is well treated and ridden very gently all the time. Before I got home the noise was getting steadily worse, I slow...

Thanks for that info. The plain bush with grease nipple would seem to have been a possible way for BMW to have designed the paralever bearing in the first place (1998 R80/100 GS) but presumably they had good reason to use the needle roller solution. Perhaps the needle rollers are longer lasting, ma...

Two questions for you, fellas. I've a slight creak on compression of the rear suspension - a bit like a creaky wooden chair (and a dry bottom pivot bolt on the rear suspension of a 5/7 series car). It's at the back of the paralever. Is it likely to be one or both of the two large pivot pins at the ...

Yes - I've seen that my injectors are exactly the same as another R11 so, unless the code number on the side is used on 'bigger' injectors as well, I'm pretty sure they are standard. And many thanks for the links, interesting. The link below is a clip that shows the machine-gun like ticking from th...

I've got an R1100S with a de-cat pipe and which apparently had different ("bigger") fuel injectors fitted and also this brass body/adjusting screw (below) on the RH throttle body. I've not seen this on other bikes. [img] [img]http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x476/ajdroberts/Cars%20Bikes...

Yes, I remember that - but that also, just before you started cranking, you'd turn off the lights again (having got those juices in the battery going) and so maximise the wattage available to the starter and coils. I still think one country - probably our cousins over the ocean - was responsible fo...

It's not in the least bit important but I'd be interested to know . . . . Was it legislation somewhere, or what, that made BMW omit the R1100s combination light switch next to the twistgrip - somewhere around 2001? You know, the one that makes it necessary to use the starter motor when there's alre...

There's nothing new under the sun. I come here as a new owner but it appears this rattling discs/worn bobbins/washers/wheels (disc posts) issue has been on the go for years. I have to say that these posts, and those from quite a long time ago, have been illuminating for several reasons. When buying...

Bruno - whose R11s I bought - wrote direct to me in case I felt I had a problem with it. This is an abridged version of the very helpful advice he gave. "The discs have elongated mounting slots. The arrangement consists of the mounting bolt, a top-hat bobbin, a sprung wave washer, the disc its...

Thanks for the replies so far. Bruno might be on here soon so I won't steal his thunder but the first R11 I looked at, a good few weeks ago now, had disks that clonked noticeably, even at standstill, when you applied the brake and depressed the front forks. They moved freely in the fingers and just...

A couple of months ago I looked at an 1100s from around 1999 that had floating front discs, ie they rattled and moved a little on their fixing screws. I think this is called 'fully floating'. I didn't look to see if the back disc was the same. But I've just realised that mine has 'fixed' discs - no...
