Oil filter removal
Hi all,
hope someone can help?
I have recently bought a R1100s (2004) and want to change the oil but need to know what size tool I need to buy to remove the filter.
Looked online and several different sizes ( 68mm / 76mm etc) are mentioned.
Which size do I need please?
Thanks

Re: Shock advice
After picking up my R1100s today and getting it home I put it on the centre stand and found that the back wheel was still actually on the ground and couldn't be rotated.

Hi all, picked up my 2004 R1100s today.
I actually owned a R1200S some years ago so am a bit familiar with the type anyway.
No doubt I will have some questions to ask you all soon, so I hope you have some good answers for me!
BTW, I'm in Lincolnshire.
Regards to you all.
