Well this is an R1100S one, and possibly covers all the over R1100x series
Turns out mine at 52k miles had eaten it's brushes:
So, does that mean they are designed to wear out within 50k miles, or was mine shite
not impressed with BMW quality, it's a myth!

I thought that it would have been an induction motor.
50K thats crap I think that I would post it to Bracknell as a present and ask for comments.

You're lucky it ain't a Honda one from a carb bike. Most go at 25K miles!
