on the most part I'd say yes very few have the money or resources to properly mod their bikes, beyond the basic bolt ons I know as mine took me a quite few months to rebuild from scratch, but also depends what you actually want from your bike some ppl like stock, (go figure) things like the hot cam ...

Ah but thats a moot point really my bikes have all clocked good miles with regular maintenance eg
04 R1150R clocked 115,000
2000 R850R 135,000
R100RS JPS 275,000

aspell carbon do one just have to ask them as the late model r1100s is the same one

lighter than the wunderlich version

No offence but you do own your own tools right?

as that one is a very simple repair, takes less time than replacing the clutch

you might try looking up the BMW recalls to see if that had ever been listed

Cudos on a very clean bike, =D> The wunderlich bars are more for aesthetics than real crunchs, however look good with the spots mounted last set I saw had to be removed from inside the rocker covers & off the valves, mind you that accident was @ 50mph as for the plastic BMW units good if you dro...

if you want a nice increase you could try the hot cam system I find it to be very crisp when I grab a hand full of throttle

And loud enough when you blip the throttle in london traffic

Thanks Jas,

pretty happy so far

will post the updates as soon as I finish ........the boxercup instruments are better on the eyes @ night

BMW have always had a bit of a problem with their shocks longevity..... [-o< std routine was to keep the springs & replace the shock with Koni's Still these days you can get a fairly cost effective deal from hagon since they bought Koni @ least these are rebuildable & have a 2 year warranty

argh!
should have mentioned that ohlins have discontinued the rear Rockster shock...
so unless old stock can be found or a friendly dealer will make one from spares....

as an alternative there's always wilbers (U.T.Y really)

God I luv meetings

Hiya riceburner

Another little dose of missdirection from the factory

BTW try looking in the Ohlins ref manual that'll give you the info you need

hi riceburner, having fun yet again I see [-X If you have the rockster sport shock ...then, yes, difference ......the roadster (R1150R) std has a shorter length shock.....so handy if your having trouble reaching the ground :smt046 you can however use the Ohlins BM350 on the front & BM349 on the ...

By special edition I'm assuming you mean the Edition 80?

some of these have a slighty shorter paralever arm making them a touch unstable @ higher speed

easiest trick is to use the adjustable arm .....& adjust to your own comfort zone

the rockster front end is actually the R1100S front end

Just a thought I'd post my little changeover

ok firstly the main reason for the cut off switch is so that you can reset, the abs controller, secondly so that you can go off road :badgrin: with the evo system you MUST reset the unit if the bike is dropped..... ](*,) the main problem with the evo unit is its power consumption Vs the totally crap...

firstly the BMW batteries are junk! :smt013 I've known politicians to hold a promise longer :badgrin: the oddyssey PC680 is a very good alternative, especially if you have ABS but as for your starting problem, the main thing to check is the starting solenoid, the starter motor is just that, a motor,...

you can have a spare .....here across the pond I find they're cheap enough to pick up, about £100 up

or you can wire in the ABS cut out switch, just in case either the pump fails
or you just want to go off the beaten track

Sorry to hear about your little misadventure #-o , good to see you made it through without many permanent reminders =D> amazed you got off the bike though....I always ride'em into the ground, bike parts are cheaper than body parts :-k BTW: there is a chap over here making a copy of the stanton head ...

ok tweetyoost ...... I use either the Brisk LGS design plugs or NGKR racing plugs because of electrode positioning as I want direct fire of spark (high efficienty), not electrode spark distortion (less efficient) I'll assume you replace all 4 plugs at the same time? as most ppl tend to forget the lo...
