Guys, I sold off my R1100S three years ago when my daughter was born. But now I'm nudging up against the big five-oh and the itch to get an R1200S is scratching. There are a lot on sale at the moment (August 2021). I count 5 on eBay and 6 on Autotrader, with a couple common to both sites. Since I'm ...

Great weekend guys, I had a blast and a top ride home through the back roads to London. It was ace to have a chance to talk about these bikes I dig so much and play catch-up with you guys.

After the past couple of months that sounds too good to be true, so I'll bring my rain suit anyhow!

Just booked my room at Baskerville Hall, looking forward to meeting you all and seeing a bit more of Wales.

It could have been that the previous owner just set them incorrectly. Stranger things have happened. All I know is that I couldn't get even a 0.1mm feeler in the exhaust valves before I adjusted them. I came at maintaining the R1100S after doing extensive work on an old R80 over the past year or so....

I finally got around to setting the valve clearances on my R1100S this morning. I bought the bike a year ago and have fixed quite a few things but never got around to the valves. It turns out that the clearances were too tight so I had been experiencing rough running at low RPM, exhaust pops on down...

Given the variety and popularity of bike culture nowadays it would make sense to have it as a regular part of the show. They're building into a solid team and Chris Harris has done a few bike reviews in the past. It'd also give them something new to separate them from the Clarkson-era team. Actually...

Hopefully you didn't knock your head at all, but I'd always get a new helmet after any sort of accident, just to be safe.

I replaced my rusty/leaking fork seals a couple of months ago. It's an easy procedure that should take you no more than an hour or so. There's a good step-by-step guide from the 1150gs here: http://www.everydayriding.org/2011/05/r1150gs-fork-seal-and-dust-seal.html More or less the same on the R1100...

Yep, I instantly wanted one as soon as I saw it but then I figured; hang on a second, the R1200S is just as pretty.

And it's a third of the price for one in top condition.

Hi Folks, I've been lurking on this list for a few months now and I thought I'd introduce myself. I've just finished a spate of work on my recently-acquired bike. Some of which was necessary, like replacing a knackered starter motor, leaky fork seals and bleeding the clutch circuit. And some of it w...

I think your best bet is to look on ebay.de, there seems to be a lot of aftermarket and original Ventildeckelschutzen varying in price from 100 to 150 euro. Just run a search for R1100S Motorradteile. Many sellers will post to the UK for a reasonable fee.
