I took out the brass screws and used carb cleaner to remove the gunk. Then after taking the bike for a spin to get things warmed up I used a twin vacuum gauge to get a nice idle. Idles perfectly now. Thanks for the replies.

Interesting views guys. I must have to admit that I have been looking for possible part ex's. A gs in good nick is going to be a little too expensive. What a shame when I really love the looks and performance of the r1100s! Mmm, we'll see.

Hi Mike, how's it going? Where I am so far - a guy from the USA on my facebook said he has bar backs for sale. I have asked how much to ship to the UK but he hasn't replied yet. I have looked at the LSL bar risers. On the ad for them it mentions ABS, which my bike isn't. I have emailed them to ask i...

Hi nab, should have mentioned it's a R1100s but I think you've sussed that out.

I will check for vacuum plugs when I get into the garage in the morning. I thought the big brass screws might have something to do with the idle. So if needs be I can get the carbs balanced which should sort the idle out.

And then decrease the lever as the bike warms up lowering the revs. But at idling I find I have to have the lever cracked a little bit otherwise the ...

Hi. Are there any bar backs out there for sale please?

Hi all. I have a non ABS R1100s and have raised the bars above the yoke. I had to lengthen and modify the brake hose. I am now considering bar backs to try and make riding more comfortable. My question is, would I need to make any more alterations for them to fit? Lengthen any more cables etc?

Hi all, excellent website. I bought a R1100s a few months back and to be honest I am hanging on by my fingertips! Same old story, riding position! I didn't think the R1100s was too extreme when it came to riding position. But longer rides, which I love doing, result in numb hands, aching forearms an...
