ABS-ectomy

ABS-ectomy. So as I have now got the dreaded ABS problem, which can't be fixed apparently, I am considering having the system taken out. I have seen that lots of owners have already done this but I have a question :- When you went back to your insurers to declare a 'modification', what reaction did ...

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. Also it felt a little like the bike was going to roll forward off the stand too!! I got a thin piece of board and placed it under ...

Newbie

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.
