Re: 04 R1100S low fuel light not working?

Not had this problem, but first bike I've had without a fuel gauge. With lockdown & work I've not had much chance to get some miles on the bike, so still learning the tank range. Is 150mls a good "marker" to think about refueling. Also, what is the emergency range once the light does c...

Thanks Pete,

Do you happen to know if the R11S is a pot type Neutral or a switch type (yes I know a pot is sort of a switch :wink: )

R1100S - Intermitent Neutral Light

My R11S has an intermitent Neutral light issue. Although physcally in Neutral (defo not in gear) there is no light. Have had a read, and need to check some bits... - dash lamp - loom to dash I did some searching, and it appears that these bikes have a potentiometer rather than a switch for neutral p...

R11S Rear Indicators - Alternatives

Wondering if anyone has found a good replacement for the 11S rear indicators. Last owner of might clipped (and broke) the LHS stem. It's temp fixed at the moment, and I can always get a new stem, but wondering if anyone has found alternative light units that sit closer to the frame, but are still in...

Re: dmmsta's R11S

So on the pillion seat cowl.

Turns out my friend had it, just hadn't found it in "the loft".

He dropped it round today, so looks like I have the fabled hen's tooth :)

Re: Hi from Lincolnshire

Don’t be tempted to leave the engine idling in your garden - these Boxer twins are renowned for overheating one exhaust port/header in that situation. That is why BMW recommend start - idle for a few seconds - ride off slowly, letting engine heat up before giving it some welly. This sort of info is...

Re: Hi from Lincolnshire

Hi there!! I’ve yet to ride my R11S... world/family/Corona scare. I’ve had her running over in the garden and having never ridden a boxer before (in any guise) totally wasn’t expecting lateral throw of the engine when you blip the throttle. Waiting for a clear day to get out on the tarmac for a few ...

I'm looking for the same, not seen anything I like yet. I may try a piece of Ventureshield, good quality and virtually invisible. Oooh Was thinking of similar as an alternative, but didn’t know what to look for. That stuff looks good. £13 on Amazon for 600x100mm piece isn’t too scary. Guess it can ...

R11S Tank Pad

Can anyone suggest a low key tank pad.

Have had a quick look on the eBoo and there isn’t much choice outside of garish Ninja style stuff.

There’s a couple of BC originals but they are £££
