Measuring air box pressure?

Has anybody done this? I was quite surprised the first time I cleaned the (K&N stock replacement) air filter. It’s about the same size as on my B&S lawnmower! So I bought 5 m of transparent hose and rigged up a quick test. I first tried methanol (to get a better reading) and whacked the thro...

[ No! The r1200s is not an option! I think it’s ugly Don't worry about insulting all us R 1200S owners on here who love our bikes. :roll: :shock: :cry: Sorry I thought about that before writing, but then again: beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? And if it’s of any consolation: an r1200s w...

The "Q425A special model", 916 colour scheme (I still think this is two fingers to Ducati with the 11S having underseat pipes), along with sports suspension and "wide tires" denotes a mamola BCR :) Oh and as far as I'm aware I thought the lazer pipes were OEM on the red white an...

Tapio, try entering your VIN number here it'll help identify if your bike's a BCR http://www.bmwarchiv.de/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html I "may" be wrong, but wasn't the option of the Lazer exhaust (and chip) something that the dealers would fit at the first service if the customer wanted it? T...

The R1100S was never made with the 1150 motor and to the best of my knowledge no other lump will fit But with a bit of work anything could be done Are you sure about this? I just looked at the engine block, and it’s pressure cast. That mold is not cheap to manufacture so it would be stupid for BMW ...

Hi, 1--Only later BCRs had the Lazer end cans but all retained the cat. 3-- Not a straightforward job--Crankcase needs boring out and then if you use BMW pistons you drop the compression ratio, Specialist pistons all increase the £££/$$$. Step forward and buy a 1200s if you really want a significan...

Exhaust system on BCR? And a few more Q’s

Hi, y’all! New member here, with a few questions: 1. Bought a (I think) BCR last year. But it’s got the stock r1100s exhaust system. Didn’t bcr’s come with a Lazer system? 2. When BMW upgraded the oilhead to twin spark, they also upped the displacement from 1100 to 1150. So why didn’t the r1100s get...
