Strange vibration on my R1100S

My bike , now over 60 thousand miles seems to have developed more than a tingle when riding , mid rev range. Before I pop the wheels off, new tyres last year, to re-check balance, any other suggestions ? I think the prop shaft needs synchro, because since the day I bought it, its had a weird feel in...

Re: R1100s for sale

I'm sad to read that age is holding you back, however I'm looking the same prospect in the eyes ....

This is certainly a real beauty , a lot of time spent cleaning and polishing !!

Good luck on your sale, and I hope you get yourself an age friendly replacement !!

Re: Big Changes for 2022

I wonder why the dropping f BMW in favour of KTM ??

I wonder if there is a greater profit margin ?

Or maybe the KTM is the latest "have to have" cult bike ??

Sad though , but who knows why the powers that be make these decisions .

Re: Lightweight wheels.

Gerry, I'd be very interested to know the source of the info re life span for carbon bike frames. I've never come across this before. I have been using the same pair of carbon forks on my road frame for well over 10 years. My carbon road bike is coming up for 3 years old and all seems fine. Regards...

Re: Lightweight wheels.

We built our own for the racebikes back in the early 90's (one of the first teams to do so - Hejira) and they were good for racing on smooth tarmac. We scrapped a few as we damaged them and learned how to make them stronger and properly integrate the spokes with the rims without using CNC milled al...
