Happened to me once, turned out to be a piece of gravel stuck on top of the gearbox which stopped the lever going right down. Could change down on the move in other gears, just 1st was difficult, must be a bit extra travel to select.

Had PR2s and they were really suited to the bike, now gone to PR3s and they are even better straight from the off!

Well mine always pulls to the left if I let go of the bars, never right!
I have Wilbers front and back on mine, set to standard, but I think it did it even with the standard shocks on.

Hi Guys, Glad that TT is ok, good comment on cylinders being crash bungs, never thought of them in that way! Am thinking of trying an R1200ST, love my R1100S and have kept it for over 6 years, but it isn't the best for long haul 2 up work and have tried various screens to keep wind noise down but to...

Fear of falling?

Try new shock on front and change the rear while you are at it. Standard shocks are rubbish anyway! Bought a set of Wilbers off one of the guys on the forum and it transformed my bike.

SS Disc bolts

Have to agree with Nu2beemers, made the mistake of buying the same off ebay and the hex socket on the first one deformed on tightening! Ought to return them and let supplier know they are shit. Have had to stick with the stock item, at least I can trust to be able to remove them when I need to. Does...

Pulling to the right

Hi All, Have searched for this one but no results, so anyone else get this? If I sit up and let go of the handlebars at any reasonable speed, my 1100s always wants to steer to the right. I know it is an in line flat twin, but torque reaction should work the other way by pulling to the left when the ...

Fuel Cap Flap

Have (clumsily) managed to snap the alloy flap which covers the keyhole on the fuel cap of my 1100s and have discovered that this part is not available separately from Moto Bins and Motorworks. Have got around it by finding a second-hand cap minus lock from James Sherlock for a tenner, so just wonde...

Laser Vibes!

Assuming there are no mechanical vibes from new exhaust parts touching somewhere, as mentioned by others, it would be best to check the balance of the inlet manifold flows as any previous imbalance may be exaggerated by the new exhaust. Have fitted the same Laser system on mine and had no vibe probl...

Valve Clearances

Spent nearly 20 years in the motorcycle trade and balancing the carbs was the last thing to do once we had changed plugs, checked air filter, exhaust leaks etc. and finally valve clearances. Incorrect valve clearances subtly alter the valve timing and therefore the inlet vacuum, which is what is bei...

Gel Battery query

Hi, has anyone tried a gel battery from this German supplier on ebay?

Iten Number 300043096966 1st-bikershop_de

Price seems very reasonable (£56.55 delivered) compared to Hawker!

Looks like I need one ASAP now that mornings are colder.
