Found it! You steered me in the correct direction : http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=0432-USA-06-2002-259S-BMW-R_1100_S_98_0422,0432_&diagId=46_0450 Item 11. I had fitted two of the small round cap screws where I should have fitted socket cap screws with washers. Great stuff and tha...

Throughout my R1100S ownership it's been a love-hate thing, mostly centred around the uncertain, non-planted feel I got from the front end. Yes - it got me around corners but it was always heart-in-mouth if I decided to get frisky. Tight corners were the worst, as if keeled well over, the front felt...

Thanks Mitch, but that's the 9mm brass air adjustment screw.

Cheers.

Sorry - should have added this:

Hi Guys.

Ahem koff koff I've lost one of my throttle stop screws. Can't find a part number so I'd imagine BMW will sell me one as long as it's attached to a new engine.

So, would anyone know the thread size so I can sort a replacement?

Cheers.

No it doesn't. I just checked.

For the GS and RT - yes, but not the S.

Thanks Dave and GR. :-) I've just finished crawling about the back of my headlight, and for the life of me, I can find only two adjusters: one for up/down and one for l/r. Where can I find more info? (I downloaded a bmw 1100S service document but it barely mentions this adjustment). The middle pic a...

Hi Folks. I'm searching for an LHD headlight ie, one used in a country where One drives on the left hand side of the road - eg UK and Oz and a handful of other enlightened countries (as opposed to driving from the LHS of the car on the RHS of the road. |:-\ ). Yes, there is a tale of woe behind this...

Removing GS tubes !!!! Philistines !!! Un-believers !!! LOL. Well I'm still batting along happily with my GS choob setup, but there were a couple of things I sorted along the way: - engine vibration/harshness: did the full throttle position sensor and throttle sync (vacuum tube) setup and procedure....
