I use petrol with varying amounts of ethanol in it as evidenced by the random shades of green it has coming out of the pump of my local filling station. I can tell you one thing, it's not going to affect your aluminium fuel tank, it leaves no residue and causes no corrosion. When I cut the bottom ou...

Now sold, thanks.

I think those vests must be worn mostly by newbie commuters because - 1. They tend to ride quite slowly yet don't vary their speed according to the hazard level. 2. They either don't ever check their mirrors or if they do they must think they are doing the world a favour keeping everyone at their ow...

Case closed...

5mm OD and 1mm pitch would be a VERY unusual thread, they are usually 0.8mm pitch.

Thanks bfisher but no, I got them over the counter. Kept them for ages ready to fit then when the time came I found they were for the wrong model BMW.

I have a fuel tank for sale, it holds 24.2 litres when filled to the very brim and gives a potential range exceeding 230 miles depending on how you ride. The furthest I've been myself is 234miles with about half a litre left. My riding is all heavy traffic and filtering so a frugal rider on open roa...

Bump for these. They are still sitting in my drawer, someone give me £25.

Have you considered a bike change, after struggling with aching knees I fitted the Wunderlich lowering kit, which gave up to 40mm movement and raised the bars above the yokes, tried to convince myself it was better and then tried and bought a GS, problem fixed. As much as I enjoyed the 1100 over th...

I need the right more than the left, but I really need them both.

I would like the pods please.

Some people fully deserve to be prosecuted based solely on dashcam/helmetcam footage. Take this footage for example taken on my helmet cam the week before last.

Keep watching to at least 45secs by the way...

Had a think about it, and while a lot of people have carried out mods to increase the power (but mainly tractability) of the R1100s - I think I'm right in saying power remained circa 100bhp. While a bit more torque will never go wrong - I'm not convinced that this mod ends up with a worthwhile bike...

Quickly is a relative term. Took about 3.5 hours which I thought was pretty good. Nope, haven't got the clutch off yet, my back had had enough by then. So I'll look at that tomorrow. I originally thought that if it's the clutch it'll be a cheap fix,and then I looked at the price of a complete clutc...

"Quickly took it apart" isn't a term you usually associate with removing a BMW bike clutch

Have you removed the clutch from the engine?

That's not it at all - all the Friday engines were fitted upside-down.

Strange lot those Germans...
