you have all managed to convince me to change the bearings anyway. I'm due for a Euro trip in late august and want the bike to be tip top in all areas.

Give me your email address and I'll send it to you.

The one I have is the workshop manual, very handy so far for fitment of alarm/immobiliser and tightening the rear bearings.

I trust you have a fast connection?

Having looked at all the previous posts on this matter I had almost given in to taking the machine to the dealer.
However a ray of light was offered from JasonM, who has advised that the bearings may become slightly loose and a simple adjustment may be carried at the rear.

This I have done and the ...

Handling Problems & shaft movement

At present my S handles very poorly and considerably worse than my previous RS.

I have put this down to the front tyre requires replacing and there is movement in the rear shaft.
The bike wobbles at speed and on gentle sweepers gives my sphincter a serious workout where previously the RS would ...

Going back to the original post, my RS done this, but only a couple of times, and only after I had the Laser chip first fitted. The engine 'spluttered' quite badly at the same time with rev counter sitting steady at about 3000. After that I carried the original chip in the 'boot' of the RS with the ...

Meta M357TH

Having fitted many Thatcham approved systems previously, I have purchased via Ebay a Meta M357 TH bike alarm system without any wiring instructions.

Does anyone have access or a copy of the wiring instructions to suit a 1999 R1100S? (or standard wiring instructions would do)

many thanks

Dubbed bike engine noises?

Try watching MI2 where Tom Cruise & Dougrae Scott both have Triumphs that sound incredibly different depending if they're pulling wheelies, spinning, etc,. and manage at least one tyre change during the bike chase. Some excellent stunts and manoevres, although slightly ...
