I have just tried to take the final drive unit off having removed all the bolts etc but the final drive unit will not come out. Is it a case of whack with rubber mallet until out or is there something I have missed? :?
Any help would be greatfully appreciated as BMW have quoted £200 for job ...

I was told by my local BMW dealer to put in 10W/40 even though 20W/50 is in the manual! They said don't waste the money.

Yeah, I went through a spate of blown bulbs, bought an LED one that never fitted properly , then went back to normal bulbs, had the same on for past 12 months! I put it down to the vibes. Ever looked at how the back end shakes on tick over, if that don't shake a bulb to bits nothing will!

Hi Lars1974
Just wondering where you got the screen from (and if you don't mind how much for? ) as I looked on the pyramid website and couldn't see it under 1100s or ss.
looks good. Would probably help me as I'm quite tall.

Thank you to all who have posted a reply, I had already tried one of those lttle tools, but with no success. Motobins have my order. Although it did say the bleed nipple screw would not fit an R1100S. I live in hope.
Thanks once again.

Can anybody help me. I have unfortunately managed to shear the bleed nipple off on the rear brake caliper, and have been informed by BMW that niether they or Brembo sell the bolt that holds the bleed nipple onto the caliper. Therefore, they say, I have to buy an entire new caliper!!!!!!!!

Not sure who TB is :oops: but hope he recovers quickly ( was he one of the bikers who went off at Redgate?) Saw some great 1100s's there myself, one had a two tone paint job pearlescent blue/purple.Liked it . Still, had to leave to get back to Camborne in Cornwall. Bike racing is one of the few ...

I have been practising clutchless shifting and am getting quite good at it, but I was wondering if doing a clumsy shift will damage clutch or gearbox? Any answers , should I stop doing it?

Yeah my R11S has done this since I had it, I put in a full synthetic oil in both gearbox and drive shaft. Redued knocking slightly, helps with gear changes.

I have been thinking of getting a redesigned saddle for my r1100s and followed a link from this site to boxer-design.de where I found what looks like a very comfy seat. 8)
What I would like to know is has anybody had their saddle done by this company, and if so is it worthwhile? was the experience ...

I've got metzler roadtec Z6 front and rear on my R1100 SS. Can you suggest anything different? Z1,Z3 pilot road etc. I am looking around to replace the tyres and would be greatful for advice on different tyres that suit the bike as well :D , I ride fairly fast, cover commuting to work and the old ...

Has any one had there 1100s gas flowed? If so did it make any real difference. Or have you had any other engine mods done that improved performance?

Hi I have both braided hoses and risers on my 1100 ss.
I added 15 mm to the lengths suggested by Goodrich with their buildaline system, available from many places. My brakes have bnever been so good. Really easy to fit and gives you a double banjo at the master cylinder so 1 line goes to each of the ...

Hi there Goodrich do hose kits and "off the peg" kits called BUILDALINE. You buy the banjo bolts and hoses separately, I did the front of my R1100 s for under £50!, the rear will prob cost another £20 when I get round to it.

Hi does anyone know how to bleed the clutch fluid from an R1100s 2002 bike. Is it fairly easy or best left to a professional?
