    2000 R1100R Clutch Switch Removal

    Like many, the clutch switch on my R1100R has failed. I have read several threads, primarily related to the RT, on how to remove the switch. The consensus is to clip the wires and use a thin walled, deep 11mm socket. Unfortunately, I have had no luck as the 12 pt deep socket I am using will...

    During my Memorial Day tour, the combination of heavy wind, rain and aged adhesive apparently managed to rip off one front fork reflector - with bracket - somewhere in Kansas.
