hes repair

Last year my motorcycle acquired a bad miss and backfire at startup. I replaced the spark plugs although they did"t appear to be bad and it temporarily fixed the problem. Now it is happening again. Could this be an indication of a bad Hall sensor or is there something else I should check? Is...

I'm in the middle of a 60K mile massive maintenance job on my 1997 R1100RS. The next job is replacing the hall sensor in order to avoid possible wiring failure. The instructions indicate I need to use the special BMW locking pin tool to lock the engine in place at OT before removing the pulley...
