r1100r

Greetings, I’ve owned this ’99 R1100r for six years without any starting problems, other than a bad battery. Normally starts after a couple of seconds. Runs like a top. So, I’m in a parking lot waiting for someone to back out of a spot, clutch in. When I release the clutch the bike jumps and...

Hi everyone, glad to find this group! I did try googling and searching the group before asking these... A 1998 R1100R 75th Anniversary edition, only 10K miles (!) recently found me. Sitting in garage last two years and clearly underused before that. Always wanted a BMW "some day". This was a "I...

Hi Gang, Looking for a replacement windshield for my '99 R1100R. Aftermarket shields are a problem due to the need to use the factory mounting brackets because of those idiotic aluminum profile non-adjustable handlebars. Cee Bailey used to offer one, but they suddenly no longer offer mc...

I have a 2000 where the light stays on when you shut down. Even if you remove the key. I am not seeing any relay in the fuse/relay box. Ideas?

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. I located new bracket and reflector combo on the internet and received the parts. To my surprise, the adhesive film on...

Anybody have a good home-made or store bought tool, other than tubbing or funnel so when you drain the oil from the gear box is does not go all over the cat conv? Thanks!

I need to replace the beat up D&D muffler on my 95 R1100R. I'm starting to look around at options now. Anyone gone through this before or have any recommendations? Thanks!

I have a 1995 R1100R and the exhaust pipe is wearing out and needs to be replaced. I've already got a D&D pipe that the last owner put on, and I like the sound OK but I don't know much about different brands. Any advice for brands to look for or avoid? Also, any tips on switching the pipes or...
