Package From Deutschland Arrived Today 🇩🇪

For those of you who have been following, my bike is down for some repairs, so I decided that since I’m going to have my bike apart, this would be an optimal time to do some upgrades that I put off until a later date. Well…that time has come!

So, I went on a little shopping spree and ordered up the parts needed to do the repair jobs, but also some other goodies that should improve Der Beemer’s performance. Shipments have begun to show up at my house and are piling up on my workbench. Today, a curious white box from Germany arrived on my doorstep. Any guess what it might be? A picture is worth a thousand words (see photo below).

I decided to upgrade the fuel injectors. So, I ordered a matched set of R1200 injectors from Tills. Considering the parts came from Germany, I was surprised at how quickly the good folks at Tills fulfilled my order and had it shipped to my doorstep, especially considering it had to go through Customs. I ordered the package Monday and it arrived by Friday (today).

The other item I ordered is an AF-XiED O2 sensor manipulator. From what I’ve read the folks who’ve installed the AF-XiED have been satisfied with a reduction in surging and smoother idle. Some have reported better performance from the low-mid range RPM’s. While I can say that the upgraded fuel injectors will have better feel atomization and the AF-XiED will improve upon the factory lean running condition, how those two things working together in concert will translate into felt performance remains to be seen. I’m very much looking forward to finding out though.

One upgrade that I haven’t yet decided on but still considering is a paralever bushing kit to replace the factory final drive pivot bearings. Besides being a better design, I like that the bushing kit comes with Zerk grease fittings making them easier to service. Any thoughts on this? Good or bad, I’m interested in hearing your feedback.

I upgraded my fuel injectors to the Tills.de matched pair, and it was worth every penny. Noticeable mid-range performance boost.
I haven't bothered buying a AF-XiED O2 sensor manipulator, my R1100R runs smooth and idles fine.

I've done both matched R1200 injectors & AF-XiED on my 04RT... you will love this combo. Low speed driveability herky jerkiness is gone & surging is greatly reduced but not totally cured.

A couple weeks ago after returning from a 3000 mile trip, I noticed I'd developed play in my paralever pivot bearings & I opted to install the bushing kit you linked to. Install was quite simple & I'm back to no play in that area. I, too, was interested in the greasablility with zerk fittings but after snapping one of the fittings off, I'll be opting to disassemble, clean & regrease by hand when I change my rear tire.

Did the injector upgrade from EME and just installed AF-XiED for 03 BMWR1100s. Felt nothing really with the injectors, but noticed a big change in drivability and full throttle acceleration with the O2 manipulator. Also installed the Emerald Island pivot bushing kit from Ted Porter's Beemer shop. Mine was not sloppy to start with so no real difference was felt there. Better, more long lasting system however.
