I'm doing some surgery on my 99 R1100R (as posted elsewhere in another thread recently) and while I'm into it I'm wondering if there's anything else I should pay attention to or do proactively. It's got about 45k miles and I've had it for about a year. When I first bought it it had what I considered to be excessive popping/backfiring on heavy engine braking (as when going downhill), but after I serviced it (valve adjustment, fluid changes and changed out the plugs, I think I went from NGK to Autolite) that went away. About the only other issue I have, if you can call it that, is that when it's been run for a while, shut down and first restarted, it seems to want to bog down at low speed in first gear. It never stalls at idle and if I give it a couple throttle blips and get the engine speed up a little it runs fine. Always been that way and it's never actually stalled, died or left me stranded so I just live with it.
Anyway, I've seen elsewhere about a vapor canister delete - my vent hoses from the fuel tank are just tucked down along the side and aren't connected to anything so I'm thinking the previous owner has already done that. The only other thing I see is it has a Techlusion R259 (I think) module wired in. To be clear, overall it runs great and I'm not looking to get any more out of it or fix what ain't broke as they say, but I plan on keeping it for awhile so would appreciate anyone's feedback on what to look out for. Maybe should mention also I ordered a set of stainless brake hoses so will be installing those as well.
Thanks!
