Mar 26, 2008 · The R1100S is kind of hard to nail down. There are a bunch of different packages. Options include normal BMW things like heated grips, center stand, and hard bags (which totally kick ass, btw. the underseat exhaust means you get a full-sized bag on each side.) but other things too, like 5.5 inch rear wheel, sport suspension, shorter torque arm ...

Dec 14, 2008 · Coming from an F800S, I think you'll like the R1100S the best. I've owned a '94 R1100RS, '96 R1100RSL, '99 & '01 R1100S's, and a couple R1150R's. Of the three models, the R11S has the best aerodynamics, most power, and was the most satisfying to ride. A bit more hassle to service, but a beautiful, classic design.

Jul 29, 2010 · Consequently, the R1100S which is supposed to be the sportiest version of all these models has the largest rake angle at the normal laden riding position. This is unfortunate since the steering on this model will actually feel slower and more resistant to turning than even the touring RT version.

I like the unit. Arguably over kill and heavier than a short billet arm though. But, you can, if you pack the wrenches, even adjust rear bike height on the fly from nearly stock height to BCR Sport -remembering however, that your bike favors which ever it's set up for shock height wise rather permanently up front.

Nov 26, 2017 · R1100S - Clearwater Lights Has anyone mounted Clearwater lights on their 1100S? I'm pretty sure I could get Darlas to fit on the forks near the brake calipers but I'd prefer to get some Ericas down there, which are considerably larger.

Nov 25, 2012 · Longtime BMW fan, recent R1100S convert. Looking under the fuel tank of my '99 non-ABS bike, I see a lot of empty space just crying out to be filled with extra fuel. I seem to recall one poster mentioning a modification to increase the fuel capacity by utilising this space.

Jun 10, 2016 · After a virtual trouble free season of riding my 2004 BMW R1100S, it has recently developed a bad case of a poor running engine (lets call it pneumonia); in general pretty sick sounding. It will start up fine, but shortly after develops a very rough idle, at which point I have to keep the RPM's above 2000 to even keep it running.
