Yes the anonymous book will save your butt many times over if you travel a lot. I've even used it to find lodging at small out of the way hotels when all others were sold out by simply calling an MOA member near that area. Everyone is there to help. While you're at it the RA is a wonderful group as ...

My 1994 R 1100 RS with 43, 000 miles has a rattling either in the throw out bearing or in the transmission. When the bike is running at idle (1,000 rpm) with the trans in neutral and the clutch lever out I hear that rattling. When I pull the clutch in it goes away. Someone told me it was the synch o...

This conversion can be done but at what cost? There are a newer set of cables that are teflon coated and don't stick which is sometimes a cause of the surging scenerio.

I'm overwhelmed by the outpouring of responses.......... thanks to the 2 that greeted me. Wardie

Hi this is Wardieone now just going by Wardie. Was a member a few years ago and brought my Rockster to the 05' Bash in Elkins, WVa. Recently sold all my bikes including the Hayabusa and just purchased a very nice R 1100 RS . Looking forward to chatting with all the members and maybe catching up with...

Check out the IBMWR website for specific tune up suggestions ranging from setting the valve lash wider on the throttle side to adjusting the TB sensor to exact TB balancing. You'll have to work at it. If you're pretty good at wrenching probably reasonable to invest in Twin Max or Carb Tune for synch...
