After being goaded into a "Take Your Most Unreliable Bike Roadtrip", and letting a good friend pick which of my bikes I had to take..... I brought the R1100R tank to the house to take it apart in a place that has actual lighting rather than a mouth held penlight. What I found was that the ...

Had an issue with my recently repaired r1100r.
Previous owner had disconnected the kickstand switch and jerry rigged a jumper that had an intermittent connection. restored proper connectivity and bucking stalling and surging have stopped.

It would be pretty funny. So, I could have fixed it with the HES, and then while it sat, the exhaust got plugged by vermin. Yup, Murphy and his horrible Law surely could have screwed me like that :) Although there are 30 some odd other bikes next to it without this "rodential" malady, the ...

Just keeping this going. Have not messed with the bike in months. I will definitely keep this thread informed.
I actually refer to it, as it is the only way I can remember where I left off.

Thank you all. Happy Holidays.

Had fuel distributor out, changed the pressure regulator. Checked all passages in distributor. Dripping between header and cat. Just a couple of drops. Could possibly have been external. Did not remove the exhaust yet. Have a new (to me) one sitting on the floor near the bike. Was about to remove th...

Thank you for your help. I check in here infrequently and was glad that someone had read this thread. If it ever gets fixed, I will The bike has been relegated to the back of the furthest storage garage with all of the "one day" projects, like the frame swap on the two C750A's, Ducati Cade...

Spent Easter Sunday working on the r1100r. Replaced the Chinese fuel pump with the old factory pump. What I noticed was that, it would start only on ether the first time, then would start on gasoline and only run for a few seconds... And the exhaust got excruciatingly hot in a matter of seconds.... ...

Stopped by there today. Started it with fluid, ran for less than a minute. It did run on gasoline for some of that time. The thing I did notice, was that the exhaust got HOT very quickly. Getting ready for Charlotte, so I won't have too much time to mess with it for a couple of weeks. I need the rest.

Oh. Thank you for the wiring diagram and you willingness to assist. I really appreciate it.
I absolutely love this bike. Great power, handles well.
Not having it ride-able is disheartening.

Spent some hours futzing with it today. The bike is 2 towns south of here, in a garage with no electricity and limited tools. Yay, challenge! I can plug things into my pickup truck, as it has a built in inverter, but am limited to wattage. I brought: Can of starting fluid. The old fuel pump. New fue...

Sorry to refer to a very old post, but on your orange Harley, is that a solar panel set in the lid of the Tour-pak?

Hello. Smitty here. I have a 95 R1100R, an 85 K100, a bunch of old Hondas, a smattering of Harleys, couple of mopeds, an ancient Ducati or two, 2 Yamahas and a Suzuki Rotary. After being told, "after you ride a Beemer, you'll ride nothing else", I admit that I do prefer the Beemers. Especi...

Hello, First post here. I have a 95 R1100R that will crank, but not start. Was riding through town last December when the engine puttered to a stop at a traffic light and refused to restart. Upon first perusal online, I found that the HES was usually the culprit, so I blindly ordered one and when in...
