Re: Which Exhaust?

Staintune is fine - have had one for 4 years on my 1100R. Collector replaces cat. System sounds great but you will need a fuel injection modifier such as: http://www.techlusion.com/shopping660/shopexd.asp?id=30 Without this you will have all kinds of back firing problems. Once set up properly you wi...

Might also be the rear wheel bearing. I had to have mine replaced on my 2000 1100R while on a cross country trip. Logics of low milage or usage have nothing to do with it. Since having the problem I have learned that this is not an uncommon mechanical failure - even on bikes with low miles and light...

After having a local shop mount new rubber on my wheels and replacing the wheels myself, I noticed a serious wobble from the rear wheel after a few miles. When I stopped and checked the lugs they were all loose! First: thankyou BMW for a stock tool kit with a lug wrench. Second: I am now using lockt...

I ordered it online directly from the manufacturer (http://www.techlusion.com/). I think its worh a few more bucks to have the tech support and warranty if needed. Before I ordered it I spoke to their tech guy who confirmed that the particular product would be the solution to my problems and told me...

No more backfiring for me. No, I didn't replace the stock exhaust, I installed a Techlusion FI-1031 TFI injection box. Best $215. I ever spent on the bike. With the settings at the suggested starting points for after market exhaust and the oxygen sensor unpluged as they suggest, the problem is gone...

Today I pulled off the the entire exhaust system and carefully checked and cleaned the header connection to the cylinders. No problems, but still some backfireing at certain throtle positions (near closed). If I were very clever and skilled I could ride and avoid that particular throtle point. Also,...

Backfiring

I have read the posts that discuss the isolated odd backfire that can blow off the throttle body but I think this is a different problem. My 2000 1100R consistantly backfires and it is driving me nuts. It has a Staintune/no cat/ baffle is installed. Seems to run fine in every other respect. Lately t...
