My ABS must not be working, since the rear wheel does lock up in a ratcheting manner.

Is this normal? It seems bad to me.

The ABS light blink in unison while once the engine is started, then go off in a few minutes.

This is malfunctioning, correct?

It seems that filling the engine with oil above the 1/2-way mark of the oil sight glass will sling oil into the airbox, and suprise a bloke when the airbox drain is removed.

Maybe ... BMW made this vent hose too sensitive to collecting oil. Solution => Only fill to the half-way level.

Howdy Oliver! Changed: -engine oil & filter -gearbox oil (shifts much better!) -final drive oil :smt020 -bled new DOT4 into both brake systems. To try to test the ABS, I lock up the rear wheel and upon locking, the rear wheel has a BAD ratcheting effect of the rear brake. Is this the properly-fu...

Just acquired a great 2000 R1100R, and am giving it a bit of TLC. -valve clearances checked -full fluid change (oil and brake fluid) -soon I will do the camshaft-chain tensioner upgrade. -new gapped plugs and air filter -new alternator belt (no idea how old current one is) -new fuel filter Anything...
