Its a long story about the engine work, but I will try to make it short. PO punched a hole in the lower case (off roading on an 1100) thus running it out of oil. I knew this before I bought it. Case was repaired. Test ride before purchase showed no sign of bearing wear. I ran it for 3 months before ...

I take it that the new exhaust eliminated the O2 sensor? Could not tell by the pics? What is that device sticking out between the tach and gauge cluster, GPS antenna, radar detector?

Hi All, New to this forum. Just wanted to know what type of final drive and tranny oil is being used in the R1100R? Dealer says they have been using 75w-140 synthetic. Not what the book calls out for? The book says either 80 or 90 or 80w-90 Hypoid gear oil depends on where you live. So the question ...

I have a question about oil and see that a post back in sumer 2014 was not addressed at all. It is the same type question I have. I will...
