Check first that the nut hasn't started coming undone. They are fitted with threadlock but if it's been off and back on again it can work loose. Cheers Pete, it was just that.But we took it all apart and checked it over anyway. Seemed to do up nice and tight with my cordless impact driver. I'll kee...

I got one of these tools to help loosen/tighten the top nut on the ball joint as you also need to hold the ball of the joint with an allen key at the same time:- https://www.ffx.co.uk/product/Get/Sealey-Sx042-5024209952729-Injector-Socket-21-X-90Mm-1-2Insq-Drive?gclid=CjwKCAjw_L6LBhBbEiwA4c46uv4-nh...

The R1100S has recently developed some play at the top yolk.
Is it more likely to be the ball joint, the bearing or a combination ot the 2?
Tempted to just order both parts and replace them regardless.
Also, is there an easy method to remove the ball joint nut?
Thanks

Is the above a common fault and is there an easy/cheap fix generally?
Or shall i just rest the odo at the start of each ride and fill up at 150 miles ish?

Insurance are not allowed to deny a 3rd party claim based on vehicle condition it's specified in the Road Traffic Act. You won't tear a hole in time and space fitting a 190 to a 5.5" rim but you might not like the way it turns. Certainly if I was on a budget and I had one spare I'd be fitting ...

The insurance thing is a concern......might have to go tyre shopping.

I popped down to the shed with my trusty tape measure. The current Michelin Pilot 4 180/55/17 measures 226mm across the width and 53mm at the side wall. The new Metzler Rennsport(still a current tyre in germany) 190/50/17 measures 231mm across the width and 51mm at the side wall. A 180/60/17 Superco...

I have a Sport model with the wider 5.5 inch wheel as i mentioned in the title.

The Pilot 4 on my 1100S is getting quite badly squared of now, its a 180/55
I've got 2 new 190/50 in the shed waiting to go on another bike.
A. Will i encounter clearance issues ?
B. Am i certain to die first time out ?

Hi, thanks for letting me in. My names Mike I live just south of Carmarthen in Wales, I'm originally from Southampton. Picked up an 04 R1100S Sport yesterday. Absolutely love it. Great riders bike. It's in very good condition but is high miles, although ride has loads of history and rides beautifull...

It really is a very tidy bike.
Hoping to ride it from Carmarthen to Donnington Park on Friday unless the weather is very, very crap!

Yesterday i picked up a very clean 04 R1100S. High mileage but a lot of history and a lot cleaner than bikes id viewed with half the miles. I rode it 45 miles back through Brecon and Llandovery in pouring rain and it rode absolutely perfectly. I've wanted one for about 10 years and as prices seem to...
