Many thanks for the very useful advice Pete & Nab. Sorry I was so long responding - been out for the count with some kind of 'flu..... Looks like I need to check the valve clearances first, not done that for a few years! If that's OK I think I might go for those R1200 injectors as my R1100S is g...

Hi, My R1100S came over all shaky at tick-over & I guessed that maybe the throttle cable/bodies needed syncing. I've got the gauges but have never attempted it before. I checked YouTube for advice and went ahead. It seemed that the left throttle cable/body was pulling less vacuum than the right,...

Have sent you a PM.....

Do you still have the exhaust parts for sale?
Cheers

Thanks Pete for that really helpful reply. Still got my arm in a sling but less pain & more movement every day. Will go for those Ferodo brakes, standard discs and the run in procedure you mentioned. Been having discussions with biker mates about ABS & whether it would have prevented the acc...

Braked on a wet, greasy South London road on Thursday. Front wheel locked and I ended up with a dislocated collar bone. Part of the problem were the brakes on my recently purchased non-ABS, R1200ST. Previous owner had fitted non-standard wavy discs & god knows what pads. These brakes were very p...

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like the R1200 headers might be easier to remove than the R1100s I totally get the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" advice too. Trouble is that I think there is a problem with the R1200ST. When I start the bike it sounds as it should. But...... After it's ful...

I've been thinking of getting hold of some secondhand header pipes - one set for my R1200S and maybe another for the R1200ST. The idea is to have them de-catted and see how they sound/perform. I'm hoping it wouldn't be such a hard job to do the swap around......... I've got reasonable spanner skills...

Many thanks for all your very useful tips. Sorry for the late reply - I've been away. Things I've learned are: * The Sub Frame is (fairly easily) removable so, if I was keen, i could remove it, paint it & replace. * Hammerite Smoothrite is the thing to use on black painted frame tubes rather tha...

I've just recently bought an R1200ST, nice bike........... :) While it at first sight appears to be in good nick, it's a different story when you remove the tupperware. Previous owner(s) have obviously ridden it on salty roads and hosed down the bike afterwards, forgetting the bits under the fairing...

Many thanks Colm.
Just sent you a reply.

Most of the bikes I have had over the last few years were purchased in the UK and imported to Ireland. Less hassle than you would think. Thanks for that useful info. I did do a basic check on the bike & there was mention that it probably was a UK import. I'm thinking now that I might go ahead &...

2008 in Ireland, looks good with a lot of bells and whistles. https://www.donedeal.ie/motorbikes-for- ... t/20285106 I do not know either the bike or the seller. Thanks for the heads up regarding the Irish R1200ST. Is exactly the bike I'm after. Just a bit reluctant to get into the whole bike impor...

One on eBay now. 5000 miles £3300 bidding

Thanks for the heads up about the R1200ST

That's exactly the bike I'm looking for, except......
I live in London and will need at least an 06 plate if it's going to comply with the new ULEZ emissions zone they're bringing in here next year.

After reading all the posts I decided to get the rear tyre refitted. The R1100S has a belly pan so I loaned my ABBA stand to the mechanic to make rear wheel removal easier. He hadn't used one before, so I gave him basic instructions on how to use it. But...... Don't think he tightened it all up prop...
