bmw has some micro capsule thread locking stuff on it.
but honestly I dont think anyone does, thread locker wont hurt anything when you put it back together.
the manual says

Fork bridge to front frame
(clean thread + Loctite 2701)...................... 130 Nm
they also say to heat to 120c to remove but I havent had to.
the parts are all steel there are several things that should be heated to take apart
but they are alloy.


120 is quite a lot but how do you do that considering you need to hold the nut with an Allen key?

You need a 22mm socket with a hole in for the Allen key and I've only ever found you get that with a spark plug socket.



Re the toque without the Allen key in middle you could turn that nut forever it won't come off,just tighten it too taste,the only time I ever use a torque wrench on the 1100s is the back wheel.


Getting confused too; is the nut 14 or 22 mm? Which equals the inner diameter of the socket (not the outer) :)

How do you get the bmw roundel out without damaging it? Wanted to check if my sockets work before ordering new ones :)

The nut is 22mm you'll work it out when looking for 22mm socket with a hole in it.

Thanks Chris. And the badge, how is that one removed? Have tried some prying, but it feels brittle and I'm afraid of snapping/cracking it. Does it snap in, screw in, is there a trick?

you dont need to remove the badge
leave it alone, the ball joint is underneath it but you arent going to remove it from
the top clamp

brentw1 06-01-2016 01:34 PM
the final torque wont move the center pin
just be careful to calculate it if you use a crows foot
I just tighten it

I'm referring to the badge covering the nut where the socket goes in this screen shot :

that photo is not a 1100s
the nut is on the bottom under the front frame
the photo appears to be a r1100rs not the same mounting
look on ebay for samples of what you should have

victorlaszlo 06-01-2016 03:05 PM
That explains things - thought it was the same clamp LOL

Had a look at mine and I seem to have a 21mm nut, perhaps it's different on the earlier machines...

Regardless, it will be tight with space in there :O
