This is a little late but I just saw your question. I have a 2004 R1100s. I had a burnt exhaust valve and had to have it worked on. I used Cross Country Cycle (in Metuchen). This work was done...

I had this problem with a BMW K75s that I used to own. The dealer traced it back to the ignition switch. They put a new switch in and the problem went away.

Duckbubbles,
I have rocket sprockets on a 2004 R1100s. I have done quite a few other things as well, but I don't rev much past 5,500 or 6,000 ever. Usually not over 5,000 either. Every once in a...

I'm just going to put this out there. I had Ted Porter (Beemershop) build me a set of Wilbers shocks for my 2004 R1100s. It is the best riding motorcycle I have owned in 50 years.

That being said,...

Jozef, Thanks for posting this link. I should receive them today. It is something I wanted to do for a while. I have a Honda VFR 800 that has an LED headlight. It makes a big difference.

You can go online to see how to remove the shocks. It is not hard to do with when properly supported.

As far as new: I agree to reach out to Ted Porter. I got Wilbers from him. I spent quite a...

More more thing. It sounds like a high speed fan not a slow rpm related one.

Very good question.

No it does not vary with rpm.

I have no way to record the sound and post it. If I did I would do so.

I am going to end up taking it to a dealer and let them hear it.

I took a slow riding...

Thank you but none of these

It sounds just like the cooling fan on my VFR. It isn't a whine or low speed. It also isn't the belt on the alternator.

Keep suggesting what you think. Who knows someone might have had the same...

Sounds like a fan running when hot.

I have a 2004 R1100s Prep. I am approaching 57,000 miles. Within the last 500 miles when the air temperature or the engine temp get too hot it sounds like a fan is running. It is the same sound as my...

I don't know if you want this for your motorcycle or your car. If for your motorcycle, you can get it at Revzilla cheaper. Garmin just had a sale on the Zumo-XT. I just got one for $399. They will...

Let us know if and how you get it on.

Mophead, if you are able to get it on, let us know how you did it and if there is anything wrong with the bike or the seat.

For what it is worth, I had my clutch splines go bad at 45,000 miles on my 2004 R11000s. I always did my own work, so I fixed this too. That being said, it cured me of wanting to do anything really...
