Tips on riding an R1100S
Hi - I am new to this forum and am looking for some help on riding my newly aquired 2004 R1100S race prep (no abs) bike. After riding a BMW F800ST for the last 2 years I was used to smooth and predictable handling. The shaft driven R1100S gives me eerie sensations - pulls to the left whenever I accelerate and more importantly feels as though its sliding from under me on curves when I get off the throttle! Yesterday I was taking a sweeing right turn at about 50 mph and it was a white knuckle experience. Is this common for this bike or is there something wrong with the shaft drive? Any tips on what to expect, watch for or how to ride it so this dosen't occur again?
All suggestions, help welcome!
