Hello Everyone,

I am the new owner of a 2003 R1100S BCR. I used to have a 2004 R1100s but sold it and always regretted it.

Anyway, found one in Ontario and rode it home.

I rode the 1500kms home in the rain with NO issues at all with the bike. It was amazing. I get into my home town and at one point come hard on the throttle a bit in 1st gear and it it was slipping. The revs were going higher but it wasn't engaging.

It was like a transmission slip or something. I took it for another ride last Sunday and didn't come on to it that hard but at one point had to pass a vehicle and when I came on to the throttle a little harder it slipped again in 5th gear.

I am not sure what may be causing this. The bike only has 26,000kms on it. I see no signs on any leaks around the boots of the drive. I also see no signs of leaks around the clutch slave cylinder.

One thing I do notice too lately is that when I go over bumps it feels like a bad shock or something is loose under the bike. I checked anything that could be loose without putting it on the stand. (that is in a box that is coming in a week).

Clutch seems to work fine and there is sufficient pressure from what I feel.

Anyone have any ideas of what to check for? I did order a new slave cylinder anyway as it seems it would be good to replace that.

Thanks for any help. :-)
