I installed this upgrade several days ago on my 1994 R1100RS which has 24,000 miles on it.. The whole job was simple and took less than 30 minutes. My idle is definitely smoother and the throttle response is improved. I think this upgrade is well worth the price ($170 including shipping).

[@spency787]

I was very sceptical but I have just fitted these injectors to my ‘95 1100RT using adapters from BMW Motor Works here in the UK. I sourced the injectors separately and as such aren’t a “matched pair” but the bike is genuinely smoother throughout the rev range and didn’t require any additional throttle balancing. For the money I would highly recommend it 👍

[@M0Tourist]

Het spency, good to hear you're happy with them. I agree, it's worth the money!

[@geraldduarte9422]

Also had it installed. Happy with it

[@hayrack8937]

Did you synchronise? Ignition on, fully open and close throttle twice. Turn off ignition. Gear on and go for a ride!

[@M0Tourist]

I'd the throttle bodies synced afterwards ;)

[@guilhmar]

I like this injector too ! Puted in my 1150 GS 2002 and the motorcycle had changed for better in acelleration and its running much smooter than old injector! Its a very good mod for this bike!

[@M0Tourist]

Yea, there is no more surging of the engine and it runs smoother. The claim for fuel saving I do find hard to conclude on, since in the Netherlands fuel has 5% or 10% ethanol and that makes a difference in fuel economy as well...

[@guilhmar]

@@M0Tourist yes, I feel the fuel saving increase a little bit too but here in Brazil there is 28% of ethanol in what they use to call Gasoline but the engine got smoother and increased too much riding pleasure! My GS is 2002 and only 24.000 km yet!

[@feliperosan]

Hey Guilherme te achei aqui, sou do Brasil, estou querendo comprar uma bmw pra pequenas aventuras, queria trocar uma ideia e tirar umas duvidas, tem um contato pra falarmos? valeu

[@BERRYcompany]

Thank you! I bought immediately the kit after watching your video. This must be no1 mod everyone must do. Thank you for this! 😊 New subscriber here now

[@M0Tourist]

Thanks Berry. The bike runs a lot smoother, but I'm not sure if and how much fuel you will save😉.

[@BERRYcompany]

@@M0Tourist Bike is not made for fuel saving but adventure riding. If it can go smoother even better. 😊 Btw havent gone all of your videos yet, but what are the fittings on fuel lines you have from gas tank next to injectors? Filter, valve? Also does your fuel tank have red kote coating from bmw? If yes, is it pealing off so thats way you have filters on fuel line (assuming they are mesh filters)? Thank you!

[@M0Tourist]

@@BERRYcompany these fittings (I assume you point to the once white fittings) are the stock quick release connectors. The bike is from '97 and I haven't looked inside the tank to inspect the coating. The fuel filter is BMW OEM and I had it replaced a few years back, but there where no worrying signals from my mechanic wrt the coating. Fuel saving wasn't my primary goal either 🤣

[@BERRYcompany]

@@M0Tourist Thank you for getting back on me. Mine is 97 too but I didnt had such fittings so that's way I was wondering what it is. Unrelated. Soon I will be doing LED mod with Jeep Cherokee headlamp, noticed you are still driving with oem lamps. If you are interested I can send you 3D print link for housing and more pictures for 1:1 upgrade once finished. Also maybe that could be a good content for your channel too. 😊

[@M0Tourist]

@@BERRYcompany yea, really interested in that, I've been looking around for headlight options somewhat👍. You can contact me via Gmail😉

[@kc95gs]

Hi, thank you for the video! Now that it has been a year, what do you think? Was the upgrade worth it? My 95 GS has stock injectors. Cheers!

[@M0Tourist]

Hey Kentcolwell, Using them for a while now and I'm still happy with them! Ride safe and have fun!

[@philippejulian76]

Thanks for sharing. What kind of fairings do you have mounted around the headlight? It doesn't look stock.

[@M0Tourist]

The windshield is a Z-tech Vstream. You can find the different mods on the bike in the video below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqK5epWlobp_Y7M

[@philippejulian76]

@@M0Tourist thanks for the quick response. Mine is a 1994, same color, couldn't agree more about the nice ride this bike provides. The one thing I consider modifying is the "autobus" headlight. Cheers and keep on riding!

[@M0Tourist]

@@philippejulian76 There are a few more modifications on my wish list, the head light is one of them. Touratech used to make a double version, but it's not available anymore. I believe the only of the shelve option now-a-day's is www.wunderlich.de/shop/en/bmw-r-series/r-850-1100-1150-gs-adventure/electrics-lighting/lights-bulbs/wunderlich-double-headlights-dl03-evo-28450-002.html

@@M0Tourist yes that one is pretty cool, though I was thinking about fitting something kind of like that: www.ebay.com/itm/173992143731 Or www.ebay.fr/itm/TRUCK-LITE-27450C-Complexe-Reflecteur-5-x-7-LED-Rectangulaire-2-Diodes-Phare-/163299734871?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=709-53476-19255-0&campid=5338666530&toolid=10044&customid=CjwKCAjw-sqKBhBjEiwAVaQ9a0SBot-Ge693MypaKDfhhWq6J546UiMdh9TZDSWarflh-g1KXPXvhRoCQkoQAvD_BwE&gclid=CjwKCAjw-sqKBhBjEiwAVaQ9a0SBot-Ge693MypaKDfhhWq6J546UiMdh9TZDSWarflh-g1KXPXvhRoCQkoQAvD_BwE I guess fitting one of these on the bike might involve designing/building some kind of bracket... We'll see...

[@M0Tourist]

@@philippejulian76 That will require some modifications for sure, but makes for a nice project ;)

[@michele1342000]

Hello! Is it necessary to buy the whole kit or can i just buy the injectors (having the serial number)? I mean, are those screws and adapters necessary to fit the new injectors or you can make them fit with the stock parts? Thank you

[@M0Tourist]

The kit comes with all the necessary stuff (bolts, spacers, rubber grommets and the bracket if I'm correct). The original once don't fit the new injectors, since they are taller. I don't know what the price difference is, but I would go for the kit😉

[@michele1342000]

@@M0Tourist ok thank you very much

[@borismanasijev1130]

Hey wat leuk die video's! Cool dat er nog iemand nieuwe content wil maken voor zo'n oude maar gouden buffel van een fiets :D Heb je trouwens nog wat gemerkt aan het brandstofverbruik? Misschien kunnen we samen eens een technische video maken? Ik ben wegenwacht bij de ANWB en sinds het afgelopen seizoen heb ik ook een R1100GS alleen dan in zwart. Groetjes Boris

[@M0Tourist]

Hey Boris. De 1100GS is een topfiets, stuurt goed, kan er prima mee toeren en er kan bijna niks aan kapot. Afgelopen zomer heb ik de 1250 gereden, een geweldige machine! Qua benzineverbruik merk ik niet echt een verschil, het zal ook redelijk minimaal zijn en ik let er niet echt op. Grootste verschil is dat de motor beter loopt, geen last meer van surging. Als ik een idee heb voor een technische video laat ik 't weten.

[@borismanasijev1130]

@@M0Tourist Dat kan je wel zeggen ja! Afgelopen zomer ben ik solo naar Italië gereden met de GS en dat beviel heel goed 👌 De 1250 is uiteraard ook Top machine! Laat maar weten als je een idee hebt 👍

[@micksmith1628]

Can you please post the serial number of the injectors on the box Cheers

[@M0Tourist]

The # on the injector box is 0 280 158 038 If you order them here you'll get the hardware to retro fit it on the 1100 as well (different spacers and rubber ring): www.tills.de/product-47.html

18km with 1 liter????

[@M0Tourist]

Roughly, it used to be better but in NL we've fuel with either 10% or 5% Ethanol...

[@peterdewaele5698]

Hello Can men this yous for bmw r850r

[@M0Tourist]

I'm not sure if the 850 enjector type is the same as on the 1100GS, but the principle of changing them and benefits are the same. I suggest you contact the guys at Tills.de for some info on the options for an 850
