My 189.000km 1995 BMW R1100GS with gearbox rattle

[@paulvanleeuwen9046]

I bought this bike at may 2015 by de Knalpot. After disassembly the rear drive, the shaft was into 2 parts, that was all. Paul

Hi Paul, I am happy to hear that the bike is up and running again. I really enjoyed it for the 12 or so years that I owned it. Many of the best routes on BBR were discovered using this bike :)

WoW !!!!!! ..... I really love this bike !!!!!!!! :-)

The agricultural gearbox and jerky throttle kind of ruins the twisties.

Is that a Touratech windshield spoiler? If not, who makes it? Does it make a difference in wind buffeting? Thanks in advance.

[@BestBikingRoads]

Yes it is a Touratech item. A friend of mine recommended that I get one. It did make a slight difference but it wasn't as much as I was expecting. All the Best, David

[@itsJohnnyDill]

Thanks for the reply. I think I'm gonna spring for the Aeroflow, along with a headlight update. :-)

[@BestBikingRoads]

It was a great bike. I had lots of fun and discovered lots of cool places on mine. Many of the roads that are on my site bestbikingroads.com were ridden on this bike. Enjoy yours!

Cool tyres! What brand and type are they?

[@BestBikingRoads]

Continental Tkc80 aka Twinduro

Good day! I also have a r1100gs, it`s a great bike! Could you please advise where and at what cost did you get those rubbered foot guards on cylinders? Thanks in advance for your reply!

[@BestBikingRoads]

Hi there Donnie, The rubber footguards are from Wunderlich but they now seem to be discontinued. I had a look around and I found a secondhand set online and I found the following: www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/wind-und-wetterabweiser-regenschutz-fussschuetzer-1100-gs/662451386-306-1227 I hope this information is useful. Also, I still have a sheepskin seat cover (rider and passenger) and a set of bar muffs for this motorcycle if either of these two items are of interest to you. All the Best David BestBikingRoads.com

[@Sambreros]

Thanks for reply David! Will try to get those ones from the link you`ve provided. Many thanks for your research! By the way, is it okay for the rigth rubber to contact with the exhaust pipe? From your video it looks like it`s mounted extremely close to the pipe. To be honest sheepskin seat covers and bar muffs are way too touristic for me, as I don`t usually ride at low temperatures, but thanks for the offer.

[@BestBikingRoads]

Hello Donnie, Yes the rubber piece is quite thick, it does not actually touch the exhaust (I had the standard header pipes) , although it looks close. It never gave me any problems Good luck David

What is your last price

[@a.k1311]

Thats a dutch license plate!!

[@gimmieliberty6514]

£300 for cash

[@mikkei3532]

german crap- you should buy varadero trouble free

[@BestBikingRoads]

Considered that before i bought the GS but i had a firestorm previously and the camchain tensioner failed so i at that time i was not convinced that the varadero had a better reliability. Varadero a very cool bike though
