$2000 spent at BMW dealer, bike still not running

This needs to be a sticky! Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Final Drive Bearing Replacement For R1100GS and R1150GS

http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=234400

I'll give you props, Laurel and Hardy on Land, you actually did something worthwhile around here. Good idea!

Not sure if my coil debacle is "top 100" worthy but it does catch people out.

And here I thought I was young for a GS owner! 20's!??! Wow.

Since you actually shared this one in a recent post, I can't claim any responsibility for finding it, but it's so interesting and full of creative ideas, I think it should should be in the list!

Vario Case Modifications

Thanks for putting together an awesome resource!

How about the link I cant find with the part numbers for the updated Cam Chain Tensioners for an r1200gs(a)
I can't find the parts for anything but have needed for months now. My goggle-fu is weak.

Good idea, but the list is too elaborate and incomplete at the same time. Considering that the total number of topics will be 100, only a few sections would be appropriate. Something along the lines of this:
1. Buying
2. Riding
3. Maintaining
4. Upgrading

I doubt there is anyone who will make use of all 100 topics. For example, as an owner of 07 bike I don't want to know "14. HOW DO I ADJUST THE VALVES ON MY 10+ DOHC." or "50. HOW DO I REPLACE THE FINAL DRIVE BEARING IN A R1100GS and R1150GS?".
And I hope it will be a while before I'll need to read "55. AM I TOO OLD TO OWN A GS? WHAT'S THE AVERAGE AGE OF A GS RIDER?"

How do I do a Throttle Body Sync?

Jim uses a Twinmax in the pictorial, but it's basically the same procedure using a manometer or Harmonizer.

The processes are all the same!

Great thread! A nice compliment to the FAQ!

I see the fuel pressure regulator bypass is covered but what about the ultra common quick disconnect flange cracking?

Here's an ADV thread on the topic:

How do I get rid of the fuel strip once and for all?!!!

LaurelPerryOn, this is Great. Thanks for a fantastic Christmas present that will just keep on giving !

Suggestion for a new thread, R1150GS ABS lights flashing.

Line the inside with female hook and loop field. Then you can dress the inside with a bunch of maxpedition stuff.

How do you replace the EWS ring? I'll look to find the URL.

Jimmy Lewis is a great source for teaching you how to ride the big pig.

How can I fabricate a snorkel to raise the air intake point on a GSA?

Any demand besides myself for:

"How do I reduce vibration at the handlebars (or everywhere) on my Hexhead R1200GS?"

A proper valve adjust and throttle body sync helps a LOT. There will, however, always be a small amount of vibration due to the nature of the motor. Some people are more sensitive to it than others and never get past it.

Pick up one of these for a while and there will be no vibration on the GS

Seriously though, I addeed beemerbuddies and it made all the difference for me in the bars.
