Pacific Blue 2004 R 1100 SA (Updated: 2010.5.4)
Purchased: December 2005
Usage: 14,500 miles, Street/Sport, Touring.
Tires: Metzler Z6
Owner: John Cherry
Location: USA (NorthCentral) -- Iowa
Experience: 41
Bikes Owned: 6
Accessories: power outlet, radar mount with quick release for my Valentine, additional socket added for detector, rear flashers replaced with some CNC machined LED's, Hard Bags,
Modifications: Stock baby, it's stock. One of the few.
Problems: I had to have the ball bearing race replaced by dealer at 12000 miles, no damage as it was caught early. You could hardly tell which bearing was bad once the original race was removed, but I could feel it easily on the bike. Change the rear drive oil every 6k or once a year whichever is more frequent and use synthetic.
Comments:
I. Went through a Michelin Sport Pilot rear tire almost, high speeds and over inflation might be the cause. Currently leaking oil after a service last week, the dealer thinks mabe the bolt is cracked from being drillled by him for wiring on track days.(replaced with new oil bolt) Still trying to dial in the suspension.(forget it I want Ohlins) Tank bags don't work for me on this bike as I like to lay on the tank at speed and when it's colder. It appears to get stronger with miles, pulled the front up yesterday with out trying as I shot across an intersection, thinking of adding a stabilizer. Center stand removed and rear wheel stand ordered, I will use the center stand for long trips. I still love this bike, hard bags.

Problems: not Much really, Paralever Bearings Shot 35k Miles, Drive Shaft Seized 40k Miles(New Rear Section fitted). Bevel Box big bearing started to go at 80k miles, replaced with 23k S/H box, but have also repaired original for spare
Comments:
Still going well 80k on original clutch, burning oil a bit more now but still within BM specs, paralever bearings went again at 66k. New Dunlop Roadsmarts a revelation, maybe not as long lasting as the Mich PR2's but I much prefer quicker drop in and mega grip. Carbonne Lorraine Pads my preference on the brakes

Problems: I had what I believe was the original battery go dead without warning (difficult to bump start an oilhead); replaced with a maintenance free/AGM battery; experienced final drive big bearing failure@26,000 miles and replaced it myself; second big bearing failure occurred@36,000 miles and used new re-shimming technique to repair final drive
Comments:
First oilhead I have owned and ridden - handles very well with good lower end grunt. Have ridden a K12RS for 5 years/50K miles and the R11S is as fun without the extra weight. Something about that twin aftermarket exhaust sound too. Completed a 6K, 3 week trip to SD, WY, UT, and CO in summer '08 and the riding was great. After 36 months/28,000 miles the bike still looks, sounds, and handles great.
