Yes, the windshield by me. As I usually hardly ever drive on the highway but only on smaller roads and mountain roads this gives some extra cooling and more importantly a steady airflow around the helmet instead of the buldering noise. It does mean that the total windforce on your head and shoulders is higher. This is ofcourse dependant on your own height, so I can only encourage you to try. Removing the windshield is very easy. There are also flip-up spoilers that go on top of the original windshield that really help if you do a lot of Highway driving.

​@@biketube4256 Yup i've got an additional flip-up windshield, which reduces the noise. I guess removing everything-windhield would increase the amount of head/helmetnoise ? (which is not what i am looking for btw)

For me the noise got less, because it is now a steady laminous windflow instead of a turbulent windflow, but that probably depends on your height. So for me less noise with the default windshield removed.

@@biketube4256 i guess it's gonna be a trial&error thing for me too. Thnx for the heads up 🙏🏽🏍️

@@biketube4256 ps. what is your height & weight? Helmetsize ?

Hi, So sorry for the late reply! I am not sure how you can actually determine if it is an original. Probably the surface finish and quality of the screws? Or maybe the inside and the surface finish of the slide.

A lot of second hand shops in the Netherlands have this part available. The RID from different R1100 models will fit, but most of them have shorter cables so then you would need to extend the cable harness by cutting off the connector and soldering some extension cables in between.

Because a flatslide carb is less long than a carb with a round slide the airflow is less restricted. Meaning a slightly higher performance. Some other advantages are that with the TM series you can adjust almost everything to tune the performance of your engine at your sweetspot with regards to throttle position of revs. Edit: long with regards to the distance the air needs to travel

I am glad it was of some help!

Hi, the vacuum cap was there from the factory. On my XT500 I don't have a vacuum fuel valve. i Think an SR500 does, so maybe yours has as well? About the tattling noise. Mine doesn't do that. When idle the return spring pulls it back hard enough into the idle adjustment screw to prevent that noise. Not sure what is causing it. Maybe the spring is not right enough?

Hi, hope this helps, it's the list I used: Motronic Codes 0000 - No further fault stored 1111 - CO potentiometer 1122 - Hall signal 1 1133 - Hall signal 2 1215 - Throttle butterfly angle sensor 1223 - Engine temperature sensor 1224 - Air temperature sensor 2341 - Oxygen sensor at limit 2342 - Oxygen sensor signal invalid 2343 - Mixture setting at limit 2344 - Oxygen sensor shorted to ground 2345 - Oxygen sensor shorted to 12V 4444 - No fault stored

Hi, Yes as far as I know that will work!

@@biketube4256 Excellent. Thanks!

How nice to hear! When I saw this yellow version of the 1100 a couple years back, I just knew I had to make it mine.

Hi, sounds familiar for sure! Have you tested the temperature sensor cable separately already? About the diagnosis tool, my friend made it about 20 years ago. Since then some websites were created about it like www.powerboxer.de/elektrik/354-4v1-fehlerspeicher-motronic-ma22-24 . Let me know if you manage! Otherwise we might create a video on it ;)

@@biketube4256 Thanks for the reply. I found a bosch sensor for ~40 shipped from Latvia. It worked like a charm! I drove around for about an hour, on a nice summer day, and them temp gauge stayed between 5 and 6 bars. Success! Thanks again.

Thanks!

Hi, I think I can't explain it better then in an old Mikuni manual: "The pilot screw is used to control idle mixture. Turn the screw out to richen the idle mixture. Turn it in to lean the mixture. The engine should have a smooth, steady idle with the screw between 1/4 and 3-1/2 turns out from fully bottomed (gently!). If the engine requires more than three turns out, the pilot or pilot air jet may be too lean. If it requires less thatn 1/4 turn, it may be too rich." So I'd start with 2-1/2 turn from closed and start the bike. The slowly turn the pilot screw in and out until the bike runs at the highest idle speed but still smoothly. Then you have the correct setting. And if you are outside of the limits as stated in the text above then you should probably try a different pilot jet.

@@biketube4256 nice information!!

Здравствуй С Двух Колес, nice job, useful upgrade right!? eBay has plenty, I got mine via a motor garage that has many spare parts lying around. Any other fixes you are planning on doing?

Surely planning to! Any requests?

@@biketube4256 Anything, I bought an R850GS last year, exact same bike as the 1100GS but with smaller bores. It was in good nick but it's been an ongoing series of upgrades since. Very easy bike to work on, well thought out. So, anything you come up with will be appreciated.

Thanks, really cool to hear. Good luck finding a nice one! Since this is my road bike, I'm planning on making more vids to help out.
