    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

2000 bmw r1100rt

I agree, you can do everything yourself, I would have someone who has experience with the 1100 to do the valves and throttle body sync at least the first time. Getting that right makes a tremendous difference in the smoothness of the engine and can eliminate any surging.

I did mine as per the manufacturer and it ran great I thought until Moto Ghost here in PHX did it for me the last time, big difference..

There are plenty of knowledgeable shops around that know these bikes and you don't need to pay BMW prices. IMO it would be worth a couple of hours shop time just to look over his shoulder.

Cheers
I completely agree and I was willing to spend a few hundred $ to shortcut getting up to a speed on a new and different motorcycle. But four figures for an 'inspection' gave me pause. I am now on the lookout for one of those knowledgeable shops. I joined the local BMW club but it's next meeting isn't for another month.
