Is there a test for vacuum leaks?

I think that I will go ahead and do the valves and throttle sync--will be doing them myself for the first time- I'm actually looking forward to it--air intake is good, air filter new and...

(1994 R1100RS) I have had this bike for 1 1/2 years now and I'm noticing lately that the power on acceleration in the 4500+ rpm range drops off abruptly. Does this indicate that the valves need...

Hi Anton
it was your article that got me through the rebuild last winter. May be ancient, but still clear and helpful.
Thanks,
Tony

Got the replacement fuel pump by USPO from Re-Psycle this morning. This is a new aftermarket one. I decided to go new as opposed to used. The OEM part is $400, this one was $200. Used...

there are kits you can buy to overhaul these brake master cylinders and they are pretty straightforward to repair. did mine last winter with great results and I am a newbie at this stuff

There's a company called Saeng-Ta from which I purchased extra mirrors for blind spots--really well-made products and easy to install--take a look

Thanks Roger--I think you're right and I'll steer clear of this particular alteration--I'll check the lines inside to look for any deterioration--I'm averaging removing the tank about twice a year--I...

I was already leaning towards placing the filter on the outside---any thoughts about this?

Thanks for the tip about reversing polarity--will give it a shot--have already ordered a new aftermarket replacement from Re-Psycle in the mid-west--should arrive any day--

Funny, I just had Bob's bar-backs installed on my 1994 R1100RS just last week at Bob's and apparently a new clutch cable wasn't called for. Had new SS brake cables installed at same time and those...

thanks! I certainly am looking forward to having my bike back!

Have checked all fuses and switched appropriate relays around and cross-checked them. All seem to be functioning as they should. hot-wired the fuel pump through large connector under right side of...

hi Happy Wanderer--
that test will be done tomorrow morning--seems the most direct to find out whether the pump is the problem or not--then
i'll be troubleshooting from there--Today I take people...

thanks everyone--
will take some time to digest all this but will give you an update when done
Tony

sorry I didn't see these comments before my previous post--will check this out tomorrow
thanks!

thanks Roger--
fuse #6 is good--switched load control and fuel pump relays..no go (I suppose that could mean both are good ....or bad!)--checked electrical connector to fuel pump/sender...clean as a...

How do you go about testing the fuel pump? Does it have to be removed from the tank or is there a test which can be done externally? How does one go about testing the Hall Effect Sensor?

I...

Hi all-
Just got back from a trek to Bob's BMW in Maryland. Had SS braided brake cables and bar-backs installed on my 1994 R1100RS--drove back and forth from east end of Long Island (about 600...
