MI2Wheels Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Replace it, remove it, or leave it? It's on a '99 R1100R. The bike is in the shop for it's 24k service and the dealership called and asked if I wanted to get it fixed. I drive like a little old lady, no track days and not a lot of twisty roads in my neck of the woods. I'm thinking it's probably been broken since I bought the bike last year. Is it worth the 250+ to replace it? Link to comment
Godfather Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I would probably do it...The bike will handle much better when the twisties present themselves...Like M-22 from Manistee to Suttons Bay... Link to comment
ShovelStrokeEd Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I wouldn't bother. I took the one off my R1100S when it started to seize and I haven't missed it. In fact, I like the lighter steering that comes with it. The bike will shake its head a little on a bumpy 2nd gear corner exit but it never really gets that bad. With the wider bars on the R, it should be a piece of cake to control should you find yourself riding in a pretty sporting manner. Link to comment
