Uh oh, looks like my ST1100 could be in danger of being replaced... Nah,
there likely will be a better ST1100 before the FJR1300 gets here. And I
actually have no love for inline-4 engines anyway. If it wasn't for the
uniqueness of the GTS, I'd have never considered it. Just a personal thing.
Bob,
you got the guys email address? I can always use a 4th one. I am so
disappointed in the 1150GS that I am think of selling it and getting another
GTS. other than the oil use I love the bike.

Hi all,

that is):

I stated in my post that I wanted to keep the Wingrack 'cause I already have
the three cases for it, some inherited from my late brother. Krausers are
not an option,
probably due to my broken English. I

Your front tire is bad. Depending on the tire, when they wear, they'll cup on
alternating sides. At lower speeds, this will cause an oscillation - death
wobble. Bottom line, buy a new front tire. If it doesn't help - you still have
a spare. When you do replace it, make sure the tire is at or

The article is lacking details. It talks of extreme heat. This is an
ambiguous term. What are its parameters of extreme? Relative to believable
temperatures achieved in a stock engine? In our engine? It doesn't say. I do

When having them check the steering head bearings, they are looking for axial
play in the adjustment. They are exactly the same design as on a forked bike,
so they are looking for the same thing. Generally, in adjusting steering head
bearings, you should deal in 1/4 turns. Less than that seems

eliminate this problem. I suffered through this phenomenon using Macadams,

doesn't kowtow to advertisers (since it has none). It's the only one that
does and then publishes REAL tests without fudging to make sure the "desired"

I still remember showing the GTS to a friend for the first time, quite
recently. He stood there, and looked at it for about 10 minutes, completely
speechless. When he came back to normal he said that as a boy he had drawn
motorcycle designs, and this was how he had envisaged and sketched his

C'mon down here and I'll show you (read 'nothing') Shawn. We've got more
pick-em up trucks and SUVs and fewer people who need them, or can ably drive
them, than perhaps any other place in the universe. If all of the people

I hadn't planned to use more list space to advertise, but since there's all
this discussion about the '94 GTS for sale, I'd like to remind you guys
that my '93 GTS, with Corbin, Helis, Krausers, etc. etc. (no CB, though) is
for sale also. HU replaced, 22,000 mi., $6000.
