fuel pressure regulator??

[(RIP) ugg]

Is there a short cut to get to this ?
manual says remove airbox.


That means jacking up rear subframe just like ye do when removing gearbox.

I have to change seals on me gearbox, so is it worth me waiting till i do that , coz the airbox has to come out...



any ideas?

Just looked at the Clymer manual, it says remove airbox and transmission casing Sounds like a fair bit of dismantling, whats the problem Ugg?

jackin up rear frame is no big deal, 10 min job, but as easy waitin till u do seals like u say

I've heard you can mount the new fuel distributor/regulator under/near the tank and link the injector fuel pipes to the injectors with lengths of flexible hose.This way you check whether you have fixed the problem and can wait until its teardown time to replace properly.

I did mine that way, (jacking up the subframe) then along comes someone who says you can do it by removing the battery box.. so it may be worth a look.

If you decide to do this, you may like to know that the FPR from a K1200 is exactly the same to look at, but runs the fuel system at 3.5 bar instead of the 3.0 bar that the std GS uses... Gives much snappier throttle response - great for overtakes

Thank to Steptoe for pointing this out to me a few years ago. I took the easy route & got Roy Gardner to fit it while he was swapping out my final drive for an R1100S one.

Who said that ?.
Have they actually managed to do it or is it just a guess or something they've read on the internet posted by someone else who read it on the internet posted by someone who's never actually done it.
It seems to be how all technical information is aquired nowdays

I changed to the K1200 FPR on my 1100S but in conjunction with fitting a PC111. Fitting the 3.5 bar FPR to an otherwise standard bike would surely result in it running over-rich when it's running in open loop?

Funnily enough, I've also got a PC3 fitted...Lots fit a performance chip to cure the lean running that these engines seem to be set up with, so I don't believe it's a problem.

Not long after I'd changed mine I took my bike for it's MOT & mentioned it to the mechanic who was working on an RS1100 at the time and it was him who told me that removing the battery tray was the way to do it.
So is it possible or not? I really don't know, but should I ever need to change mine in the future I'll be looking there first, (unless of course someone tells me different)
