✓ Valve and oil service:
Check oil changes (20W-50) and valve clearance (0.15/0.30 mm) every 10,000 km. Affordable gasket kits and cylinder head gaskets are core components of the spare parts portfolio.
✓ Cardan & Paralever:
Check universal joint play, transmission output seal, and Paralever bearings after 60,000 km. High-quality needle bearing kits extend service life.
✓ Telelever fork:
The central shock absorber can be replaced with Wilbers/Öhlins units; sealing bellows sets and the ball joints of the trailing arms are typical wear parts.
✓ ABS II (option):
Sensor gap and hydraulic pressure require maintenance. Replacement sensors, flexible steel brake lines, and ABS hydraulic filters are available.
R2S ('98-'99) vs. R11S ('99-'05) – Differences in Detail
R2S pre-production models are recognizable by their yellow dials, three-spoke cast wheels, and the M93 transmission, which offers a harsher shift feel. The Bosch MA 2.2 injection system features separate lambda sensors for each cylinder. In the R11S production model, the MA 2.4 controls both combustion chambers synchronously, improving fuel consumption and emissions. In 2003, BMW introduced dual ignition and a more powerful alternator. In 2004, the "Boxercup Replica" followed, featuring a raised exhaust, steering damper, and carbon fiber add-on parts.
Sister models of the R 1100 family
- ✓ R 1100 GS – the adventure forerunner: 19-inch front wheel, longer suspension travel, stainless steel pannier system. Identical engine base, shorter gear ratio.
- ✓ R 1100 R – Roadster purist: tubular handlebars, no full fairing weight, same Tele/Paralever substructure.
- ✓ R 1100 RS – sports tourer of the first oilhead hour, 17-inch chassis, half fairing, identical M97 gearbox.
- ✓ R 1100 RT – Full fairing with adjustable screen, highest dry weight, optional ABS II & heated grips.
These models share engine components, electrical sensors and parts of the braking system – a plus for spare parts supply, as many Boxer Oilhead components are identical across all series.
Typical weak points & preventive parts
Clutch slave cylinders can start leaking after 70,000 km – repair kits including O-rings and guide sleeves are available inexpensively. The fuel pump and fuel filter are located in the tank; regular replacement prevents pressure loss. The Hall sensor (pulse sensor) ages thermally – a modern Hall sensor with a silicone cable is a wise investment.
✓ Performance rear silencer
Remus, Zach, or Akrapovič add 3–4 hp and save 4 kg in weight; note the E-number!
✓ Power Commander / Chip Tuning
Tuning for open air filter and sports exhaust for more homogeneous torque curve.
✓ Wave brake discs & steel braided
Shorter wet braking distances, constant pressure feeling – plug-and-play with ABE.
✓ Wilbers/Öhlins shock absorbers
Adjustable rebound and compression, optional height adjustment for sportier steering.
Spare parts logistics – BMW OEM, dealer network & aftermarket
BMW keeps many components in stock for 15 years after production ends; it also has a dense network of parts dealers and specialized oilhead restorers. Wear parts (brake pads, filters, seals), electrical components, and complete clutch kits can also be found from renowned aftermarket manufacturers such as TRW-Lucas, EBC, NGK, and Mahle.
Value development & collector factor
The R 1100 S is currently priced between the R 1100 RS and the coveted R 1200 S. Well-maintained R2S pre-production machines or late dual-ignition Boxer Cup replicas achieve moderately higher prices, especially with documented service history and traceable use of OEM spare parts.
Conclusion – Spare parts as the key to Boxer fascination
Whether pre-production R2S or the more mature R11S dual ignition system, the BMW R 1100 S remains a sport tourer full of character. Thanks to a broad spare parts pool, boxer technology across models, and a dedicated community, almost every component can be retained or upgraded. Those who rely on BMW OEM-quality spare parts retain the powerful punch, precise Telelever feedback, and the unique blend of sport and endurance that the R 1100 S has stood for for 25 years.
Keep your Boxer fit – with high-quality BMW R 1100 S spare parts, the mix of sportiness and wanderlust will remain a guarantee for unadulterated riding pleasure in the future.
