Jack gave excellent advide on that aspect, especially on retraining
the computer and the throttle cables getting dislodged.  I remove the
bolts and prop the tank up with a piece of wood and slide the battery
out.

Haynes and Clymer are the 2 major ones.  I like Haynes, others like
Clymer.  Some buy both.  

If you have an R1100S, there is a factory CD floating around the web
somewhere.  I think I know where one can be had ;-)
