I love my r1100gs. The main weakness in the bike is where the rear subframe attaches to the transmission. This is a well known problem and TourTech makes an aftermarket part to beef it up.
Regarding the paint on the TPS screw. Mine have been adjusted multipe times and have a few colors of paint. Many bikes come with poor adjustments from the factory and can use a bit of tuning. This is not a bad thing, just some thing to look for. Mine have been adjusted by factory mechanics at major dealerships. They all seem to reseal it with a different color paint.
