Black Fly just went to the dark side and bot a 12GS and have a bunch of toys to transfer from the K11RS.

If you know the RS, you know there isn't much room for electronic farkles and still see the...

I have a 1996 K11RS and want to mount Hella Micron HID lights. I have not been successful in finding a good mounting system for this bike. Hint: I do not want to mount them directly under the...

It was mainly a trip to recharge the batteries, but it turned out to be much more.

We observed the event from several venues on the course including:...

Hey Posers!

Here is the sound of REAL motorcycles that you missed out on at the 2004 Isle of Man TT. (Change to a *.WAV file after downloading)

Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk!

I had a 1988 K75S with a 1992 shortblock (long story). At ~93k miles I took down the cylinder head for port and polish. What what learned from the flow bench is a bit different from what you have...

I might suggest that you take the bike to the dealer, rather than spend any more time on this and potentially creating more problems for yourself than you know. In my previous post, I figured that an...

Thanks for the reply, Mick.

Next time around, I'll go the Digi-key route. I ended up calling Chicago BMW and they sent me a BMW/Exide model for about $65.00 (20% off all BMW parts). I thought that...

Rick,

The early K-bikes had this problem, by the cure is likely different, given the configuration.

Assumption: This is your K1100LT and the vent pipe and hose is plugged!

I recommend that...

We're looking for an (aftermarket) replacement battery for a 1996 K11RS.
I am familiar with BMW's offerings and that from Westco. Are there any others that make the grade?

The foliage is 110% along the coast of Maine. It is nice and should remain that way throughout the weekend (What a difference a day makes: snow yesterday). The leaves are in full bloom from York to...

Stace,

I'm working on K machine.

I was listening to the bike a couple of weeks back and heard the ominous ticking of the exhaust. After loosening the exhaust assembly for removal, the header...

Hey K-bike riders,

I thought I would pass on a (new to me) and most helpful used parts guy in NC. Fred's Cycle in Morganton (828-433-1067).

He came as a referral from BMW of Charlotte...

So....How was the private tour with the Docent?

and the pool?

Enquiring minds want to know?

Hi Mike.

As it turns out, this is a characteristic of the beast and is usually caused by a voltage variance.

Apparently it is not a problem. It is one of those things that we acknowlegde and...

Hi Joe.

I just sold my 1988 K75S in June, with 170k on the clock and most everything you have read in this thread is true. One thing that havn't mentioned is that the pre-1990 K75 motors have...

Picture this... the bike is a 1996 K1100RS, it has ABS II.

If you have one of these (or anything with ABS II) you know that when you start moving under power, the ABS "cycles" by making a couple...

A little 1200 paper and the whole thing will be as good as new, won't it?

Sorry for the tardiness.

The baseline adjustment is as follows:

With the bike on the centre stand, measure the vertical distance from the shock mounting bolt on the differential to a...

Thank you.

I saw that page. But, the Vision line of VDO gauges are their consumer line and not the better 'Cockpit' line. Perhaps I should have mentioned that.

BFF

I'm looking for the part number for the VDO Cockpit gauge to replace the temp gauge on my K1100RS. I do not have access to the VDO catalog. Help?

Revisit.

I tested the original sensor and decidied to replace it. Although the sensor was not in spec, that was not the problem. There is a damping mechanism inside that is defective.

The (OEM)...

To most who are familiar with the K1100RS, it has two Motometer gauges. One for fuel level and the other, engine coolant temp. The temp gauge seems to wiggle a fair amount (1/8ÔÇØ) while riding...

:cool:

Well, I have immediate access to the VDO line and there are two possible configurations for the temp gauge. I think the fuel gauge has three possible. I was sort of hoping someone out...
