K13GT will be new New evolution ABS that did away with the servo Sadly what happens is the brushes for the ABS motor bounce back in and stick in their holders and there is no power circuit present for the motor and that immediately flags a failure BUT in better news there is no residual braking issu...

You are right 20W50 more viscous than 10W40

Usually if its a Wet Clutch Bike You have to stick to the recommended "usually" 10 W 40 and also it has to be Suitable for a wet clutch

It makes more sense to split the cases and have a look there may be chipped teeth

Where it says Serial Number on the page below enter the last 7 digits of your frame number and "search" Then "Browse" parts Then select Group 51 Body Equipment Then Painted parts and you choose what you have from the sticker Example WN2T is imperial blue Click on the body panels to go to the microfi...

Look under the saddle You will see a sticker with "Farbe" This is the colour "Scheme" not individual colours Its not something the dealership has to "break down" they just order panels to the scheme or in primer So its possible the paint shop can work with it better To be honest You are probably bet...

Apologies Folks I may well have confused the two methods with time passing I did LOADS of K 2valve types but only one K1100LT Perhaps we should edit the posts correctly Oh and Keith If you think the 1100 is difficult for adjusting the TPS Check out the K12RS K12LT Near enough an Engine out operation...

That's the item '2' in the drawing I supplied, and should according to the manual not be adjusted. Yup Amazing the number of bikes came in with the lacquer/paint mark off them not running correctly Like I say I last did this 12 ~15 years back and If anyone else has one to double check? There should...

Sorry for being late back to the party Are the 1100 infills only foam where the K100 was a plastic blade with a foam edge ?? You might be able to buy a used LT one out of Motorworks or similar and "trim it down if it is ?? Also look for Baker air wings Whilst they look a little odd they make all the...

Keith did you check for Air leaks ?? If they draw air anywhere they run weaker and rev faster Can you see part 17 on your bike? LINKY Its a long time from I did it, but I think that leans on the end of the throttle control rail and I do remember my Foreman going on about it and how the last guy caus...

Hi Jay,

According to the BMW manual, it should be 1.5% +/- 0.5%

Mike

Yes that seemed familiar indeed thanks Mike

We used to set them 2 to 2.25% to negate the tendency to surge with a lean mixture

If it has a Lamda probe it likely won;t have the CO pot anyway

I think that the K 1100 LT uses the same infill part

My head is pickled at the minute what part number did you find for the other side ??

K series Brick is Via the brass screws "BUT" there's a method you have to set the throttle cable balance across all throttle bodies. The screw at the rail end that "seems" to adjust the idle speed is for set up only i.e. to bring up rpm enough to set the throttle balance It should always be set back...

I always find that the most profitable is to not involve your insurance, deal directly with the other party's and take a payment in lieu of repairs rather than letting them write your vehicle off.

I suspect with the bang that Pete had?

Said Bike is not in a decent state of repair at all

TWIN CAM All the way Pete The newer the better

Heal Well Heal Fast

Try that schit here and you are screwed

MUST have Mph and Kph or be switchable between the two

an MPH only speedo is acceptable pre 86 (I think) OR if it has a DOT approval letter from Ducati Which caused a huge stir over here for a while as they only had MPH clocks

Thanks Rob - Had crossed my mind but I don't have the plug in "gizmo" to recall/read any past faults. If it still occurs after the belt change I will visit my local independent service guru. I'm also thinking of potentially an "intermittent bad earth" which will be a nightmare to trace!! Make sure ...

Stop topping up your Oil so often ? ;) Halfway on the dipstick down as far as 1/3 up on the dipstick is plenty These engines tend to burn oil to a level and then it stays there between services Also if you use fine oils instead of Dinosaur 20W50?? It just vaporises so much easier and disappears thro...

Sine many years ago My little Black K100RS A980FPA which Emigrated to Ireland many years back I fitted Pirelli Mt01 and Mt02 may have been Mt 10 and 20 But the bike was absolutely lovely at the BM recommended 30 front and 32 rear That was until you tried to change direction suddenly and then you wou...

Yeah but can you just imagine if that arrived with a hole in it ???

Thats why it is packaged like that

be grateful they were taking care of it !

Oh and P.S. The high torque induction kit is just a set of GS intake Tubes on the rear of the throttle bodies Low fuel economy around town If you have a sooty tailpipe is likely a Throttle potentiometer which is set waaaaaay too high How bad is the hole in the airbox ? I mean taking half the bike ap...

x I will set the bike up using Bob Lentini's zero=zero method your thoughts please Don't just don;t do the zero zero its a load of american bumfluff! While its cold Set your rocker end float Then check the rocker clearances and adjust if necessary Then set the THrottle balance at idle with the engi...

...i have no choices here.....closer inspection reveals only ONE single cable.....wow!! my wife tells me to wear my reading glasses more often The Multi cable set up is better as it can be a real bugger to set up the single cable with lots of play the throttle body bushings "But" the single cable i...

I've got a 1998 r1100rt rear shock refilled with hydraulic oil recently, but it has had little effect, hitting even shallow flaws in the road surface (pot-hole repairs etc) and the arse end feels solid enough to bounce me off the saddle , with my pillion and a little shopping the harshness is less ...

That next portion of video just after it is horrendous where 2 cars and a van end up pretty much written off !!

They dont actually go into the head at all its just a surface contact

If the flanges are not stuck on the studs

check on top of the catalytic converter there is a spigot mount there

That is very annoying Its a simple system The fact the light goes out when you lift a brush shows that pathway is correct Any chance your friend changed the bulb in the dash to a higher 5 watt output The Bulb wattage should be 3 W Ah Haaaa and is the main charge cable from the side of the Diode boar...
