Just my 2p's worth.

I am partially paralysed from the waist as a result of a spinal injury in 1981 (at age 1 Cool

. 3 Years later I smashed my lower left arm and wrist, broke my right wrist and left s ...

Thanks for the help, the problem is well on the way to being fixed!

Hi all,
Well, been a while since I was on here, as I was off road for a while. Anyhoo, got another K11LT, BUT... the wiring on the ignition switch has broken at the switch end, meaning its like havin ...

Got a problem. My bike failed it's mot as neither the parking or tail lights were working. When I checked, they both worked UNTIL I MOVED THE HANDLEBARS, when they both went out. The dip and main beam ...

Bmwblock - now that's an idea I hadn't thought of. And thanks to all.

Drikko - wrong sort of leak..... I get lots of things from riding my bike, but that ain't one of them. Well, not since a certain girl long ago, but that's a different story. Very Happy

Hi, I have a Corbin seat fitted to my LT but there is a slight problem. Water gets into it via the outer seam (I think). Then it gives me a U shape wet mark mostly on my thighs. There are no rips, t ...

Have you tried RS Bike Paint in Barnsley? They're on the web. Used them a couple of times for touch up and the match was perfect.

Hi Neal,

Just to give you some encouragement, I too have spinal cord damage thanks to a crash at 18 which has left me partially paralysed from the waist. 31 years later I have my second LT I ride e ...

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. As luck would have it, as I was looking at the problem a fellow LT rider pulled up and asked what the problem was. Following a serious spraying with silicone ...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, they are deeply appreciated. To cut a long story short, the guy at the garage did check the switch etc in my presence, as I like to watch what they do so I have a bet ...

How do I get to it please? Done a search and looked at the repair manual which confused the living **** out of me.

Is there an easy (ish) way? I need to clean and lube it as it sticks. The switch ...

Turns out that that it seems I need thicker oil. The pressure is ok but on letting the engine tick over and get hot the light came on. The mechanic thinks that it's a simple case of engine wear as th ...

I need some input on this please guys.

I recently had a new sprag clutch, clutch and a major service done on my '93 LT. The oil used for the engine was semi synthetic 10/40.

On checking the o ...

The BT45's aren't new at all, they've been out for some years. I have had them on my LT and they are ok. 14K miles on the back and 18K on the front. The grip is good in the dry and wet, but I recen ...

Thanks for all the info, it's much appreciated. I was asking as I had never heard of a 'power chip' for the early K11's until I saw the ad. I'm not really bothered about upping the power as I'm happ ...

I thought that was the case, but I thought I'd ask as I know that there are chips (I.e. power commander) for some of the R types.

Sounds like the rad cap to me. If there's no great loss from the header/overflow tank I can't think of anything else, and a K100RS I had some years ago did something similar which was down to a knacke ...

Anyone ever heard of such a thing for the k1100? I ask as someone on eBay uk is claiming to sell them for early K11's. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I found myself in a similar situation last December when the sprag clutch went. For a few reasons I had to get the job done by a local specialist. I asked him to put a new clutch in, new timing chai ...
