Great, thx again. Will just invest in the output seal for now and commit to a few hours of garage fun. Although, probably ought to invest in a new set of brake pads as sell, since mine have had a th ...

good link - thanks.

Is the input seal easy and worth doing at the same time as preventative maintenance or am I just asking for trouble? Thinking of getting a couple of the brake disc retaining sc ...

As title, my rear brake disc is getting covered in a film of oil after about 100 miles. I assume it's the bevel box output seal. Is this a home DIY job? I'm reasonable competent but don't have acce ...

OK - fixed (for now) but I've no idea what the cause was.

Spent a few more hours unplugging and re-plugging connectors, cleaning contacts etc. No obvious signs of a problem there.

However, I di ...

Great ideas - please keep them coming. By way of response:

I'll persevere for a while longer before trying to get it anywhere and spending real money. I have a car I can use as a fall back so not ...

Thanks. I've read elsewhere about the spot of red point that covers the vital grub screw so will see how I fare tonight with that.

Thanks Flying Duck.

I've had the tank off and pulled/replaced all relays and fuses. All look clean and dry. Also discovered a couple of earth points - again all look sound. But still no starting ...

Thanks for the quick response. Is there a main fuse which could kill everything and if so where is it? I can't really start to diagnose anything else until I can get some signs of life back!

Hi – looking for advice please. ’96 k11 rs with 55k on clock. Been running rough for the last couple of weeks – coughing and spluttering intermittently when moving, and dying when stationary un ...

OK - some progress. Removed master cylinder. Piston and seals looked OK but there was a ridge of hardened brake fluid in the bore. Possibly evidence of bike standing for a while. Cleaned up, and t ...

Thanks for the responses. S/h master cylinder hopefully on the way from a fellow forum member. I'll also order an overhaul kit and fit it to whichever cylinder looks the best.

Re knocking noise, ...

Hi again,
Used to hang aroud these parts up to 2.5 yrs ago when my k1100rs was written off in an accident. Now I'm back with a ... k1100rs! My first return to riding after my bump.

Bought a '96 ...

Thanks all for your concerns.

Bruising etc 95% healed and well on the way to full (physical) recovery now. Been paid out for the bike and now "enjoying" a car instead.

This thread has ...

Three weeks ago while commuting home a car pulled out in front of me, from a junction on the left. I was initially doing about 50mph (the speed limit on the road) but guess I had managed to slow to a ...

My last bike was an r1100rs with the telelever front end. Changing fork seals was a doddle (15 mins per side, all done from the top, wheel etc attached). My k1100rs seals are now leaking and it'll b ...

Re poly bag, since I figure that the only way water can get in is through the filler cap, the poly bag would stop any rain ingress. (This is, assuming the fuel wasn't contaminated in the first place, ...

SORTED! And the answer was......water in the fuel.

Had the brainwave last night, so this morning drained tank and dried with cloth, changed fuel filter, fresh fuel with some drying agent and just ...

and having just tried, my home-made elec connection to the pump gives the same results.

OK fitted a new (second hand) HES and ...... still exactly the same. Cutting out after 10 miles or so from cold. Then rough running or cutting out continuously. Will now try to by pass the tank conne ...

Thanks for the continued support - I need it after today. First 10 miles - fine, then stopping every 200yds in traffic, or mile or so on open road. Starts up again after a 5 min cool down.

Have o ...
