K11 Owners Group

For anyone interested, Motorworks have just posted the following message on Facebook:

'We are very pleased to announce that due to changes in our insurance, we can now sell NEW PARTS to the USA and ...

Hi Chris
As the others have said, good to hear that you're OK.

I would look at what similar bikes are going for on Ebay, Piston Heads and in Motorcycle News, as you are the best judge of what co ...

I used the method described in the link below to recalibrate my K1100RS speedometer. I couldn't get the soldering iron trick to work but I just adjusted the potentiometer as described and checked the ...

Mine stripped as well, so I hammered a torx bit into the stripped hole and used heat also.

Sorry, must read other posts properly. Should read: it may be possible to get ABS II repaired in Japan as well......

Hi Terry, I may be able to help a little with the second question, as my K1100RS came with a fan switch fitted. It is wired into the relay box under the fuel tank and IIRC, the fan relay is the secon ...

Thanks Tim, yes, got the socket set - kept dropping the allen drive bit down the back of the starter motor, not one of my better days. Embarassed

Lots of work has taken place in my cramped, over-warm shed. The bulb monitor has been re-fitted and is now working fine. 'New' braided front brake lines were fitted and the brakes successfully bled, ...

My 57k K1100rs has provided me with enough tinkering to last me for a long time. A full week spent working on it only scratched the surface. All depends on the previous owner(s), I suppose. And whi ...

Thanks Ernie (in USA) - clearly you noticed I hadn't caught on to that one. Too many thoughts of jobs to do on the K flying round in what's left of my brain.

The German site does look good - and G ...

Hello Ernie, I'm in Cumbria (Askam in Furness) near the Lake District. I have been using (formerly) a printed, model specific wiring diagram from the internet and more recently exactly the same diagr ...

Thanks Jim, agree this is the best biker website I've found. Slowly getting the brick sorted and enjoying riding as I go along.

Update: a second hand ignition switch restored power to the parking light fuse (and got rid of several potential shorts, as the original switch had no plastic cover on the bottom and, until recently, ...

I made the following inquiry about a final drive unit on Ebay:

'Hi, do you know how many miles on the bike this item was taken from please?'

This was the reply:

'dear sir/madam, sorry we dont ...

Hi, sorry if this is a bit long winded but it's a long story. Those who have followed my newbie efforts on 'Campfire' may remember that on my K1100rs I have no power input to the parking light fuse a ...

Sorry, that should read 'on a recent thread'....

Thanks Paul. Tim has unwittingly helped again, as on an old thread he explains how the wires from the ignition switch can break inside the insulation. Could this be why my parking light power is los ...

Electrical fiddling was one of the previous owners' mission in life, I think. I nearly had a fit when I opened the relay box. I've never seen so many wires and relays, badly crimped connections wher ...
