K11 Owners Group

Sounds like you owned a K11 and 4V K100 back-to-back. How would you compare them?
I found the K100s to be prettier, the reduce tupperware made service easier, and they throw off less heat, but the K ...

John, thanks for looking. I'm afraid I don't recall who the other guy was. I was a lengthy debate into which we both entered rather late.
My inability to find it here makes me question whether or n ...

I was invovled in a discussion on this site, about 6 months ago (I think). It was a comparison of the plus/minuses of K11s versus K12s.
Bottom line is that a fellow K1200RS owner posted that he ha ...

Many of us run auxiliary lights on our bikes for just this reason. If the headlight goes out, you have something to fall back on. But really good ones and you'll never notice if the headlight is on ...

I hear the "can't find a good K11" story often. I don't remember what the actual sales numbers looked like, but I'd bet on lack of good K11s on market being due, at least in part, to their ...

If you already have the forks off the bike, I'd recommend you take the lower sliders off the tubes. With them off you can clean the bottom of the sliders. You will be amazed at the amount of crud th ...

I have to disagree with the previous posting about all K11's having the 50 amp alternator. The 50 amps came in with the higher demands of the ABSII system, which didn't hit the K1100Ss until 1994. T ...

No, sounds like you got it. The lowers I was referring to are the sliders.
Everytime I work on someone's bike I make a point of showing them the goop that gets past the fork seals and ends up at the ...

I have wanted to put a light by the oil sight glass wired to a momentary switch mounted on the dash somewhere. Guess I never found time for that...

Or just keep one of those cheap mini one LED fla ...

Let me add that if you haven't done it lately, you would be well advised to pull the fork lowers off and actually clean them out. Once you see the crap that comes out of them, you won't ask why.
A b ...

The bike is off to a happy new owner in NH.

Whilest I figure out how to delete a posting, I wanted to let you know the bike has gone under deposit. Fingers crossed; seems like he'll be a good new owner.

Randy, thanks for the picture hosting offer. What I would prefer is to figure out how to just stick some picture up right here. Copy and paste hasn't worked for me. Any clues? The "Img" ...

Steve,

I'd post pix here, but don't see it being done and figured it's not. I once had some pictures on a share site, but that became an upkeep hassle. If you want to get me your email address I' ...

A sweet 1996 K1100RS Special Edition (a decal!) with only 24,000 miles. Red, with hardbags (keyed), Gen II ABS, heated grips, and all the regular later-model stuff. In great shape with a gorgeous sh ...
