Okey Dokey then. Neve mind. Smile

I want to set up my preload on a stock, BMW, rear shock on a '93 K1100LT. Anyone know the total travel on that shock? I would guess about 20% of that would be a good preload setting for general one up ...

I've had the tank pulled back before for accessing the radiator cap and a few other things. I'll definitely try it that way first. Again, I just don't know yet how far back the connection is. I'm gues ...

Yes, I did check the gap, and it's fine. I mashed that sensor cable, and I am getting a code 3, front sensor fault. It's the sensor.

I thought I would need to remove the left lower fairing and knee pad to get to the fuel lines. And yes, I have a nearly full tank. I plan to go run most of that out before I begin though.

I'm used ...

Got one. Thanks everybody. If a moderator can take this down, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the feedback. It takes me more than five minutes just to remove the left side tupperware and the seat. Smile

If I remove the tank completely, do I need to depressurize the system before d ...

I need a front ABS sensor for an early 93 K1100LT. It's part# 34522305056.

If you follow the wire up the left fork leg, the wire is tie wrapped to the front brake line that goes up under the headlight. On a LT you have to remove the black plastic flap under the headlight a ...

My clymers manual is not very helpful here. It simply says, "disconnect the electrical wire from the wiring harness." Hmmm, does anyone know where the front ABS sensor wire connects into the ...

Thanks for the help. I refilled with 400cc's per side, and all seems to be working great as far as the new seals and bushings go.

Unfortunately, I managed to pinch my front sensor wire between the ...

Fill as per the disassembly quantities.

The 50cc of a difference between the two measurements is what pours out of the one leg when you undo the allen bolt holding the lower stanchions in place.

A few weeks ago, I set out to simply replace the seals and install gators on my K1100LT forks. Unfortunately, I got everything jammed up on one side when a lower bushing got deformed. I was able to re ...

Never mind! Got it! Heating the slider allowed me to get it off. Lower bushing was pushed out of place and jammed. All else seems fine, so I'm ordering a second set of seals, and upper and lower bush ...

Well, don't take a cutting wheel to it, or you will be replacing it for sure.
You may have to remove the entire fork assy out of the bike to be able to attain the force needed to separate the lower ...

I went to replace my leaking fork seals today on my '93 K1100LT. The job went very well, until I installed the right lower. As I was sliding it on, it got bound up somehow. It would not go up all the ...

And put a set of fork gaiters in there when you are at it.
(Somebody had to say it) Very Happy

Already in the parts pile.

All good tips about removing the Allen bolts. Not a place that I had anticipated any problems. I'm hoping to get to this on Saturday, if I don't have time, it may be 3 or 4 weeks. Either way, I'll let ...

What position do you have the lever adjuster at. 1 gives the least amount of lever travel, 4 is the most.

I don't mean to step on this thread, but does my 93 KLT have this feature? I've never fou ...

Great. That's what I do to work on the front brake, front wheel removal etc. I just got looking at it and didn't know if I'd be able to slide those lowers out of there. Looks like I'm set.
