Sounds like the brass slider wear "bushing" came loose from either the top or bottom.
The bottom one attaches on the chrome slider, and the top one is internal to the stanchion.
It's poss ...

I've seen a hack with a "piano hinge" but that kind of defeats the purpose of the "break away" feature of the original design, and being able to "rehinge" on the side of ...

Yep BTDT. My '97 sat for 6 years(long story). I put a battery and fresh gas on it and it fired right up. I was impressed to say the least.

Well, if it's been non operational that long, you might as well just unplug the multi-pin connector on the side of the ABS unit. That should disconnect the the warning lights from the unit.
If you wa ...

2 things come to my mind to check on.
1st would be the ABS warning relay and circuits.
2nd would be the ignition switch, get some electric contact cleaner and clean the contacts as much as possible.

Well, too large(wide) of a gap can cause the ABS to not "calibrate" when rolling out and giving you alternating flashing fault lights.

Not to assume, what is your brake fluid level in the ...

When you turn on the ignition switch, does the brake warning light come on?
If it comes on, does it then turn off after you test BOTH the front/rear brake switches? or does it turn off after only one ...

Sounds to me like the switch contacts are dirty. It's not impossible to disassemble the switch contacts, however it is very easy to loose pieces when doing it.
I'd recommend just removing the switch ...

More often than not, riders will just add a small foot to the end of the stand to help it stand taller, in addition to updating the bushing/bolt as they will wear and increase the lean angle with age. ...

Sanjiv, the only thing that comes to my mind could be that you have too much sealant between the pump casting and the block.
You could pull the pump and do a "dry fit" with NO sealant just ...

Yes there are damper cartridges in both forks, however the one for the right side fork has different internals in it. That's why it takes less oil on a oil change(when not full disassembled)
I have a ...

My coolant temp light always comes on when I turn on the ignition as a "lamp check". It goes out as soon as the motor starts.

I resent the doc. Not sure why it didn't go through.

I'm going to e-mail you a couple of Motronic documents from BMW.
They include information on the older K's and R series bikes, so you have be sure to read the sections carefully to make sure you are ...

With your wiring, do you also have the air temperature sensor connected?
The factory sensor would have been located in the top of the air-box.
I have not seen a fuel management system yet that does ...

My guess for multiple seal leaks would be worn bearings, just enough that the seal isn't mating properly on the shaft surface.

Unless BMW changed the thermostat design, which I doubt, this is what mine look like. 17 11 1 460 716

When you say you installed a radiator off of a k100, by chance did you notice how thick it was.
The standard k1100 radiator has only 2 cross cores. Some k100 radiators had 3 cross cores for more heat ...

Do a search for "cyclonic", you will come up with a number of posts to review.
Sadly some of them are now without pictures(thanks to photobucket changes) but you should still find what you ...

If the shipping wouldn't be a bank breaker anymore, I have a Corbin I'm no longer using since I have a Russell.
