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.

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)

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.

With your wiring, do you also have the air temperature sensor connected?

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 ...
