K11 Owners Group

For quite a long time now, I have been having intermittent problems with the front brake 'sticking on' from rest, ie, after being in the garage for a week or so.
So, after stripping the front calipe ...

This from the K1100 workshop manual, which I have on disk....

Coat stop screw (1) with Loctite 270 and screw in
until handlebar lever is free of play, then turn by a
further half turn.

Cheers mate! It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one with this problem!!
Having not had the full master cylinder off yet, can you tell me how the hell you get to the pin that supports the l ...

Thanks for that Charles. I have already done all you have suggested, (replaced the piston/and seals, cleaned out the cylinder etc), as well as replacing the brake switch, but to no avail. What seems t ...

Hi Guys,
Sorry, not been around for a while. Had a summer of discontent revolving around (and around) the front brakes.
Take the front wheel off, put it back on. Right hand caliper binding. Strip e ...

Thanks for that. I will give it a try at speed, and see how it feels. Really odd that it's not mentioned anywhere in the owners manual, plenty on the LT screen.

Does anyone know what the heck difference adjusting the small top screen airfoil on the K11RS makes?? Theres nothing about it in the manual, and I cant seem to see any difference when riding. What was ...

Another good one is asking an American if he/she would like to lay the table. I got some strange looks once when I offered to do just that in mixed company whilst visiting relations in San Diego.

Slick 50 is snake oil - or worse.

Settlement with FTC over thier lies:
This conclusion seems to be borne out by tests on oil additives containing PTFE conducted by the NASA Lewis Research Center, ...

So whats the UK dealer price for a full service now, any ideas??

Thanks for that, guys. The bike is a '95, and came with the short 'C' spanner, (no line). The toolkit is mint and complete, but no sign of a 'L' shaped piece of metal. The riders handbook details the ...

There isn't one listed in the toolkit, and there wasnt one in mine, but thats sorted now that I have the K100 spanner.

Edit: But your dealer sounds mighty suspicous.

Yes, your right there!! AND ...

Disclaimer: I'm only suggesting that you do this if you're confident enough in your riding skills to do it without dumping your bike.. i.e. That you can keep a bike upright and in a straight line wi ...

I decided to check the gearbox oil level when I first bought the K. The non-BMW workshop manual (K100, couldn't get a K1100 book, but have since got hold of one on disk,) said 'use suspension 'C' span ...

My riders handbook says the following: (Page 16) ABS SWITCH> (Optional extra) ABS cancel button. On page 26 the switch is classed as ABS accept switch.
I was led to believe that on European models ...

My K1100 has a switch on the panel that dis-ables the ABS. Dont they all have that??? I have noticed one or two with a spot light switch as well. My three are..Heated grips, four way hazard flashers, ...

Hi peeps, I'm new to the forum as well, so thought I would comment on this one. Had my RS for four years now, (53,000 on the clock,) and oil usage has been slight, but erratic. However, I have noticed ...
