I just used a bleed pipe with non-return valve, and did the ABS modulator then the rear caliper, then repeated. And when the system had presuure, the hose to the caliper split! So check care ...

Fitted a new master cylinder plus Goodrich hoses. Everything fitted, despite the master cylinder having a different connector i.e. the original was a 'straight' fit (US spec), as opposed to a right-a ...

As I said in post #10
Damian, pull back the rubber at the front end of the cylinder, see if it's wet with fluid. Order a repair kit. 34 31 2 311 064.

That, Chas, is why your Reservoir was empty ...

Hi Chas!
Between the calipper halves it`s a o-ring which probably have come out of position when you did loosen the wrong bolts.
But you could be lucky, and only got air into the system............. ...

I have a similar problem with my '93 RS. I took the rear caliper off to check the pads, inadvertantly loosening the bolts holding the caliper halves together. I tightened those bolts again, and afte ...

I couldn't find anything specifically about Finland, so can anyone tell me what ratio of coolant/water my K100RS needs here in Helsinki? The temperature can occasionally get as low as -30 degrees cel ...

GM used timing gears with a plastic/nylon coating on them to keep them quiet. I believe the plastic bits found in your oil pan arebits of timing gear. Time new timing chain and gears!

GM? Or BM? ...

I've just taken my '93 K1100RS (mileage 54,000 miles) to the dealers for new tyres and an oil change, and they found some pieces of plastic in the oil Shocked

The pieces are very tough, about 1/4 inc ...

Have got another issue with poppin and banging on the overrun so will check that out at the same time

This might just mean the exhaust/silencer gasket needs replacing.

Update:

Finally got it fixed Laughing

I tried a new reset switch and second-hand relays - no change. Then the bike went in for a service (not a BMW dealer, but they seem to know their stuff). So I ...

I'll try the bike again next week when I'm back for the weekend (I'm working away). Can anyone confirm the reset procedure for ABS1?

I often get an ABS flashing issue whenever I remove and re-install the wheels. Maybe check the gap clearance at the front sensor and see if it's in spec. Maybe even loosen the front wheel and jigg ...

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for awhile? Sometimes that will reset things.

I've tried that, but only for 10 minutes. I'll try it for longer.

Not as likely, but the gap clearances ...

The lights flash together until you ride off and it has a chance to test the sensors. If you're getting an error code at the diagnostic plug then it's in fault mode.

Thanks. I'd forgotten if they ...

Can anyone confirm the meaning of the ABS warning lights (ABS 1)? Should they be on solidly when the ignition is turned on, and flashing if there is a fault?

Anyone? The instructions at http://ww ...

Sounds like your ABS brain might be fried. Try resetting it every few days and it MAY come back to life.

Fried? By using an Optimate?

Any tips on resetting? I tried grounding pin2, then switc ...

I've had to do an ABS reset once in th ...

Swapped the relays around - now the horns are working.

My horn were a little"reluctant" to work when I first got my bike a couple of months ago,intermittently failing to sound.I tried some switch cleaner

That's the first thing I tried, but ...

I've pulled the temperature gauge and can now get at the RH horn. Applying a live feed makes the horn work, so it looks like a wiring issue. Still can't find the green/grey wire from the relay to th ...
