My first LT leaned too far over and upon investigation it became obvious that the side stand was a bent a bit upwards. My current LT sits up quite a bit higher with a nice straight stand. I was going ...

Yep, my bike's ABS alternating flash mode started coming on when the weather here got cold. I had the battery tested planning on replacing it but the BMW shop's fancy tester said the battery was okay. ...

A knock that's audible at idle and goes away with increasing rpms can be due to unbalanced throttle bodies on a EFI engine or carbs on a carbureted bike. Both my previous K1100LT with 80,000 miles and ...

Yep, there's no way around it, these old K bikes are downright good lookin' machines.

I'm old, cranky and don't do anything I don't feel like doing. I ride a twenty year old bike which is holding up a damn site better than I am. One of the best things about being old and retired is tha ...

I splurged a bit and bought a set of quick disconnects so I don't have to remove the fuel lines, just disconnect them. Makes for very quick and easy tank removal.

Both bikes look good but to me the RS takes first place. The Guzzi looks great if you have cold knees.

Even if it didn't qualify for an official "Iron Butt" ride I'd say the achievement was more difficult than a sanctioned 1000 mile ride. Hard physically and mind numbing as well.

On a wet or sandy surface you don't have to "grab and stomp" to engage the ABS. If you apply the brakes enough to make a wheel slip that's all it takes. I was slowing down gradually approach ...

I never had a faired bike until I bought my first Goldwing in '03. It didn't take long for me to realize the value of a windshield though. I had one on my Cushman and the Triumph. Riding on the desert ...

A '1950 Cushman scooter, my first bike with a motor. More or less. It was a deathtrap but I loved it and learned a lot keeping it going.

My first bike was a '49 Triumph Thunderbird. A Franken bike ...

Sometimes one just has to mention what a fine bike the K1100LT is. I was doubtful that I did the right thing when I sold my '06 Goldwing 1800 and bought a twenty year old K bike. One reason was the GW ...

I keep a plug that I can use to bypass the side stand switch if I have a problem with it. I had to tweak the switch operating lever on my bike last month, it was operating the switch intermittently. T ...

I've done the 'butt first' method of lifting on the GL1500 and GL1800. The last time the 1800 had full bags and trunk. I'd just filled the tank and pulled to bike away from the pump to park while I we ...

Yes indeed, I agree heartily with that advice. I used to do a little clock repair now and then but age hasn't helped with working with the small stuff.

Thanks guys, that's pretty much what I thought, same as my GW1800. One of these days I'll take that cluster apart and take a look at the dial face to see where the binding is occurring. But not for a ...

Good info on keeping the heaters on high. I never thought of it and tended to keeping them on low to prevent overheating. Thanks.
Just as a matter of information my '94LT with 78k miles and my '95LT ...

Had an odd occurrence today. I was scooting down the road and noticed my tach apparently was stuck at 3100. I kicked in the clutch and revved the engine up and down a bit but the tach needle was immob ...

Just wondering has anyone tried bar backs or risers on the LT? It's not too bad as is but would be a bit more comfortable with my arthritis if they were a bit higher and closer.
