I am on my third K1100 LT. just purchased another one this year, after one wore out, and the other had an electrical fire after a lot of gravel road time.

It only has 31,000 miles on it, and I ha ...

Thanks Guys. The water heat sensor was about 200 ohms off. New one in, and 400 miles of Colorado mountain riding today. Independence Pass to Aspen.

Thanks Drake. I planned to test it, putting it in boiling water makes sense, I will do that.

Thanks.

Thank you Scott

I am pretty sure that 15 is the sensor that the BMW shop has. I will pull it apart in the morning and check these.

1997 K1100LT 123000 miles ran like a dream, rarely broke

1994 K1100LT 60,000 breaks all the time.

fuel filter is new, and the tank had been emptied.

All checked electrical connections were fine. I am an electrician, so trust me...I know that doesn't mean they all are.....but in Colorado we don ...

Last month the problem was the bike would cut out...replaced the Hall Effect Sensor with new. Didn't fix the problem. Changed out the computer for another used one...it worked GREAT!!!!

Thanks Scott

It definitely doesn't allow it to start. I took it for a ride last night, and all was well, so maybe it was a low battery.

Headed to those wild and wonderful colorado twisties....s ...

So my 94 K1100 LT has a Security system that my little clicker thing doesn't work anymore. Which is no big deal....but...it occasionally decides I am stealing it. Horns honk, it won't start, and I h ...

It appears it is the Hall Effect Sensor.

This is the second one of these I have lost. One on a bike with 123,000 miles, ( I was third owner, not sure it hadn't failed before)

Now this one with ...

I found a couple old links on here as well. It really does act like it is a fuel filter. I went through the list of things mainly because the Hall thingy..is PRICEY and the LAST thing on this list. ...

Old bike did this exact same thing. This one is now doing it too. It warms up, and then starts cutting out. I can usually fight it and get it back, as I didn't get far from the house....but it is l ...

Thank you sir.

Do you have one of those Helix sensor's for a 97K1100LT?

Probably can't do it until house finishes closing, but beginning to shop.

Thanks
Ken

OK, this spring is NOT being good for work.

Last fall we determined on here that my Helix sensor? was bad, because when it got warmed up it would turn itself off, and had to wait 15-20 minutes, it ...

Thanks.

The mechanic who did the work is a good guy, with 25 years of being a BMW mechanic. I took a separate clutch assembly I got off of here, and so he had it if he thought he needed it.
