Thanks Duck (as usual). Will do. - Blake

Friends:

After start up, the hazard light (exclamation mark in a red triangle) on the instrument panel of '93 K1100RS normally stays on until I tap both brakes. Then it normally turns off (just li ...

Anyone got a half dozen or so of the bolts used to connect the lower engine cowling to the fairing? No idea where they went. Used perfectly OK. Thanks. - Blake

Thanks. I've decided to try this method. At $40 inc s/h from Germany it seems like a good deal.

Hey all,

I've just completed my first fiberglass fairing repair. Is there a rattle can brand/color that matches Mystic Red as closely as possible? I've heard you can get custom spray cans made. Ha ...

A couple years ago some yahoo in their jacked-up pickup backed into my 1993 Mystic Red K1100rs. Said yahoo knocked the left mirror off (no big deal: it popped right in just like it's supposed to) and ...

Thanks again Duck. It was full of gunk and cleaned up nicely. Now's it back to its old self. - Blake

I've just installed a rebuild kit on my front brake after experiencing substantial leaking. Now, my throttle is sticking. I'm assuming some DOT 4 got into the assembly. Is this a typical response to a ...

Sorry I'm late to this thread and if the OP has resolved then good for them.

I'm reminded of the issues I had with my fuel system several years ago (described here):

Well our old friend Brute Force worked....thanks for that, Duck!

I have a vague memory from many years ago when my brake lever was sticky, and I had to do the same damn thing to lube up that same ...

Thanks Duck!

The Allen head is plenty exposed: I'm able to unscrew it so about 1/4" is exposed. Then turning it does nothing: it just spins and spins. I know there's a bushing inside (part #6 ...

For what it's worth, I'm referring to the bolt in step #9:

Hey All,

It's been years since I've posted here...mainly because 1). I haven't been riding much, and 2). bike's been fine. But I just had brake fluid leaking from just under the lever so I figured ...

Thanks.

I used corn starch to soak up the oil, swept it out, and then used a kitchen degreaser to clean it up. Fortunately, it was only on the metal part of the trailer and it cleaned up fine. Sin ...

FWIW:

Upon further inspection, it has actually leaked out of the top part of the fork at the seal. The fork is oily and the oil ran down the outer tube to the bottom and then dripped onto the floor ...

Hey All,

I just moved my 1993 K1100RS cross country in a semi trailer with a pile of other household items. I did not drain it. However, it turns out that The Dummy Who Loaded It (or his minions) ...

OMG.

It was just pointed out to me that I drive a Mystic Red K1100RS and I live in (as of August, 2016)....Mystic, CT. Wow. Mind blown.

Awesome! I see a summer project in my future. - Blake

I thought I'd bump this one up there. I used a local Honda lawnmower shop for this tire a year ago and didn't feel good about it. Now I've got new front rubber and sure would appreciate a recommendati ...

I have a new Bridgestone rear on the way and I'm in a new area with no relationship to a local shop. Any recs? Thanks. - Blake
