I'm selling my '97 K1100LT I've had since it had 12,000 miles on it. Been my regular ride for the past handful of years.

Good runner, maintained by myself with some ear ...

Took the K on a tour of some of Eastern Oregon, primarily Sierra Nevada regions of Calif, last week. I have a brief writeup and photos here:

Enjoy!

Any road reports on this tire yet?

Also, curious when y'all think a set of tires is done for (aside from belts and a ground off nail visible through the worn rubber - been there) Smile

I've got ...

I've had very good results with the audiovox, assuming you can still find one of these units for sale somewhere. I put the vacuum canister under the seat, not in the toolkit compartment. Works a tre ...

My BMW parts guy returned my call about fitting these on a K1100LT and said the front PR3 would not be available until mid-March. Also said going to the 150/70zr-17 size on the rear, well, this tire ...

Easy question for someone better at electric things than I am:

I'm finally getting around to installing bikevis bullet lights on da k1100LT.

Thought I'd wire them into the headlight wires, so th ...

Just take the bracket on the servo and shove it in with the ABS brain. Take a look at the Tech Sticky thread to see how I did that on a K100RS4V.

If you have one of the stock seat pans that stic ...

I have a BMW tank bag on my K1100. It's a nice bag, but the quasi-elastic straps that stretch down and clip onto the bottom of the tank are both pretty threadbare and about to give.

Has anyone had ...

I was seeing similar probs on startup on my 97 K1100LT, new battery seems to have fixed the problem for me.

Thanks. I'll just ride it this summer for sure, maybe get it dealt with next rainy/cold season Wink

The spline lube was done with Guard Dog, I ordered that based on recommendations found on K11OG.

Thanks for the suggestions on probable cause. Might have a clutch in my future sounds like... Damn ...

My '97 K11 commonly doesn't downshift easily. Going up through the gears is no problem. Blipping the throttle when downshifting seems to work, but I'd rather be able to downshift w/o having to do th ...

I plan on comming up.

Drake what are the "Must ride" routes?
I plan on running up Hwy 97 like I did for Nakusp a couple of years ago.

Make the requisite stop @ Cratar Lake.

I jus ...

My negative observations and concerns are: lighter weight converts to wobbly frame behind semis at speed,

Not much you can do about that

The other way to look at that, is it's an excuse to ma ...

Thanks Scott for the excellent picture and description, I really appreciate it.

I have done some disassembly on my 97K1100LT to farkle-up and in the process of getting to the throttle body, had to yard out the rubbery bit on the left-hand side between fairing and manifold. I'll ...

The true road to happiness is probably getting one of each. At least one. Laughing

You can do it in a weekend. I would suggest that you pop the clutch nut off and install a new o-ring. Mine was a few years older and it was hard as coal and just as brittle. Cheap insurance.

Last couple of rides, hard (impossible) to downshift sometimes _but_ blipping the throttle and it will downshift easy enough.

Bike's a '97 LT with only 13k miles.

It seems the symptoms match th ...
