The bulb monitoring relay is an example of needless complexity. I'm going to study the schematic with a EE friend of mine and see if I can safely remove the relay from the circuit.


It did tell you something was wrong though.

The irony is there would be nothing wrong if I didn't have the monitoring relay in circuit. I don't understand BMW. Something like an oil pressure gauge would be much more useful.

I ordered a replacement relay off eBay. Hopefully, it will solve the problem. If not, I'll bypass the relay.

I sold the bike. Problem solved.

I explained the issue to the buyer and gave him the replacement bulb monitoring relay I bought off eBay. The buyer was so elated to find such a clean example of a K11 that he said the bulb monitor didn't matter. He said that if the replacement relay doesn't solve the problem, he'll simply bypass the relay.
