Are you sure it has a cat? Does it have an O2 sensor? I think only the ones with O2 sensors have cats. I didn't think the K100RS4Vs came with a cat but they show in the parts catalog so maybe some of the later ones did.

I've seen several mentions in various places that the K1100LT was the first motorcycle to have a cat.

Of the three K100RS4V bikes I merged to build mine, two 91s and a 92, none of them had a cat.

Just because it has that big thing under the tranny doesn't mean that it has a cat.

OK, further info. (sometimes I need to actually read what is in front of my eyes)


Went down to look things over. My '92 is on the lift since I did tires/wheels swap yesterday.

It has an oxygen sensor and the big fat thing behind the trans (cat?).

AND- staring me right in the face (boy do I feel stupid) is the frame mounted tag that identifies it being in compliance with Canada regulations.

I knew that the K100 4V bikes were a sort of bridge between the K100 2V and the later K1100.

But is that a cat in my exhaust? and is there anything else different about my '92 that I didn't know about?

Maybe some OG folks from north of the border have more info?

In the European market a cat was offered as an available option on the 4V (RS/K1) models from 09/90.
From 10/91 it became standard fitted, and a unregulated cat without a lambda sensor was available
as an option to other models.
