The stock warning bulbs are 3W. The 4W bulbs are for the two turn signal bulbs.

I run LEDs in my K11 clusters. They're 0.2W. And they're early LEDs so they are polarized and don't allow a reverse ...

Green wire which is switched power to the instrument cluster.

The Motronic grounds the coolant temp warning bulb to illuminate it.

160 is about normal for a K.

You can adjust when the fuel light comes on without bending the float rod. (Which is tempered and very hard to bend.)

You need to remove the fuel level sender from t ...

The temp sensor on the bottom of the water pump does not impact operation AT ALL. It only feeds the temp gauge.

The Motronic ECU reads the temp of the coolant coming off of the cylinder head's exit ...

How many miles are the tires warrantied for? I've read that EVs eat tires more quickly due to the weight.

Here's how NO (normally open) relays, like the relays in a K, work:

When you have 12V at 86 and ground at 85 it energizes a coil that connects the source, usually 12V at pin 30 to the output pin 87 ...

If your fan comes on at 80F then there is something wrong with your K1100.

Here's how the cooling system is designed to work:

The radiator fan should not come on until the coolant temperature reaches 221F.

Current flows through the fuel pump. That's what makes it run. If it didn't have continuity between the pos and neg terminals then it wouldn't run.

The axle should have a decent coat of grease on it.

When the end of the axle gets to the left fork does it enter the hole in the left fork at all?

Does the axle go through without the wheel? If ...
