K11 Owners Group

I had a severe problem one night in the mid nineties riding back from Newcastle to London on my "trusty" £100 CX500, twenty years old even then, burning a gallon of oil per day of courierin ...

I wore clutches out on K's in no time at all, until I had to replace one. Then, I changed my riding style (No more super-fast pullaways) and am convinced that theoretically they can last forever.

Thanks! Little tips like this help lots. Are you sure it was the TPS and not the idle adjuster though?

A bit late to the party here, but what I did was lop the end off the "barrel" shaped plastic bit on my satnav charger - don't lose any of the circuitry in that compartment - and connected th ...

I just had mine tuned by BMW Park Lane, at massive cost. Boy was it worth it - fuel consumption and power are now smile, rather than frown material.

However, the vibration is part of our lives, and ...

Thanks for that. I might also add that many short journeys/town work can make a *massive* impact too.

Though this is coming from a Brit living in London Smile

Glad I logged in and saw this..

Look, if you do have to get another (More reliable, possibly less interesting) bike, for God's sake stick around - you've kept my morale up through the hassles I've ...

Well thanks for the wealth of advice (Apart from Shog's most unhelpful comment about her fuel consumption Wink

).

She's in the shop today being pored over and investigated. Fingers crossed that my me ...

Thanks - yes, the battery change could be the culprit. I think I'm going to try and press for fault-code readings when I go to the workshop. From the manual, apparently there's a code "1111" ...

I've had mine on for a year now without it falling off, the secret is to clean the area of attachment with degreaser and lick the cup before attaching.

Hi guys and gals. I know I've been one to bitch about my BM in the past, but she's been really good to me lately..

The problem is, that MPG has been dropping. I had the air filter and battery repl ...

I like the RS lettering Sad

Although it, quite hilariously, reads like "Arse" in the UK. Laughing

A: Join the club

B: Don't worry about it

All that I've had tend to smoke a bit when cold, full stop.

Enjoy the RS, you'll love it.

K's knock at idle, especially when cold or at a slightly low idle. Don't worry about it. It's normally the output gearing/clutch. I've got an old K100RT that has more of a BANG than a knock, yet it's ...

Has anyone with an RS found out their top speed?

(it ain't gonna be me- I roadraced for 2 seasons 30 years ago, but not anymore...)

I've had an indicated 142mph. Very optimistic speedos though f ...

And plus all that, ride as you are invvisible to all car drivers.
Don't pass 3 seconds withouth look in the rearview mirrors.
Use your horn everytime!
Never stay on the side a car or truck more tha ...
