Hmmm- I thought I posted a reply- I wonder where..?

Mr Duck- If you are ever passing near Detroit, I'm buying the beer. Suitable threats and persuasion did indeed remove the silly bolt and the sil ...

Life has been busy with medical stuff and my poor 1993 K1100LT has been sadly neglected. The front master cylinder had a bit of a leak, I've had no time to fix it. Now I have a bit of time, so I ord ...

I was able to get to TechShop today & use a meter- my nice looking fuse was in fact not passing current. I replaced the fuse, which immediately blew again. I suspect I messed something up when ...

I'm leaving in 5 days on a 1500 mile trip, so of course now is when gremlins show up.

Both my fuel & temp gauges are not working. Both light fine, gas shows empty, temp about 1/3. All my fuse ...

Yup, Mr Duck nailed it.

Thanks!

Wow- that was fast!

Thanks!

Hmmmm, I guess I shouldn't just get out the grinder and grind the pivot down to size. The rear end coming off would be hard to explain to the girlfriend in the hack. ...

More specifically,

I just finished a clutch & O-ring transplant. Definitely a project I should not have shoe horned into an already WAAAY too busy work schedule.

Does this look about right? ...

The Eagle has landed, or at least the trans & engine are coupling nicely. Not sure what I did differently. Maybe being a bit more P/O'ed helps?

Or maybe I found how to communicate with the ...

I just replaced the O-ring which died, severely oiling my clutch. Reassembling, I'm having troubles getting the trans to mate with the motor.

I followed Duck's instructions, mated everything up, a ...

Fuel pump replaced and we now have a working rig!

I'll post more in a few days when I have a real Internet connection instead of the smoke signal speed available at the campground.

Thanks all!

I can't check the connector well, no meter with me.

Pump should whirrr with 12 v to green/green and ground to the brown.... I think....

Yup,
Side stand switch, kill switch, connectors as best as I can.

I'm in copper Harbor, Michigan. bike died while riding, now no sound from fuel pump. Recently filled tank, then on rough roads.

I jumped with 12 v to green/white, And ground to brown- nothing.
...

Sounds like a perfect Christmas.

Thanks for sharing!

I found a crack in the bracket that holds the top case rack on my 1993 K1100LT. I'm hoping somebody has one collecting dust somewhere...

It's BMW pn 46 54 2 315 606, "Bracket Right" ...

I have a 1993 K1100LT sidecar rig and am silly enough to ride year around in Michigan. The owner's manual says to change the oil every 30 days if the bike is used in temperatures under 32 F. The bik ...

Early K bike-- are we talking K75, K100, K1100....?

I guess I'm most specifically interested in my 1993 K1100LT. Winter is coming and I'm not smart enough to put the beast away. Might it melt its ...

That's what I suspected. rats!

Is this a common problem, or a good indicator that I should maybe slow down before I break something expensive?

About a month ago my electric windshield died. And became "floppy"- it would flop forward freely. It happened on a trip to southern Ohio, where I encountered some awesomely bad roads and ...

Thanks for the pics!

I'll have to keep my eyes open for another kit. 'Till then at least I have some ideas
