I wouldn't bother with the 33/12 2.75 ratio, go the whole hog and put the 33/13 2.54 ratio in.

ffbikersa, don't listen to all the negative comments on this thread, I have had the final drive gears from an R1200C fitted in a K100 monolever back in 2002 and it was a great mod, giving me a bigger ...

I've had the 1200C gears fitted to my bike for about 10 years and on my K100 before that about about 13 years ago. As far as I know I was the first person to do it. Everyone said it couldn't be done. ...

I have the R1200c gears in my K11RS and at 65mph it has dropped the revs by about 500. It's the best mod I have done, the great torque of the K11 engine is being used more now and the fuel economy is ...

Would it have the Radiator Trim Panel by any chance? The panel that sits in front of the radiator.

Drikko,

I thought it was the synthetic as the blend was a 15w-50 and it was using more oil than the dino oil I use now.

Drikko,

I used to use Mobil 1 in my K100 for years and it loved it. I put it in the K11 a few months after I bought it and it used heaps of oil, so I changed to a synthetic blend and it used less o ...

Well said Ausbrick and RAL88, I agree, the criticism and chatroom crap has been getting progressively worse over the past couple of years. Those that are 'disturbed by the whining' should stop the cri ...

Drikko,

Not sure about US bikes, but in OZ the exhuast is stainless and can be cleaned up with 'Autosol Metal Polish' available from Supercheap Auto. Autosol will even take out the browning where t ...

Welcome Derek,

I see you bought Geoff's bike, it's in great condition. We will have to get together for a ride in the New Year.

All K100 models use the 33% thicker radiator except the 4 Valve models ( K100RS 4V & K1) which use the same thin radiator as the K1100 models.

I have already posted it, but I think it has vanished into the Archives. I posted a question on how to retreive stuff out of the Archives as I have other great mods that have disappeared as well, but ...

Merlin,

I'll PM you the instructions on a proven way to fix your heat problems and it will only set you back about $160 for the parts. I've tried all the other suggestions and they are simply Band- ...

Jim,

The manual override switch is an Autoswitch from Cycle Gadgets, using the blinker cancel switch. This switch runs the fan at full speed now.
The Thermo Switch is a Davies Craig, the cheapest ...

If it is not too hot where you live, you might get away with it, but where I live it wasn't enough. I had the three core radiator and the half speed fan and I was changing the resistors often to make ...

Looking to install a secondary fan switch on my 94 K1100RS. What parts are needed? where do you wire in? where is that located? what guage wire is needed? relays? type of switch?

Guys, I think you' ...

Are the Pioneer remotes wired to the head unit or are they infrared wireless?

I too have converted my tail and brake light with LED Panels and with some simple wiring through a relay to earth, I am still able to use the Cruise Control.
The rego plate is illuminated by 3 white ...

And he's an Aussie!!!!
