I agree with the ignition switch. Regardless of any other problems, when the switch is off, there should be no power to any electrical component.

Mine started making that noise at about 80,000 miles. It now has 167,000, and still makes that noise.

I've had the vapor lock issue before with this bike, and opening the cap gets it to start. However, in those cases, the bike starts to run poorly before cutting out.A plugged air vent would act the sa ...

I don't believe in coincidence. The bike only quits running when its hot. It then starts again after allowing it to cool down. A bad kill switch or kick stand switch wouldn't allow the starter to ...

I had the dealer install a Siebenrock clutch on my R1150GS in preparation for another trip to the Arctic Circle, not on my LT.

I purchased my 1996 K1100LT new and it now has 162,000 miles. The original Halls Sensor started to fail in 2012 with 150,000 miles So I replaced it with a new Bosch Halls Sensor. With only 10,000 ...

I'm the original owner of a 1996 BMW K1100LT with 159,000 miles. About 5,000 miles ago, I started experiencing cutting out problems. With the help from this website, I was able to diagnose the prob ...

Thanks for all the help. I paid $360 for a new Bosch unit. I will repair the old halls sensor just to have on the shelf.

I purchased a new Bosch halls effects sensor from Euro Motoelectrics out of Denver yesterday http://www.euromotoelectrics.com/ and should have it in a couple days.

Since I have three older BMW that ...

I removed the plastic and removed the Hall Effects Sensor cover. I warmed the bike up until the fan came on and then put my heat gun on the sensor. It worked....the bike started cutting out. Looks ...

Ken,

Have you warmed the bike up then tried the HE hairdryer test?

John

No. Can you explain how to do this test?

That's interesting. I just replaced the stock exhaust with a REMUS. So, it no longer has a mount on the cat.

My LT buzz starting going away at around 75,000 miles. With over 151,000 now, the buz ...

The bike has 150,000 miles on the clock and it still looks like new. This exhaust should last another 150,000 miles.

Here's a photos of the 02 sensor location. When looking from the rear, the sensor is at the 3 0'clock position facing inward horizontally.
