K11 Owners Group

SOLD!

Yup, just checked with the BMW tech. The temp sensor for the temp gauge is seperate. Good!

Interesting topic. Ever since I bought my K1200RS the temp gauge hasn't been working. I took it to the dealer to troubleshoot and they said it was the temp sensor switch. They didn't have the part and ...

Popping leaks? I started using Mobil 1 15W50 at 47500 miles and it has been running great. No leaks at all. In fact, the first thing I did when I got my K1200 was put Mobil 1 in it. Funny story: the B ...

Here's some more. Taken a few days ago.

Yup, now that I bought a K12, I have to sell my K1100RS. Crying or Very sad

It's in really good shape. Always babied and maintenance kept up (except spline lube Wink

). It's got 50,100 miles on the clock. Oil ...

The vavles are pretty static but if it's NEVER had the valves checked then I'd recommend having someon check/adjust the valves and having the TB's synched.
That's good advice. I ought to heed it... : ...

I second the motion of going fully synthetic on the gearbox oil. When I bought the bike, I changed all the oils to fully synthetic, and the beemer has been shifting better and better ever since... Very Happy

Ah yes, the downshifting thing. I asked him about this as well, and he said that was not necessarily from a dry clutch spline. There were other things that could cause this. My K1100RS has over 50,000 ...

I talked to the owner of Motorcycle R&R today. They're an independent shop in Salt Lake City who seem to be VERY popular with the BMW crowd. The owner is a long time BMW enthusiast and his #1 tech ...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll look into these sites. I've been reading a little bit more on the K1200 and it does seem to be a bit noisy in idle. Don't know what would cause that, the timing chai ...

OK, wrong forum, but I just went over to the dark side (the K1200 one that is Laughing

) and I got lots of questions. The folks over at the BMW superbike forum don't seem to be very helpful. I just bough ...

BTW who was the first "mechanic/shop" that gave the first of faulty advice? (Just in case I am in Salt Lake Broke down).
It was Motorcycle R&R in Salt Lake who gave me the first quot ...

Well, I got the quote from the dealer. $1080. With tax and stuff it'll be well over $1100 Shocked

I guess I'm in the wrong part of the country Rolling Eyes

hell, it'd be cheaper to hop on the bike and ride up to Anderwerks in Calgary to get it done - plus, you'd get in a nice ride on the way.

I'm with OTG - I wouldn't let that shop touch the bike. Is ...

I called a shop in the Salt Lake City area recently to get a quote on the 50,000 mile spline lube and this is what they had to say after quoting me $1000 for the lube: 'most guys don't do them because ...

When I first got my 94 K1100RS five years ago, I couldn't live with the buzz. I went through all the tips given on this forum and the ones that helped the most were synching the throttle bodies and pr ...
