K11 Owners Group

The abs unit is probably dying slowly. New battery, tested cranking volts, bled brakes, and checked electrical connections at the module. It use to only set a code when it was really cold and f ...

I purchased .080 thick plastic at Lowes for $3 and the replacement fix went well as pictured above. Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies. That should work.

The plastic covering both gauges poor. I see new ones are not available and one I just saw on ebay doesn't look any better. Has anyone tried removing the gauge bezel and replacing the with new cle ...

I installed their US set back in 2011 and still working fine. The old ones were mush.

Some years ago, I couldn't purchase the stock BMW battery, which I liked. The Westco was taller, so I cut the two long battery hold down screws and welded in about a 1/2". Haven't had good ...

Thanks...suggestions well taken. The battery is one year old, which means nothing. I thought the engine started quickly when covered with frost, but the voltage probably dropped too much. 20W50 ...

When the temperature gets down in the 30's F over night, on cold start ups, the abs 2 won't synchronize and the abs lights stay flashing. This has happened other years. Usually, I can travel a sh ...

My LT sat over the summer(ride the FJR in FL heat), so this fall the windshield motor won't run. Removed the screws, lifted the windshield unit a little, tapped on the motor lightly.......fixed!!!!

My 97 K11LT uses a quart to 4,000. I had an 1985 K100RT for 17 years and that would use little in 4000. Nothing to do with BMW's, but a long time ago, I had a 1978 Yamaha XS 750 triple that I pu ...

The side stands on both of my K's bent over time, making the bike lean too much. I heated it with a gas welding torch to straighten it out. Some black paint and fixed.

I went through the same situation 10 years ago with my 97LT. Purchased the BMW parts and then realize I needed to drill-grind the handle bars for the wires. I think the left side just needs a hol ...

I've always carried an extra throttle and clutch cable. The last clutch cable that broke on a trip, it only took me about 10-15 mins. to get going again. I disconnected the broken cable on both en ...

I had a K100 for 17 years and sent the speedo to Overseas Speedo twice for different problems. Thought he did a good job and was easy to talk to on the phone.

A couple of years ago, the trip q ...

+1 on the brake hoses acting like a one way check valve. To troubleshoot, all you would have had to do was open the front bleeders and see if the wheel then turns easily. Happen to me last year ...

My LT has 90k on it without FD problems. I just attended the GA MTN BMW rally at Hiawassee Ga. and met a fella that loves his 1150, but has had a couple of FD failures on trips. One dealer repai ...

Probably the pump, but just an added thought, check for a plugged fuel filter. I had an 1985K that would get noisy when the filter needed changing. Remove it and you should be able to blow throug ...

The new pr2 tire looks good, drives fine, and the spinning runout is good.

Realoem.com shows the new fender is not available anymore, so I purchased a blue front-front fender off ebay for $12 plus shipping. May keep looking for mystic red, but at least I have a good one.

I was "STOPPED" at a traffic light this morning and a fella in a pickup in front of me decided to backup???, running his bumper up over my front tire. I ride my FJR 99% of the time, took t ...
