K11 Owners Group

rbm

I purchased a used throttle body assembly from a supplier who said it came off of a 1993 K1100. Below is a photo of the unit:

Odd thing is that there is no connection for a vacuum regulation hose as shown in the OEM parts explosion diagram (number 5 & 13 shown below).

In place of a vacuum connection, there is a blue cap. Even the part number stamped on the unit, 0280160753, does not come up in RealOEM.

Has anyone seen this varient on a K1100 FPR? How does this FPR ensure constant fuel pressure without vacuum feedback?

K11`s don`t have any vacum connection on the FPR, only K100`s.
The part # is a Bosch part #, and not BMW.

On the part diagrams the same drawings often are used on a lot of different models.
If you choose a particular model, and the part isn`t used on that model, the number doesn`t show up on the parts list.
But this is not always completely consistent, so there's no way you can rely on this at all time.

Many drawings are reused from older bike, sometime misleading like in your case.
