This is my dream bike, now in my own state. Just installed a new furnace and AC. Lack of fundages.

I already own my dream bike, but since we are dreaming , this black and white pair would be nice.

What makes "Brake Failure" light up? And what are you supposed to do when it *does* light up? Throw out your anchor?

What makes "Brake Failure" light up? And what are you supposed to do when it *does* light up? Throw out your anchor?This model has a disk up front and a drum in the rear. My guess is it senses a loss of pressure in the front hydraulic system. You should still have a rear brake, so I would use it and evasive maneuvers .00k0k_1XYfjvabwB3_600x450.jpg (27.9 kB . 458x328 - viewed 523 times)

What makes "Brake Failure" light up? And what are you supposed to do when it *does* light up? Throw out your anchor?The front brake master cylinder and its fluid level/condition need to be checked, like beemuker indicates. The tank needs to be lifted because the front brake master cylinder is under it.My guess is it senses a loss of pressure in the front hydraulic system. You should still have a rear brake, so I would use it and evasive maneuvers .
The light could have been labeled Brake Fluid but Failure is more emphatic. :yikes:

So much motorcycle, for so little money. Amazing.
Friend of mine just purchased the 98K1200 for $2000. Stored last 21 years with an honest to god 17 miles. Owner died after purchase and heirs forgot about it. Dry rotted everything but what a deal! New owner has several Nortons, a R1100S and an R1100R. This is her first K bike.

I almost bought this bike last fall, but waited for my recently purchased 94 K75 S to become available.
