Hi, last week I took possession of a '94 K1100RS. I had the chin cowl off to inspect the spark plugs, and noticed a missing bolt or screw on the right front corner of the oil pan. The bolt hole comes in from the right side, not the bottom. I can't imagine this being like this from the factory so I presume that the bolt/screw is missing. A look at the microfiche does not show this bolt because it is on the right side; the diagram only shows the front and left sides. Any suggestions if this is a special bolt? -Mike

Is it the one in the picture you have in mind? If so, it's used for mounting crash bars and engine spoiler
bracket, when not in use a plastic plug covers the hole.

Yep, that's the one. I like your idea of weight savings. I could probably save a few miligrams if I were to plug it with a twig instead of a steel bolt. Thanks for the quick reply! -Mike

When I worked on the Berkeley formula racing team, they had me machining bolts on a lathe to remove a thread or two to save weight.
