New K owner in Vancouver Canada

[Daveontheedge]

Good day all! I have recently purchased a 1994 K1100LT, 94000KMS so it needs some serious love. Looking fwd to using this resource to keep it running for another 100000kms!

Welcome to the scrum!

In the Technical Directory Service Bulletin section, you can download the Motronic 2.1_2.2 Training Manual to learn how the engine management system works. Yours is a 2.2. In the Service Manual section, you can download the BMW K1100 LT/RS workshop manual and the K1100 Riders Handbook, if necessary.

Good luck with your Brick!

Welcome Dave, from what I can see, yours is in way better shape than mine right now.

I have a '95 in the same color that I tried taking off the road earlier this year, it didn't work out very well. Bad enough to the point that it's going to become parts to put my '97 back on the road.

Welcome!  Nice looking bike, that grey is a great color.  Judging from the photo, it doesn't need much cosmetic attention.  Mechanicals shouldn't be too much trouble, they're pretty straightforward.

Welcome from Hamilton, Ontario. My '86 K100RT had a shade more mileage on her when purchased. The bike sat for 9 years. Ten years later the love affair continues. I stripped her down - devoid of the fairing now. Was drawn to the engine/transmission - the industrial and raw mechanical look of her. Fluids, filters, spline shaft inspection and lube and some fresh plugs and see how you like her! There are other quirks to work on but you'll find those recommendations elsewhere....like the weird little Z tube under the tank! Best of luck.

The pic doesn't quite show the accurate condition. The bags are pretty beaten up, the side cover panels are held on with zip ties and the front fairing has a pretty good crack in it by the headlight. Not sure how a previous owner did that. The engine seems to be in pretty good condition, no corrosion or leaks, compression is low (110-120 on all four cylinders). I plan to do a full tear down for new bearings, seals and gaskets.
