Cheers All !! First BMW Owner Here

[Qdude]

Hello,

I live in Seattle and was looking for a dependable full dressed rain capable freeway commuter. I could not have asked for better than the 93 k1100lt that I found on Craig's.

I have stripped and rebuilt two 77 KZ 650's that I have used for years and have always really enjoyed the forum environment. I hope to learn quickly and to be of help as soon as I can.

I do have a request for advice on those damn roller bobbins on the front disks that I will post in the appropriate portion of the site.

Cheers all,

Q

Is it that Silk Blue one in Ballard?

[Qdude]

No.

I bought a gray one from a guy in Oregon. I gave him 2500 for it and am satisfied.

82K No major damage, electrics are quirky and ABS is not working. Otherwise... it is ok.

I think a front bushing is complaining. Something feels like a howling bushing, intermitant vibration somewhere in the front end. At least the clanging from the disks is gone.

The bike in faster than my 650's, but I thought it would be more pronounced. This is the biggest bike I have ever owned.

You'll get exactly what you want from this site.
I know. One senior member here saved me bank.  i was about to take my bike to the dealer, who would have gladly charged me $500 to $600 to fix the problem, and very likely not volunteer what they think is the cause of the problem.  He showed me a work around and how to fix the problem on my own when it warms up.  Now, i have a very quick work around to start the bike when it won't start normally, and a verified process to address the problem when it warms up.  All because i asked and provided very specific symptoms.
Yea, this site rocks!!
