I dont find the indicators a problem.

The fuel filter can be a problem on the K100s so I guess it may also be the same on the 1100 also the engine breather can perish

I have a k75 rt 1990 it’s an excellent tourer and runs like a top

Bonjour. Pouvez vous me dire a quoi correspond ce petit bouton circulaire gris qui est juste au dessus du coupe circuit general ? C'est une sorte de blocage de poignée de gaz ? J'ai pas souvenir d'avoir ca sur la mienne . Merci . En tout cas,votre machine tourne bien rond ,et vous la conduisez un peu comme je conduis la mienne . Bravo .

Na, Na mate. It’s the operator. Just wait till your on a wee busy naggery town roundabout AND have learned the switches , you can flick between L & R & cancel soooo smoothly. Ive a ‘92 K100rs ,had her 20 years ,mid 40 thou miles, my magic carpet. ENJOY a classic long life motorcycle.

Bonjour. Merci pour cette video assez complète de la K1100 LT . Je viens d'acheter exactement la même ,un modèle 1994 de la même couleur. J'en avais eu une il y a longtemps et j'ai replongé dans ce modèle. Bon, seul petit problème restant le poids a l'arrête lorsqu'il faut la manoeuvrer . Il faut se souvenir de ne pas la garer n'importe ou . La mienne a 83.000 km ,dans un parfait etat. J'habite en Bourgogne ,et je suis allé la chercher a Nantes .J'ai eu le plaisir de revenir avec ,750 km de bonheur. Ces machines semblent indestructibles . Le mauvais temps persiste en france depuis un bon moment , donc je n'ai pas encore pu la sortir a ma guise. C'est dommage que je ne parle pas votre langue ,car j'aurais bien aimé comprendre le sens de vos commentaires sur votre moto . Bonne continuation . Christian Fournier .

Just beautiful.. I will love my few days there before the central highlands.. 👍 😁

WOW Does it ever rain in Scotland. Fife is on my next Tour route. This wa timed perfectly. As long as you can let me have some of that sunshine . keep safe my friend and i will have awee dram to you >🤓💯❤‍🩹🙏🤳📽🎬. could you put a list of your favourite roads there in the description .. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great goldwings.. I prefers pre 2018 for sure….your previous 1500 has bags more character 👍👍

Bonjour. Belle video de K 1100 LT . J'en ai une egalement ,de 1994 avec 84.000 km et excellent entretien . J'ai eu pas mal de BMW en Bi-cylindres ou en quatre pattes. Bon, j'ai replongé avec ma dernière depuis quelques mois . C'est malheureusement très lourd a manier a l'arrêt et lors des manoeuvres de stationnement .Il faut avoir a l'esprit son poids avant de la garer n'importe ou . Mais une fois lançé, c'est très bien. Je pense que ces machines sont très fiables, on sent bien que la construction etait faite avec un souci de robustesse et non pas de faire du profit en vendant des "merdes" comme aujourd'hui . Pouvez vous me dire ou vous avez trouvé les porte-bagages additionnels qui sont sur vos valises ? Salutations de Bourgogne .

I make my videos for myself really. One day I'll be too old to ride and I'll have something to look back upon. The past is always less complicated. It reminds us of less responsibility and when we saw things without over thinking. Those first and second generation cybermen were truly terrifying. After that, they suffered under bad script writing and very poor musical accompaniment.

Absolutely spot on ..,my channel is a diary channel for family in Poland to watch ..You tube is a historians delight ..people just being people and mapping the world arround them ..The huge chsnnels will end up in the fishpaper of tomorrow ..The humanist channels will be archived for the students of the next century ..👍 😁 💯🤓

Cyber men scared the shit out of me, I hid behind the settee when they came on🤣

Looks great but definitely not as much fun as the first time.😂

liked and subscibed my friend :)) i like the philosophy 💯❤‍🩹🤓🙏

One of the best bikes ever made.

I'm enjoying these K bike videos, thanks for uploading them. One thing you might like to look at is whether the throttle body rubbers are sealing well. That's a thing that can happen with them over time.

Fantastic! I’m headed over to Scotland from Canada this summer - visited the Isle of Bute in February. Would love to ride my 93 K1100RS over there. It’s a big flying brick - almost like the Richie and Jonny Grey of motorbikes.

A K1100LT would hardly if ever need a valve adjustment. That relates more to the boxer engine, not inline engine. I have a 94 K1100LT bought new, have never adjusted the valves. They are still a good bike, and the technology back in the day was ahead of its time.

Welcome back to the Harley family I've got an elecra glide myself and l am thinking of getting a BMW r1100rt or k1100lt as a second bike 👍🏾

Keep talking love 💕 your commentary informative my friend is a BMW connersor and l will share this video 🎥

Good job! I had to replace the seal of the valve cover from the front cilinder pair. According to the manual you can do that with the radiator swung to the front. It has to be me but... after many trial and error sessions I ended up with removing the radiator (had to refresh coolant anyway), the tank and the airfilter box. With all that removed you can access the front valve cover relatively well. Trouble I had when I did not do all this removal is that the seal continued to fall of the valve cover. The seal has to be fixed to the valve cover and not to the cilinder block. So gravity fights against you. I also used the sealant Honda recommends as the 'glue' to fix the seal to the valve cover. After that fitting it was relatively trouble free and the oil leak (the reason for replacing it) is gone! Good luck with all the jobs on your VFR, very interesting.

Try diesel in ur parts washer, keep clear of the water based green garbage, it will rust ur new washer up. I use pure diesel in mine and wouldn't use anything else😃👍

Mechanic in a bottle… marvellous stuff even at very reduced concentrations

At the moment the Super-unleaded sold by Esso is ethanol-free because adding ethanol wouldn't allow them to reach the octane level they advertise.. This makes Esso super-unleaded great for classic bikes and cars..

Good to see you giving the K a run out.

Far too many fake news spreaders and naysayers, E10 only contains 4% ethanol in most brands anyway which isn't even noticable in the way most engines run.. Just put in the modern high quality fuel with all it's top quality additives and drive. Nothing bad has happened to any of my 1938 to 1955 classic cars and bikes. If you need information ask the refineries, don't google it and believe the first answer you see.

Jees, I've really got to move up north - those roads look lovely and so little traffic....

I just got a mint k1100rs but it’s a bit uncomfortable. May go round up a fairly nice LT a few hours away with only 20k mile.

Dude you are making that job so hard for urself. Throw the slide hammer in the bin, take the tool and tighten it and twist the piston out in with the caliper in ur Hand, it is a 10 second job per piston with that tool. Spraying lubricant on it is pointless, unless the seals are knackered it won't get past the seal and onto the piston.

Great vid 👍🏻I’ve got one too . Picked it up as a winter run about and ended up stripping it . Still a work in progress (too many projects ) I know the roads you are on .. great presentation!! Keep up the good work !

I put E5 in my SLK and E5 probably every other fill on my Street Triple. If I had a classic with carbs E5 shouldn't be too bad. The Globalist Western politicians ARE trying to kill us. They usually do it slowly decade by decade, but recently its been speeded up as Agenda 2030 is staring us in the face. As a life-time environmentalist who even did Environmental Studies at school and was one of the first members of the Friends of the Earth, the so-called Green movement is vile neo-marxist and cannot be trusted on ANY issue, whatsoever.

Storm in a tea cup. Have been running everything on E10 and have not had any problems. Just use the things.

Oh, Gas Wobegon... I just watched another vid explaining why hexavalent chrome is actually a good thing (now banned in the EU). Change is... Sorry, not sorry. Additives are prevalent, if expensive. How about the tetra-ethyl lead (TEL) conspiracy? I suspect us old engine lovers and restorers will muddle through.

I've always used super unleaded even before E10 hit the petrol station

Ethanol was a bad idea, and the solution is to remove it from the petrol before you put it into your tank. You will need a soluble water based blue dye, add this to your petrol in a see through plastic container, and then add water to the mix in a 50/50 ratio. The water will dissolve the ethanol, and as a mixture of water and ethanol is heavier than petrol it will sink to the bottom of the see through plastic container, as will be easy to see as it will be blue. Now you can syphon off the top layer of petrol, and store that in a can seperately. The blue dyed ethanol and water can be flushed down the toilet. If they stop supplying all petrol for transport at some future time, you can use the air intake of your small portable compressor to put natural gas from the household gas supply into a container and run your engine on that perfectly well. If natural gas gets stopped, you can run your engine on wood gas again perfectly well. I have a petrol generator at home for standby power cuts, that i have converted to run on liquefied petroleum gas, or natural gas, or wood gas and that means that I shall always be a step ahead of the bastards that wish to stop us from using internal combustion engines in our bikes and cars.

This is an old issue that for me at the moment is resolved. I have an Aprilia RST Mille as well as classic cars and a modern Skoda, plus a plethora of horticultural machines that are vulnerable to Ethanol. At the moment I fuel all of them with Super unleaded. I proved to myself many moons ago that I saw a mileage advantage in using Super that outweighed the price premium, so it made economic sense. I live in E Mids and from what I have discovered, at least 3 of the big four fuel companies supply Super without ethanol locally and other sources of Super have been shown to have very low percentages, ~3% of Ethanol. The move to Super also makes further financial sense because even the Govt acknowledge that you will get less fuel mileage from fuel containing higher levels of Ethanol, such that those that fill up now with E10 are using more fuel that they were with E5. If it comes to the crunch then Ethanol can be readily taken out of the fuel that is sold although it becomes a bit of an expensive faff.

wash your fuel add a little lead sub job done john

There's a huge amount of people involved with restoring old bikes and cars, lots of social events, a lot invested in historic vehicles - there's going to be a lot of people out of work, and a lot of history lost, and a lot of socialising gone.

Thumbs-up for the CX500 pic on the wall! I have two 1982 CX500s; a Shadow and a Eurosports.

Hello, the video popped up in my feed, don't know you. But you make a lot of sense. Lately at the moment the people are divided on the end camps. You think logically and think of a solutions. Few things to say.. The government bodies all over Europe don't care about bikers as a whole, even hate us. Because we use at the moment old ICE vehicles as recreation, not as A to B commuting. They are only interested in making policies for A to B and mostly in cities commuting. In their mind the recreational biking is something wrong and dangerous. They don't say it directly but shows in their policies. I am industrial engineer myself and indeed have seen polluting from factories in the name of the profit but money protects money are they passed down the burden to the ordinary people. This is true about the inflation too.

Eventually you will not be allowed to use it for transportation on public roads and there won't be any flammable liquids for sale for engine combustion.

Always loved the k1100, the build quality and design was amazing. I had an 07 ex met police 1200rt, didn't rate it, it couldn't catch a cold let alone a criminal👍

For now I use premium fuel in all I drive and ride. I expect what you mentioned: there will be some additive. No doubt very expensive. For years I have added a bit of 2 stroke oil to standard fuel and that seemed to work fine as well. And even though 2 strokes are dead, I expect to be able to purchase 2 stroke oil for some time to come. And oil is still plentiful available and that will not change for a long time. EVs have NOTHING to do with the environment. It is a business model pushed upon us ny the green fascists, stupid politicians (are there any other?) and the motor industry who is not willing/able to invest in ground breaking research for a good environmental more friendly propulsion system.

Always loved my K1100LT while I had it, they are the perfect mile muncher. 500 mile days never a problem, just sit there in comfort and dial in whatever speed you want to travel at. The engine is a torque monster, you can happily leave it in 5th and roll on and off the throttle, from 30mph to 130mph all in one gear.. they are also surprisingly good when you get to the twisty bits and you can easily surprise some sports bikes on the road….. once the revs get over 5000rpm she really takes off! I now have a 1990 K1 (which has the same 4 valve head and delivers the same levels of torque) to compliment my 1983 R100RS, but I still get the urge to get another LT or a R1100RT as a tourer in the garage! 😊 ….. PS you do get used to the indicators and the self cancelling element is excellent 👍

Drove k100 for about 15 years, best bike I ever drove, atm gs but not as good as the k models.

One of the best touring bike ever made by BMW. Far ahead of its time. Bmw put there best money and engineering on this series. riding it myself for many years and no modern bike tempt yet to change it with other bike. Nice films, enjoy enjoy enjoy... ALL THE BEST.

My relationship with my RT will never get better than a love/hate one. Fantastic dirty weather bike, very comfortable and so on. But... I just got myself a CBR600 F4i Sport of the exact same vintage (2001). No rusted bolts on the CBR, many of those on the Beemer. And that is just one example. There are many small things on the Beemer that are of bad quality and crumble. Never had that on any of my Japanese bikes... Love/hate relationships never last long...

Took mine out earlier and better weather down south!

Isn’t it always the same you get back happy from your ride to find the audio is poor as in your previous outing, happens to me regularly 😮my channel is Chronicles of Dot 👍👍
