Good to hear the pump and fuel lines are ok.

Keep hitting the injectors with the 9v.  Even if you don't get any flow you are bumping the pintle and the crap built up around it.  With any luck you will eventually break it free.  As long as you just momentarily connect the power, there is no reason that you couldn't use 12v.  All you are looking for right now is an electrical "tap" on the pintle.  There is no reason to leave the power on.

Keep an eye on eBay.  There are a number of usable injectors from running bikes available for very reasonable prices there.   If you can't get yours to work this is a good source for replacements.

If your local injector guy is competent, he can rework them.  Luckily here in the midwest USA, we have a lot of competent injection shops (diesel gearheads).  This is not rocket science :bmwsmile .  You may have to wait for him to order kits.  My oddball bosch injectors (tractor) took 2 weeks to get the appropriate kit.

This is an option as well.  I have done this to my bike and am pleased so far (it's fast enough to scare me :hehehe ...but then again, I scare easily :hehehe .

Jack, other than new injectors did you have to do anything else to make it function correctly? I love speed and power. My other Bagger is a HD that makes a 100 hp and 110 tq.

I enjoy speed and power as well :bmwsmile .  Since I started with an R60/5,  the K has abundant amounts of both :hehehe .  All you need to do is to restore the bike to it's original functionality!  The injectors were the only "performance" upgrade I did.  If you desire more power, you could do this...

Jack the RB racing site was pretty interesting although I didn't find any k100 parts on the price list, which is fine, because I don't need a race bike.


I did bump the injectors with 9V after work, and added some more carb/ injector cleaner.

I contacted Mr Injector, I'm leaning towards sending him my injectors to get them analyzed and flowing correct if they are able.


Thanks for the Mr injector tip!

Dustin, You are welcome to have my old injectors if you need them (24,000 mi and sat with gas in tank for 12+ years :bmwsmile )...I am not going back!  I guess that I also put Magnecor wires on.  Once you get it running, you can do fun things like fan over-ride, aux lights, leds, moly in FD/trn, wire upgrades to protect the starter, etc!!

I'm impatiently waiting for my injectors to get sent back. As I continue to think about this project, I wonder if the fuel pressure regulator could be corroded too? If it is van it be serviced?

Buy new off Amazon.  Much cheaper than other sources.  I have a post on here somewhere.

I guess you could try cleaning.  I just replaced figuring 20 plus years was enough

What do the rest think?

If you have replaced the fuel lines and run clean fuel, you'll find out how well it works once you've reassembled and started the engine. Its performance can also be measured with a gauge.

It's a sealed unit so repair is only for the adventuresome, and then only if they can find needed parts. Replace it if you can't tolerate uncertainty.

+1 on Laitch's advice.

The regulator is nothing more than a can with a spring and a diaphragm in it.  Super simple, but impossible to service.  If you suspect it is bad and are in there already, change it now because it will be a royal pain in the butt to diagnose and replace after everything is put back together.

Dustin,
The pressure regulator was about the only part I did not replace on my fuel system!  Mine has been  working appropriately during the last year...

Jack, I'm going cross my fingers and hope it doesn't need to be replaced at this point.


On a different topic, Bill from Mr injector, emailed me to say that my injectors were stuck, but he was able to get them functioning again. I was excited to get that email! I should have more to do in the shop by next weekend!

I couldn't take it anymore, while I waited for the injectors to get back, I torn into the rear end and checked and greased the splines.
Injectors should be here any day.
