I'd bet on the clutch nut o-ring being bad. Very common now at that age.

The posting is gone already - what was he asking?
Dude, Greaves got a K1100 for $500!

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's . . . ox, nor ass nor K1100 nor any other of his unreasonably fortunate, relatively local Craigslist finds.

CAUTION
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's . . . ox, nor ass nor K1100 nor any other of his unreasonably fortunate, relatively local Craigslist finds.
Easy to say - not so easy to do. Actually, I'm glad for my (almost literal) neighbor, may he find much joy and satisfaction in the restoration to health of the K1100 and ride it many miles in happiness.

Any recommendations? I got an OptimA$$ with my current ride. Worth a $100+ delta? Lighter of course
I had wanted to paraphrase Proverbs 31 which references a wife of great value who can find a bargain and substitute myself as the woman buying a field to cultivate. “ He selects a bargain K and restored it for thorough flaoging in the Chee. or was that the book of Johnnie? I did lust after his RS when we rode last summer. Wanna drag

Hilltopper is my welcome guest in Livingston for a test drive- so battery search shows ML22-12 and gel versions many sub $50 such as Walmart.com

If you want to start a restoration with a clean slate I thinks one can be had fairly cheap.Tremendous first post, Crusty! Members will start looking to you as a parts resource.

So the inner component, that mounts to the hub and holds 1/2 of each bobbin has some deep scoring in the sockets where the PO took the bobbins waaay too far. I inserted a new bobbin in these semi circular holes and there is no slop.
So by my lexicon these are serviceable, yes? A quick search shows me my usual sources don't offer that inner ring and ABS ring seperately. (NEW is $400 each!) hack hack hack...
I'm going to assemble this first unit and then tug to see how much movement I get. I recall there is a spec for this. the right sans ABS ring lays nicely on the bench but the left with the ring not so simple...I'll lift the ring for this job, hassle yes...There's gotta be a way to compress these springs so the E clip slides on just as easily. I'll go run some errands and think on this....maybe my welder vice grips with looong fingers will compress these springs.......
If you have a pair of unmolester components in your stash, how much shipped to 53554?
Also: several of the rubber edge seals are worn through on the fairing panels. The one pictured butts to the fuel tank. Others have a U shap and have worn through where they rest against the engine etc.
Is there an alternative online source you K11 restorers like?

So all 24 bobbins are identical...the OEM sources have 3 of 12 with a spring of some sort. Methinks my Johnny source had the hot ticket with maybe harder steel bobbins?? What's the OEM function of the diffrent bobbins spaced around the ring? Just Curious....
Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on January 06, 2023, 06:58:00 PM
My first 16V RS didn't have the bobbins with the rings, and the rotors made a jingly, rattling sound going down the road. The rotors have to be able to float side to side a tiny bit to prevent brake pulsing, but if they are not damped with a little bit of friction they rattle.
Post by: Rcgreaves on January 07, 2023, 12:01:25 AM
Back in 2019 I made inquries. The parts were sourced from Motobins. Each Bobbin has an oversized spring washer. Super results. I believe the bobbins are stainless steel.

Gryph thanks ever so kindly for scouting that edging. I want to verify the diameter of the trashed components as I think the diameter of the foam insulator tube is bigger on the worn out edging.... I'd hate to drop that much money and discover it doesn't touch the fuel tank. Then again the red paint is rubbed off from this current OEM stuff so perhaps a smaller diameter that DOESN't ride against the fuel tank would be better.... :idunno:
Also: I have a K1 runner stashed that will come apart in February for my third K clutch...it will probably require something similar...
In my day job...errrr.....early morning and late afternoon job I drive a school bus....the company is owned by an auto body shop. At tonight's holiday feast I'll bring along pics and sizing and talk to the part's guy about what they stock. If I can supply extra Gryph, I will. Cheers.

I would think you could start a thread here to sell some to the inmates. MaxBMW shows it as NLA on the parts lists and I know that I've had to replace a bunch of it on my bikes.
