BMW K1100LT - first prob

So he can point out some flaws in the Trophy to you? ;-)

 

yup - even the good ones.

 

Well ignoring the jibe there is an upside. You can easily open and strip
the clocks to component parts. If you want to.

 

Move to a less pikey bike.

 

Heh. Nah, it was a sort of swap between mates, and I'm not going to
expect him to pull the entire back end down. He's lobbing me a new
switch and when I get the thing overhauled before winter, I'll get your
tame specialist (who isn't answering phones, by the way) to fit it as
well.

Consensus of opinion on the K group is "The all do that sir", and they
right temselves after a day or two in the dry.

 

I used to put RainX on one set that always used to mist up - the water
would then just run off and down into the mechanism.. Which did cause
other problems but at least I could see the (not moving) needle
clearly.

It's good for visors too - the rain just streams off and (used on the
inside) helps them to stop misting up.

I've never actually had a Beemer that did it.
TBF all the lights in the clocks failed after Shane bought the white
one!

 

From Motobins and Motorworks spares prices are excellent for older
models.
I doubt the new bikes are so forgiving though.

 

In defence of BMW, at least a few years ago, spares prices really
weren't too bad.

 

They all do that. Well my K75RT did.

 

No Rainex, does have the puddle and condensation and the needle still
moves.

Hooray for Italy!

 

yet another axis power

 

I found that it's best to leave a message - he'll usually call back if
he's around.

The bloke who bought the GS didn't have a problem getting hold of him...

 

No answering machine either. Wtf?
