Hi everyone. I'm Jack. I've been assigned, by my friend, to being his 92 k1100 up to snuff do I knew what I will be doing for a good part of the winter. that being said I hope you don't consider me too bothersome asking for help from you! thanks everyone

ask away...
we don't mind a chat.

Hi Jack,

Welcome to the forum too!.

But, remember there is a thing called K pox that's contagious. By the time you finish your friend's K1100 you are likely to either have one got for yourself or be wanting one too.

Don't encourage them Ed.... Hes just another Canadian wanting to ask bothersome questions....

Just kiddin'. WelKome to K-world Jack... ask away mate

Welcome Jack.  Beware the KPox.  Two years ago I was a happy man with room in my garage.  Today, I'm still happy, but the garage now has 3 K bikes and a massive pile of spares.

Where in the great white north do you and this 1100 reside?

I'm more over on the west side in Calgary Alberta. I have to ask, what's the.75 handle?

Its all the same family.

K100 is 1000cc four cylinder engine. The K75 is 750cc, achieved by having it as a three cylinder engine. All are fuel injected twin camshaft.

The K1100 derived from the K100 16 valve. The K100 8 valve also had the K75 2 valve per cylinder as a three cylinder brother and there are lots who prefer the K75 to the K100. Of course some forum members have both models in their garages.....

All from the same stable and varying amounts of interchangeable parts between the K75 and the 8 valve K100. The K1100 is 16 valve and some interchangeable parts with the 16 valve K100.

Its a learning process but a great one on the forum here.

Shame if you have to do this job without doing one for yourself.......

.75 of 4 cylinders/1000cc is 750cc. 

I live across the border from Toronto.  Was wondering if you were another of the fairly large contingent of K bikers located there.

welcome jack

have fun with the build mate !!

I don't live in Toronto but I commute there for work. Thx for the welcome guys!
