Very nice and speedy work gents!

How long have you had Gerty for Charlie?

Reading this last page makes me glad I bought new cush rubbers for the output shaft. The ones in all my shafts were shagged. The shaft bit and the geared bit would just slide apart easy as anything. The brand new rubbers were soooo much tighter. Even with heaps of lube I had to press the 2 halves back together again with the new rubbers fitted.

Floyd ....about 3 years ol mate ...bought her in November 2011 on the road just before Christmas the month after ...just on some where over 60,000 ks  closer to 90,000 kilometres since then ....my odo stopped last year sometime ...and I figure iv put somewhere between 10- 30,000 since then ...sorry cant think of all the trips since

bemade

those are branded carbtune ...but often called carbsticks ...if that helps   wish I had some as well ...just to keep it all in trim

took gerty out for a visit down south today ...without a wash as yet ...the idea being to spot any oil leaks etc after a good run ....

I met a friend of my brothers dirtbikers mob down at chillingham (nsw border region ) and explored many of the local roads, he on his aprillia thingy (about 100 hp ) and "as light as" more a super trailbike with all the road stuff ...he calls it a "super postie" (poor bugger hasn't learned road surfaces and riding styles yet... still a bushbasher at heart I recon ) ...he was continually slowing through the middle of corners ...oh well hell learn I guess  

found some awesome twistys that are just fantasic ...with good road surface to boot ...ill be recommending some of them in coming events ...chalk another 500 ks away for the day

and a cleanup for gerty this coming week (ill have to repaint some of the scratches that occurred during the works

again I have to thank alby for his fantastic skill, dedication , and good will, for putting so much into getting this old girl back on the road ....thanks mate, really appreciate all the help and camaraderie

I used one like that after some hole stole my vacuum gauges. Only problem is if one TB is way out it will drink all the oil before you can blink.

woohoo    new leds arrived for the instrument cluster

"old goat " had done some investigation (with much advice from other members ) into inverted leds (read wider spread angle of illumination than standard leds ) 

well i finally got some from a local source..... and well priced   under 18 dollars for 8 (delivered )...seems about right to me

might take a while to apply ...have to find some gears for the odometer first

Hi Charlie, good going :-)

First time I check the clearances on the older Ks I always remove the shims and measure them with a micrometer. That then, with the measured clearances, allows me to mixnmatch as best as possible. It also shows you where you are within the range of shims BMW has available, allowing for some understanding where you are for future purpose, particularly for the non-unleaded versions :-)

Looking really good Charlie, what a good job you are doing. I got some shims here, from Precision Shims Australia and they were quiet a bit cheaper than Motobins/Munich. I can send you up what I have left over if you want to mix n match.

I check mine every 20000km but usually nothing needs changing. In 8 years of Marg having the K75 I have only changed 1 shim in 60000km. The K1100 has had a few changes but mainly after a settling in after the head swap and cam changes but once they settle then it is unusual to change any. I always check because finding one shim that has changed twice can mean problems developing with the valves.

WARNING Always check the clearances before you remove the spark plugs because loose carbon can get under the valve seat on the exhaust valves giving bigger readings than actual and if you replace the shim then it will close up next time you start the engine.

Charlie, your handlebars appear a bit high for a sport touring bike (i.e. RT).

Have you ever considered lowering them to about 10cm above the faring? I've found it improves handling and reduces wind blast at speed.   cheers

Chazza,
you're up well past 209,000+ klicks, that's about 130,000 miles in the right upper western hemisphere quadrant of the free world. Not bad for a 25+ year old geezer that can still exite in a tight corner. We can perhaps forgive her a few extra noises from down below.

I just rode from Seattle to San Fran this weekend (1,100 miles the long way, but 800 miles on the freeway) on the RT with 127,000 miles on the odo, and she did everything she could to keep me happy, and did. You've gotta love a girl who can do that at an advanced age.

Hi Charlie....you probably allready know, but I mention it anyway........

At big end and crankshaft bearings usually stretch bolts is used, which should
be renewed whenever they are disturburbed......nuts also is of various lock
types which also usually should be renewed.

You identify a stretch bolt by that it have one (or more) short parts of the length
that have a smaller diameter than the rest.

a couple of thou gaps 0.050mm  seem consistent with a nice polish on all the bigends and journals and the age and work of the motor
I assume you KNOW to use the radial diameter protractor and tighten the bolts to, I think it is 80 degrees PAST the touque setting. I think that is the other thing that might have tripped my ex mechanic up. READ THE OWNERS WORKSHOP MANUAL, HAYNES about this, apparently MOST CRITICAL. There is a pdf on the net if you want one or I can email it to you if you do not already have it

cheers

hope this helps somehow

Yep, I have to agree. Mine, when I got it, had 110000 on the clock.

Off topic I know, but I gotta say this:

I had no history about this thing, a standard LT back then, but I took it for a super strop north, 280ks return the night I got it home.

Pissing down rain, extreme revs in top gear most of the way. The thing impressed me so much, how it handled and took off like a rocket, stunningly awesome ride. I thought . . wowo . .  1989, 110ks and going like its near new!. Ever since then I have ultimate respect for this model of frame and running gear. I never want to change but I assume that one day I may be forced to, with age (me, not the bike). The only thing I can see me getting in to @ age 65or 70+ would be a canam 3 wheeler

ill let the sealants cure overnight  before filling with water and running her up to temperature

fingers crossed ....but i think i have to try other things .... nothing i saw was at fault ..so far

perhaps alternator drive rubbers  or possibly (dont want to think it) ..little end issues

Did you end up putting in new cush rubbers in the output shaft? 

On all 4 of the shafts I examined, the rubbers were all completely crushed to the point where the two halves of the shaft would freely slide apart and there was lateral movement as well. 

Engine looks great. What do you use for a primer? I have not had much luck priming and painting raw aluminium for some reason....

I polished and painted mine, very successful, now nearly 10000ks down the track and no chipping, flaking or discoulration. I got the cases polished by the shop and got hold of this new paint called Diamonshine on the market from Kbs coatings:

http://www.kbs-coatings.com/DiamondFinish-Clear.html

one coat

I should really polish and paint my waterpump cover as well one day I suppose
