hi.. i am new to the forum i have just bought a k100rs can someone tell me what the plastic switch on the plastic handlebar cover is please.... regards jim

Hi Jim there are two or three plastic switches on the handlebar cover, does it have a light in it? If so what does it look like, is it original or after market? What year is your bike, does it have ABS? We need a bit more info to narrow it down, you can still get an owners manual from BMW and you can get some good workshop manuals and there is a copy of the Haynes one in the downloads section.

hi..i collect bike on monday but when buying bike i recall 1 black switch on its own in the middle plain black no light on it and no other switches around it..the bike is a 1986 k100rs i dont think it as abs.. regards..jim

It will be interesting to see what it does do when you get it.

It's probably the one for the grip heating.

Hi Jim

a photo of the switch will probably get the answer for you.

The 2 most common switches are 4 ways flashers and heated grips.
You can also have one for auxiliary lights.

Hi sandy thought you might find these usefull,im a qualified m/c and car mechanic but the BMW K got me lost straight away but thanks to the helpfull people on this site and reading all available literature in downloads:
http://k100rt.aforumfree.com/downloads-f3/
have managed to get over jump in my head ie im riding a mini (works in my head cleared blockage).
the thing i went to M/C college in Nottingham for was electrics,but as soon as the lecturer drew a basic circuit and said "thats what each electrical component is basically " it clicked in my head.

Also with BMW its the classiest bike ive ever owned( bought one of the first CBR 600 when they came out and didnt give a toss about it wether or not i wrecked or chuffed it.But the BMW deserves respect and being older and broker(££$$$$$$) information is the best way.
And theres plenty here but tutorage cant hurt.
