It will be the relay, fused contacts, not the starter.
The relay is in an electrical box under the petrol tank, at the rear of the tank, two bolts hold the relay down. If you have a bendy drive you might be able to get it out without removing the petrol tank if you can raise the rear of the tank enough. On the K100 as you sit on the bike the relay is at the rear of the box, right hand corner. Not sure if its same for K1100.
There is a thread here for opening up the relay and cleaning up the contacts. You have nothing to lose doing that as the alternative is a replacement relay.
