Models Covered & Key Technical Specifications

BMW K 1100 LT/RS (1992-1999) — 1992–1999 Structured Technical Reference | K 1100 Series Repository.

  • Measured Cooling Specs: Thermostat opening temperature is set to 85°C (185°F) for optimal coolant circuit activation Benchmarks.
  • Established Throughput Data: For hydraulic operation, 3.0 L (0.66 Imp.gal) coolant capacity corresponds to the complete system volume Range.
  • Factory Dimensional Limits: The cylinder bore dictates 70.5 mm (2.77 in) standard piston clearance Sequences.
  • Approved Torque Data: Maximum torque yields 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) at 5500 min⁻¹ engine speed Baseline.
  • Reference Containment Volume: Oil capacity is standardized to 3.75 L (6.6 Imp.pt) with filter change Requirements.
  • Critical Environmental Range: Operating valve clearance limits 0.15–0.20 mm (0.006–0.008 in) inlet and 0.25–0.30 mm (0.010–0.012 in) exhaust Threshold.

OEM-Grade Installation Manual: BMW K 1100 LT/RS (1992-1999) Repair-Index

Serial-Range: 1992-1999 BMW K 1100 LT/RS Models // Reference-Category: Motorcycle Maintenance and Technical System Logic // Repair-Classification: Complete Factory Service Documentation.

Documentation Component Coverage Area Reference
Engine and Transmission Systems 364 pages of factory specifications Chapters 11, 12, 23 documented
Cooling and Fuel Systems Thermostat, radiator, injection control included Chapters 13, 16, 17 covered
Brake and Suspension Components Front and rear systems with ABS Chapters 31, 32, 33, 34 provided

Analytically establishing the scope of this service manual, the document presents information on engine architecture, including cylinder head, crankshaft, and valve timing specifications. The manual includes detailed system overviews for fuel injection control with electronic mapping, transmission assembly sequences, and cooling system maintenance procedures. Technical notes are provided for the front fork suspension framework, steering components, and handlebar control configurations. Quality checks are addressed for brake pads, fluid systems, and ABS sensor spacing. The manual encompasses component-level procedures spanning engine electrical systems, alternator function, and starter motor diagnostics.

The K 1100 LT/RS mechanical framework documentation covers frame geometry, suspension strut adjustment, and wheel bearing specifications. The clutch assembly section documents housing alignment, diaphragm spring installation, and cable clearance parameters. Fuel preparation system data includes fuel pump pressure reference values, filter replacement intervals, and intake manifold torque specifications. The radiator section covers coolant capacity at 3.0 L with expansion tank volume, thermostat opening temperature reference data, and fan motor control thresholds. Exhaust system documentation includes oxygen sensor positioning and mounting sequences.

The troubleshooting chapter addresses diagnostic procedures for alternator function, starter motor operation, and battery condition assessment. Wiring diagram sections document electrical connections, relay locations within the central electrical unit, and ABS sensor circuit arrangements. The manual provides comprehensive coverage of transmission ratios (4.50 to 1.61 across five gears), rear wheel drive gear ratio specifications, and differential locking sequences. Component wear limits are referenced throughout, including piston clearance tolerances, valve seat dimensions, and bearing play measurement procedures.

The manual documents torque specifications for critical fasteners to ensure proper clamp load consistency. Maintenance interval tables reference oil capacity standards—3.75 L with filter change—and establish service check points at 1,000 km, 10,000 km, and 20,000 km intervals. Coolant concentration data specifies 40% antifreeze and 60% water for -28°C protection, while operating fluid grades are detailed for transmission, rear drive, and brake system applications.

FAQ

Reference the **specified** tool requirements for cylinder head bolt installation? keyboard_arrow_down

20 Nm initial torque is required for cylinder head bolts, with a 90° final tightening angle for complete proper engagement on the K 1100 LT/RS models.

What are the **essential** electrical values for the spark plug electrode gap? keyboard_arrow_down

0.6 mm (0.2362 in) plus 0.1 mm (0.0039 in) wear allowance represents the correct electrode spacing, with a maximum wear limit of 0.9 mm (0.0354 in) before replacement is mandatory.

Specify the **correct** calibration settings for valve clearance measurement? keyboard_arrow_down

0.15 to 0.20 mm (0.0059 to 0.0079 in) inlet and 0.25 to 0.30 mm (0.0098 to 0.0118 in) exhaust clearance must be set with the engine at maximum 35°C for accurate cold measurement.

What is the **documented** clearance measurement for the front ABS sensor gap? keyboard_arrow_down

0.50 to 0.55 mm (0.0197 to 0.0216 in) spacing applies for model years up to 1996, while 0.45 to 0.55 mm (0.0177 to 0.0216 in) spacing is specified from 1997 model year onward at maximum distance points on the pulse wheel.
