It does. The U-shaped groove in the pump face connects to it. Since
that groove doesn't bridge anything else to it, I just assumed it was a
relief channel by which minor oil leaks (under pressure) would drain
back to the sump.

Yes, the top and bottom parts of the crankcase join there. The half-moon
hole is actually a channel molded into the bottom half.

Right. Which echoes my original pea-brained assumption, and returns us
to my original question: why did (presumably) BMW defeat the design by
filling the channel with gasket material? :-|

Anton is right. If we're talking about the "D" shaped notch in the front of
the crankcase, it is a pressure relief design. BMW tells us to keep it free
of sealant during assembly, but there always seems to be some present when I
see them.
The official information is somewhere but I can't put my hands on it. I
though it was in a service bulletin but I can't find it. I just checked the
factory shop manual but it's not there either. Perhaps it's in a service
school book somewhere, I know I've seen this information somewhere and it's
just become habit to clear that area when I'm working on one.

(battery tender of course). It ran like a charm in spring/summer. We get

Hello,
I am new to the list and I just recently acquired a 1988 BMW R100RT. I
am in the process of replacing the front brake pads and I noticed that
the calipers are definitely not the same. Do I need to replace one of
the calipers to make the set matching, or can I run the bike as is?
Pictures of the calipers can be viewed at:

Welcome, Paul;
The calipers appear to be two of the same side, one of which has been
adapted for use on the opposite side. I would guess that the bike was a
crash repair, and that salvage parts were used. If the pads fit the
calipers properly, I.e., they do not have any side play, they should
work OK. I would look them over VERY carefully, though. Id more
concerned by the obvious crash damage to the right caliper.
I have a pair of used '95 RT calipers for sale, $300 for the matched
pair, let me know if you are interested.

I don't know if it's available in Oz but PJ-1 Satin Black Engine CAse Paint
is a good match and very durable, especially if you bake it after painting.

Subject: [BMWTech] Power connections
Hi all, I have a couple of questions:
1) I have just bought myself a TomTom Rider 2 (which is awesome, btw),
and need to hook up the wiring for the cradle somewhere on my 1984
K100 RT. I see from the wiring diagram in the Haynes manual there is a
"Connection for special equipment". What's this for? Police
lights/siren etc? Would this be a suitable place to take 12v off for
the GPS? Is the connector readily accessable?
2) At some point soon I'd also like to add an auxiliary power socket.
Unless I am much mistaken, the LT version had these so there would be
a connection for them somewhere. Would this be the abovementioned
connector on the civilian models?
3) Where's the most convenient place to put a power socket in terms of
usability?
Thanks,
Peter

You can wire in a GPS just about anywhere there's power since it doesn't draw much current. You'll find those
connections inside the relays box under the rear of the tank. Use your VOM and look for 12V and a ground and you're in
business. You'll see several connectors in there not being used. Some are for a factory alarm system, and some are for
special equipment. Could be for Police equipment, Factory Auxiliary Lights, etc.
However, personally I like to have my GPS remain on even when I shut the bike off. You may or may not find unswitched
power there. Check for power with the key off to determine that. That is, if you'd like unswitched power. I don't like
to have to reboot my GPS and find the satellites every time I stop for a break or for gas, or just to check the GPS...

The stock socket was installed on a small right angled bracket which screwed to the top of the coil cover. It had short
wires with a fuse onto a fuse in the stock fusebox which was for this purpose. It is unswitched, that is live at all
times and capable of enough juice to power heated clothing.

I don't find the side socket to be the best place to plug in anything. I like my up front sockets and have three of them
on my left kneepad. You'll find the left front is the best place to plug anything in. I found using the side socket for
heated clothing I was more inclined to forget it's plugged in and walk away. Up front I can see it, plug in and out
without getting off the bike, and know if it's plugged in or not. Plus I can keep track of the wires and don't have a
wire working its way under my butt or leg, etc.

Notice that on the right caliper the little ears stick down and cover

the top cover and they will match. Also notice that should a pin wish

I've had to repaint my '83 R100 valve covers several times, after scraping
them on high speed sweepers (yeah, in my dreams). The best paint I found
was Engine Black in rattle cans from my BMW dealer. That has, I have been
told, been discontinued. The best substitute I've found is Rustoleum Satin
Black. The UPC number is 2006677778. I got it at a Tru-Value hardware
store, but it should be available widely. The last thing I used it on was a
ToasterTan top brace. It was bare aluminum. After a quick wipe with
acetone, I gave it two medium-thin coats, and baked it in my oven at 150
degrees F for several hours. It looks great, nearly like a black anodized
finish. It is slightly glossier than the BMW paint, which was more like a
semigloss, but way short of a high-gloss paint. It's very close to the
original finish. You don't want to use a flat paint. It looks awful to
begin with IMHO, and doesn't wear well, turning grayish in the weather very
quickly. I haven't made this mistake, but I've seen the results of some who
have.

I will second this. I have used Rustolium satin black for many
projects and it just works out well. Baking it in an oven does cause
it to dry to its completed state faster. I put the oven on warm,
wait for it to reach temperature, then turn the oven off and put the
parts in. (wait for wife to leave first)
Also, the directions say recoat within 2 hours or after 2 days. They
mean it! If you recoat the next day it will lift the first coat off
every time.

Subject: [BMWTech] Clutch adjustment
How do I adjust the clutch on my 2000 R1100RT.
I know about the 12mm free play at the handle bar adjuster and the 7mm free
play of the clutch lever.
What I need to know is how to set the adjustment at the lever under the
bike.
The reason I ask is,
When the bike is cold the shifting is quiet/easy and flawless.
As soon as I get it warmed up to one bar (or more) on the temp gauge the
shifting gets noisy when going from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3.
Would this just be the adjustment on that lower clutch lever or a bigger
problem??

Subject: [BMWTech] Mismatched Brake Calipers?
the calipers do look like a right and left hand set.
Look at the relationship between the mounting ear and
the brake hose - on both sides the brake hose is
inside the mounting ear so they are a pair.
However - they are not matched. the details like
Brembo and the at the brake pad studs are different.
Brembo did make a 38mm and 40mm versions ( i think
those are the numbers) and BMW did make bikes with
only one caliper. IMHO - even if they are mismatched
there should not be a problem. Bikes with only one
disk still work fine despite their not being
symetrical. One may have been replaced with a later
version or a larger one. YMMV but I would ride it as
is and be happy at having dual front brakes.

Subject: [BMWTech] checking for possible ABS II blow out
I have 1997 R1100GS. The wire to rear sensor rubbed on my rear tire until it was rubbed through. I repaired the break, used the R1100 ABS II reset procedure. It seems to reset, but then still get alternatively flashing red lights at start up.
1. My concern is the sensor wires shorted out and now I have a blown ABS II, can a BMW shop check if my ABS II is blow out ?
2. If this is the case, is there a way of just replacing the electronics on ABS II, rather than $2,000 for a whole unit
3. I guess my best bet is to take it in for a computer read out. Does the LED test light procedure for reading ABS II codes, actually work for R1100GS

Uhh... How did you "repair" the wire using a reset procedure?
If you just reset it, you happened to do it when the intermittent
broken wire was connected. You did not repair it.
> 1. My concern is the sensor wires shorted out and now I have a blown ABS II, can a BMW shop check if my ABS II is blow out ?
Didn't the wire condition show up when you repaired "the break". (A
break/open is NOT the same as short or closure. In either case you
changed the resistance of the detection coil. I would not expect and
issue. Particulary for a "break.")
They can read codes just like you can.

ABS II is ABS II. The code readouts are the same. What you do when
you find them differs. It is just a means of counting dips.
When you find the pin does vary over time, but I think you are OK with an R11.
Check http://www.largiader.com for additional info on ABS too.

Paragraphs, not just for sissies.
I have tried to take apart the left side. I have not been successful
so far. I think I was close to destroying it.
I will be curious is someone does know what holds them together.
Where is the secret catch. The visible screw is not the only thing
that holds it together. :(:(

It'll be easy to remember once you see that there's only one way to do
it. Adjust the top threaded part to show 12mm of threads. That part's
simple. After that, there's only one way to get the 7mm lever gap
without messing with the 12mm, and that's by adjusting the screw on the
clutch arm.

If you have the 7mm of lever gap, the clutch should be disengaging
completely but you can try reducing it to a smaller number to promote
more disengagement if needed. If it helps, you have a clutch issue. If
not, it's either in the tranny or that's just 'how it is.'

I've done that before, taken apart the combo switch. be careful of the nasty tiny spring when you are doing surgery. If nothing is broken, you should be able to clean the terminal and repack it.
once u you find out whats broken, it very "easy" to repair. sometime its just a matter "adding metal" back to the contact point.
i just rebuilt my RT Hi/Lo light switch. It was 10 min job to take it apart but 30 min job to repair the worn out points.

Can you elaborate a bit about how you got the Hi/Lo switch apart? I
likely spent 30 minutes trying to get it apart. :(:(

Re;Power Connections.
Pete : I've just completed the very thing you're talking about.
I took a parallel set of wires off the side socket on my '86 k100
as it's on all the time and fused.
I ran the wires up with the loom under the fuel tank and out to the
left-hand panel and drilled a hole just under the fuel gauge
I put in the same type of socket as under the seat as they are quite
common now,
and you can get a plug that is BMW type and cig lighter type all in one.

there's a philip screw under the switch. once you remove it, the whole switch assembly will come out. since everything are painted black, you'll have to find the screw w/ a flashlight.
once thats done, from back of switch you'll see a number of smaller philip screws. leave them alone for now.
next, remove the very small philip screw thats holding the horn button. that one you'll need the "eye glasses" philip screw driver. Watch out for the small spring and pin. Now you can remove the screws holding the Hi/Lo switch and there are 2-3 of them.
You now have the switch apart. If you have a RT switch, you'll need to remove the screw holding the windshield switch as well..
The Hi/Lo switch itself is held together by a pin. All you need is to push it out. When you do that, watch out for more small part flying. Within the Hi/Lo, you'll find 3 springs, 2 pins, and 2 contact pt metals.
BTW, I'm writing all these from memory and I can be slightly off on the part counts. Bottomline, BE CAREFUL of all small parts. The switch won't work if any of them are missing!!!!

Looks like the standard method of disassembling it within a
large clear plastic bag would be useful here... :)

I do a few of these relocations every year. I place the filter on the
airbox under the seat, and simply use the BMW filter. No issues. The
biggest mistake people make is using the wrong fuel hose inside the tank.

I have that on my RS now at 150k miles. I think it just corroded
through from years of exhaust gases; I've seen it on other bikes. It
sounds like a Supertrapp, which isn't a good thing, so a new/used
muffler is going on soon.

What is the motivation for doing this? Do you really gain enough
additional tank capacity to be worth the trouble?

The dread scenario, David, is that you have just refueled, got a load of
bad gas, and cannot proceed without changing the fuel filter. Easier
done if your fuel filter is somewhere besides inside the gas tank.
Anton, I looked at mounting above the airbox, but a pretty busy location
on my bike, and a lot of hose.
I did look at fuel injection rated auto fuel filters, and they were all
MUCH heavier construction than the BMW OEM. I had also read that there
were some early burst failures of the OEM, first at the stamped logo,
and then at the crimp seam. I guess you would know?
Finally, I wasn't happy with the fuel hose loop running so close behind
the right cylinder head, just thinking of heated fuel, maybe a silly
concern?

Capacity? There's nothing in it about that.
Whereas on a K bike you can change the filter on a full tank (OK you
have to dip your hand into gasoline, but...) on an Oilhead you can't.
If you get a clogged filter from a load of bad fuel, logic dictates that
the tank will be rather full when it affects you. Ever changed the
filter on an RT at night in the rain on the side of the road with a full
tank? Neither have I, and neither will the people who've had the
conversion.
Standard: remove fairing (both sides), siphon fuel out (into what?),
remove tank, remove filter access plate, change filter, reassemble, hope
that you can get the fuel back into the tank, hope the O-ring goes back
into place, make sure the right-side throttle cable isn't out of place, etc.
External: remove seat, change filter.
The R1200ST comes with an external BMW filter mounted in the left
forward fairing.

On the airbox it's a non-issue. Fuel line from tank to filter, then
forward on opposite side of bike, behind alternator, straight shot to
fuel distributor. A big loop. The alternator space doesn't get so hot
that BMW worries about it on the R1150 Adventure, and that fuel is
hardly moving in the line. The fuel from the pump is always flowing
pretty quickly, so I don't consider it an issue even with the Lentini
location as long as the line is kept away from the cylinder.

Ah ... I see. A thousand apologies for my pearl of ignorance. I'm
obviously a brickhead and had no idea of that issue.

David,
The real advantage is the ability to easily replace the filter if one
clogs on the road. I first did it on Voni's R1100RS since she spent her
summers traveling solo all over North America. She would not be able to
remove the fuel tank, empty it, lay it on its side (on the shoulder of
the road?) remove the fuel pump plate, fish it all out, and change the
filter. But she can loosen two hose clamps, change the filter, tighten
the clamps, and head on down the road. I could do it the hard way
beside the road if I had a replacement O ring with me - but much prefer
to do it the easy way myself.
I did take one precaution: instead of the BMW filter which is an
aluminum body with a crimped end I use a Deautz 507 filter which has a
steel body and a welded end cap. A bad weld would show up the first
time it was pressurized, and thereafter it poses little risk of blowing
off. Certainly a lot less risk than the little plastic quick fuel
disconnects that BMW uses.

Is this the same part# filter that is used on the rest of the line, or did BMW use a filter
with heavier sidewalls??

Thanks Anton, appreciate the data. Next replacement I'll take another
look.
What about crimp vs screw type hose clamps? The only liability I could
imagine with the screw type is loosening over the life of the bike,
since once the fule filter is removed there will hopefully be no reason
to re-enter the fuel tank?

How about the Oetiker clamps loosening with regularity which is well
documented? Impulse loadings are bad on one shots. Chances of screw
clamps loosening IMO are a LOT less. The mechanics are not conductive
to loosening on FI rated clamps. Not the "slot" screw clamps.
The good news. The leakage will be to the tank interior unless they
blow off. Then it will still be to the interior, but injection
pressure will not be made.
