Fuel filter screw up-my fault.

Hi folks, Yesterday I wanted to take a peak at the insides of my gas tank. I removed the gas cap housing and gently pulled out the fuel filter and two tubes, one connected to the fuel filter the other was overflow. Anyways I didn't go any further than look at them. I then replaced the tubes and the ...

Re: Brake fluid reservoir question

OK thanks for clearing up that mystery. So when bleeding the brake, I have to remove that liner so the fluid can drain through the system, then when complete, add the brake fluid to the reservoir to the max level, attached the liner (collapsed) on the cap, and screw the cap onto the reservoir?

Brake fluid reservoir question

Hello friends, I noticed that the rear brake fluid reservoir was completely empty, so I filled it up. Strangely, the fluid did not drain down into the tube below. I thought it must be air bubbles in the system, so I tried bleeding the rear brake. I got some fluid out, but the fluid in the reservoir ...

Grounding a wire

Hello all,
I want to wire an accessory plug from the battery to the handlbars. I found the perfect plug, but I have to ground the ground wire somewhere around the handlebars. Does anyone have some helpful suggestions on where to ground it? Thanks.

Re: Electrical connector under driver's seat

Thank you everyone that answered my post. Next Spring I'll reconnect the wire and see what happens. Maybe my fuel efficiency will improve.

Re: Electrical connector under driver's seat

I got the photo of the connector and wire I'm talking about. But can't figure out how to upload it to this message board. Anyways I think it's used for diagnostics, I just don't know what the cable is used for.

Electrical connector under driver's seat

Hi everybody,
I'm a new owner of a 2000 R1100R. I noticed that under the driver's seat is a cable and a plugin for the cable, but I don't know what it's for. I couldn't find mention of it in the manual.
