Hi Shaun500.  Had the same problem with mrs P KLE . Put in a 2nd hand unit & it caused hugh KAK . It charged at 14 odd volts top end of the recomended range. This fried the headlamp bulb. next trick was to burn out the starter relay and a few diodes in the main connection box (made the starter...

Hi LeCap,  No ,the plugs fitted 100s but the lights came on without even turning on the ignition. I had had my one repaired again,[relay] & bought a new voltage reg.from Moto Comp in DURBAN  R1200 including overnight delivery, itfitted perfect , plug & play. charge voltage down to13.7 v . Kawa...

Thanks Le Cap . We stripped the box  and checked all the diodes & relays  & found one from a gate motor control with 10 amp rating . Cost : R45 soldered in and all fixed . Case closed.  but as MURPHY is allways just behind me, last Sunday we went for a ride and the speedo packs up, Surprise...

Thanks  Pullaway & Tweespoor, I will sort  out a puller when I get the bike back, at the moment  it would appear  that its either  the starter circuit  relay or a diode problem, you turn on the ignition  as normal ,all the idiot lights come on, punch the starter button & the motor fires up...

Hi folks, Has anyone got a spare main junction box, the one with all the fuses & relays in. It seems like the starter relay on Mrs P bike has packed up, as once you hit the starter button the starter motor keeps on running. Its not the starter solinoid ,that is fine .The relays & the diodes are...

Hi  GUYS, I bought a set of big boy pegs and springs for R 100 from the local agent and fitted them today, no hassel ,just needed a little grinding on the stops to get them to lie flat,and atouch on the bottom to get them to fold up & nip off the hook on the spring. Dont know if they will fit a...

Hi Folks, Have any of you experianced  hassels with clearances on your inlet valves getting less &less over +_  5000 km . Have had the bike for 14000 k,s ,& have to adjust clearences  far to often . Starts off with erratic starting ,and gets worse&worse . I got so pissed off with reliability...

It looks OK ,but reading all the magazine tests suggests very few improvements have been made,if any , to the old model as far as the weak spots like crap side stand,steering head bearings ,water pump gears  ,front fork seals.                                                                     ...
