The BMW K1100 LT and RS motorcycles, produced between 1991 and 1997, represent a significant evolution in BMW Motorrad's K-series lineup. These models are powered by a longitudinally installed, liquid-cooled, 1093cc inline-four engine featuring Double Overhead Camshafts (DOHC) and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), delivering robust performance with 100 hp. Known for their strong engineering, comfortable touring capabilities, and reliable shaft drive, the K1100 series built upon the foundation of earlier K-bikes, offering enhanced performance and rider comfort. The LT variant, in particular, was designed for long-distance journeys, while the RS model offered a sportier profile.
This comprehensive workshop service repair manual provides essential information for the maintenance, diagnosis, and repair of the BMW K1100 LT and RS models. It covers all major systems, including the engine, fuel preparation, lubrication, drivetrain, chassis, and electrical equipment, with detailed procedures for scheduled maintenance, oil changes, fluid checks, and component overhauls. The manual includes in-depth repair instructions, troubleshooting guides for common issues, and technical specifications, making it an invaluable resource for BMW K1100 owners, independent mechanics, and professional technicians seeking to maintain their motorcycles in optimal condition.
