Howdy y'all(Norco has had the largest per capita of horses in the US, no we don't own any now, did when I was a kid and found out how much work they were..lol)
Recently purchased a poor/non running 03 LT with 65K on the clock, no front brake pressure. Trailered it home, it is now completely dismantled. So far I've replaced the brake lines with Spieglers, replaced plugs with Iridium, new fuel filter/ring gasket(found the cause for the poor running, hose from pump to filter was completely porous), replaced original fuel injectors with rebuilt 4 hole injectors, re-wrapped disintegrating wiring loom housing in both handle bars down to the fuse box(and other places), pulled air filter and found a K&N(will clean, re-oil and replace that). Will replace the handle bar grips, flush the complete brake system including the servo and clutch, change all oils and coolant. Bike already had LED headlight, PIAA running lights, upgraded windshield and a EBC rear rotor. Most recent check were the valves while everything was apart, only 3 intakes need attention(.13/14).
This site, along with the videos from illinoisBMWriders have been a huge help, Thanks!! I do have the Clymer manual and also downloaded the BMW repair pdf. http://www.bmwbmw.org/tech/BMW-K1200LT.pdf
Looking forward to finishing this project up soon. Will be wanting to find some cam followers in the next few days after I pull the cams out to see what I'll need.
Cheers!
Matt
