1100 clocks

[45grum]

Hello All

My Jap import 94 1100GS has no RID on the dash and I was wondering if the wiring was in place to fit a UK spec clock set.
Do all 1100GS's have the same wiring loom or is the jap one unique and what else would be needed like fuel level sender and temp sender and gear selector counter? or is it not worth worrying about because they are not very good anyway?
So far I adjusted the valve clearances and lengthened the stand and adjusted the stand stop so now it does not look like it is resting on the head when it is on the stand I also disabled the stand cutout as these infuriate me and every bike i own gets this treatment.
I find working on the bike much nicer than the old boxers
( airheads ) as they seem to be better thought out and engineered although the finish on some parts does seem iffy.

Cheers Graham..

Dont know the answer, but have a look for a wiring diagram. Should be able to find a link here. Then have a look for a physical plug which aint doing anything....

Could be nice, but TBO you could easily live without it...

Steptoe might well be your man

Hope this helps- I have just done the same thing on my 2001 850GS.
Points to look for are if there are two wires tied to the lhs rear subframe this means that your bike has a gear position switch.
Check on top of the rhs of the engine to see if there is an oil temperature sensor.
Finally lift the tank and there should be (9) I think way connector block fixed to the spine of the frame.
If all these are there it is just a case of ordering a new instrument surround (about £17) and finding a RID ((M*tobins had some on offer new for about £100), or look for a s/h one
I dont know how true this is but all GS's after 1999 had the bits and wiring
The whole job took me about an hour


Good luck

A friend of mine has a German imoprt GS.

No Rid, but the connection is there.
Fuel level sender and gear indicator are already installed.

Buy one and plug it on.
