Welcome andyo,

Along with many others, I've found this forum very friendly and helpful. To coin a phrase, what they don't know isn't worth knowing. 

Cheers,

Bill

There is an extremely useful fault finding guide that can be accessed from the download section. You will need to send a message to Bert (Crazy Frog) to get access.

It's the best guide I have seen for the K100.

welcome andyo.

Small hands help a lot if you are doing the fuel pump but if you haven't got them already then there's probably not much you can do to alter that.
Be vary careful that you don't break the plastic tabs that connect the fuel pump. Big problem if you do. Have a look with a mirror first to see how it fits together.
