Picture and video File for this bike. photos.app.goo.gl/FWUmSiaE1tjq4RGR8
Here is the skinny on my fully updated and maintained 99 Canyon Red LT with under 33k on it!
When I bought this LT, I decided to pour everything I have ever learned into this one and have curated and used every part to make this particular LT a showroom example of an LT.
All of the clear plastic parts are as perfect as I could find with there being no yellowing or fading. Let me assure you, this is not easy to do! I have guardedly kept it under cover except on the days it gets used to keep them that way!
I pulled the trans to inspect the clutch just because I could and replaced the disc and O-ring on the clutch carrier to prevent future leaks. I am using 20-50 synthetic in the engine since it does not leak, nor should it!
I am selling it with the working Front and Rear recording camera system unless you really don't want it. It was a $400 system
The Denali DM lights in the front are hands down the best you can get in my opinion and are crazy bright. That set is a small fortune and they come on with the key.
Of course, it has new springs, HID headlight and brake lines and everything functions as it should.
There is no radio or cd player. That is the first thing I junk in any LT I own since they are garbage to begin with and just add unnecessary weight.
Tires are almost brand new with around 1k on them Shinko 999HD Long Haul Rear, Continental Road Attack4 front. The best combo I have used yet on an LT!
I can sell it with the Garmin XT mount but not the GPS unit. I will sell it with the "One Off" Custom fabricated, heavy duty aluminum mounting shelf that goes over the radio. I have transferred this to quite a few LT's and it has a cut out for the phone mount so the glove box opens all of the way. The Phone mount itself will stay with me however as it fits my phone and will go on my next bike.
You can see in the pics that it has a dual port USB connector.
All of the dash lights have been upgraded to white LED's
The seats will be the heated originals and I will include the backrest.
I will provide you with the service records and everything has been done for this year including the brake and clutch flushes.
As to the engine, I have performed a never before seen on the internet, throttle body balance. This has made a significant difference at startup and idle. BMW intentionally made the throttle bodies the type that cannot be balanced but I figured out how to do it.
It has a John Gemi chip in it and truly runs like a top!
I honestly cannot think of one thing on this bike that I have not yet done or would need to do!
Lastly, there is a mark on the right side fairing in the paint from a trailering mishap. I was going to put some carbon fiber decal over it but just did not get around to it yet.
There is a scratch in the windshield but this does not interfere with its rideability. I did not want to replace it as I love the OEM ws better than the aftermarkets.
You will see a lot of duplicate pics in the album as I tried to get pics in the sunlight as well as the shade. There are also two vids. One is a talking feature set and the other is a short 1 min vid for facebook. Contact me fast as this bike is sure to go quick!

What is your next bike? I’m in the process of buying a 2012 k1600gt… man what a bike!
Chris harris has video showing this replacement. He indicates that the junction box only comes out or is suppose to come out on the RHS. He also swears at it and the designer quite a bit.
they are expensive, but that's not something that changes every year, its changes twice in 10 years
Can you link to the fuel pump
Maybe next video. Fuel injectors?
I bought a 1999 K1200 LTC back in 2000 that had just over 400 miles showing on the odometer (original owner couldn’t handle the weight). I put 50,000 miles on that bike in a little over five years. Other than changing the oil and tires, the bike was absolutely trouble free. Great bike! Wish I kept it.
I have found my Topdon to be very sporadic. It will show the battery needs replacing, the retest shows 100% good battery, test again and it will be good or bad again. I don't trust my Topdon
I looking for a K1200LT cupholder got ONE? I have a 2008 model 37,000 miles asking $6000 on Craigslist Nashville TN.
Love that color.
FYI: The bike sold in the first 2 hours! Thanks to everyone! I am sure I will have another one coming up soon! In the meantime, my old bike is for sale as well! The grey 2000 that is featured in many of the videos and is featured on my torque spec poster. That one has all of the updates too but has more miles. Still a great bike though! He is not asking much for it and is very easy to deal with. I also have another friend that is selling a blue 02 if you are interested in that one. I did work on it but not to the extent that the grey one is. Let me know and I will get you in touch with the owners.
Not even a hint on the price!
Lot of good vids for service training. I have early 2001 RS with 15k on it. Great bike. Smooth
Do you by any chance also sell LT parts? I'm in need of the front speedo/speaker cover, and some side mirrors, let me know, I am willing to buy. Thank you
I have a 2004 k1200lt. Great bike
Kirk, I know you are the top man for the k1200lt but unfortunately I am in Scotland. I would buy it if I lived near you, dependent on price.👍
Can you give any details on the stash box/case under your plate? Assuming you have an air pump/tools in there. Good luck selling the bike. She's a beauty. (K1600 rider)
I also have a 7,000 mile mint k1200 Lt for sale. Wonderful bike. Love it. Negotiation is a possibility
Wow, very nice bike. Shouldn't last long.
I put 145,000. On my 2002 LT. I also watched your videos in the early years
I saw the manual only has up to a 2013. Do you think it’s pretty much the sane for what i have a 2015 gtl
Awesome bike 👍
asking? $
email me. kirk@kirksmotorrad.com
I think you will sell this bike by the end of the day !! Hope to see you again at your place Kirk. Greetings from Ecuador
Warranty?
Do you need one? If you are local, I will even include a free annual service! Contact me if you are interested.
God didn't give you a warranty. Why do you think BMW or Kirk should?
@@shamoy1000 So, if someone offers you a warranty when you buy a used car, will you be more or less likely to buy it. It's a reasonable question.
@@Larryjo44 probably. . Some warranties are just a come on.
Yeah, we all know you'll get another one. LT is in your blood.
Hermosa maquina , yo tengo una idéntica, mismo color , mismo año pero no en las mismas condiciones físicas como tu motocicleta , saludos Kirk !!!
I have same bike but it's trike. I love it. Your bike is in excellent condition. 👍
9.4.24. I prefer a K1100 … but you should ☝🏼Keep it‼️… since you’ve put so much work into it 🎯
I am trying to up my game for more great content with a different bike!
@@kirksmotorrad 9.4.24. Are you thinking 🤔 about a GoldWing❗️or a 1600 BMW❓🫨
@@stevensapyak7971 I am not old enough for a Goldwing! I am a BMW guy!!
@@kirksmotorrad 9.4.24. 45 years ago when I used to ride Harleys, my riding buddy took a gold wing for a ride from a friends insistence, the friend asked him what he thought… He said it’s OK if you like a tipped over jukebox❗️🤦🏻♂️
Thank you 🙏
I'm 5'6" tall with a 30" inseam. Can someone my height handle this bike?
best way to find out is to get on one. I would think you can but will be on tip toes
What's the direct link to the seal kit? I check the Amazon store and couldnt find it.
I sell them. Contact me at kirksmotorrad.com
@@kirksmotorradSo a quick question before I reach out, the stain goes almost all the way up but then it falls right back down. Like it doesn't have enough pressure. I'm not sure how to add fluid yet and if I need to take off the whole cylinder to add fluid. I noticed the first time I tried to use it, it dripped some oil. I just purchased the bike so I'm thinking it was sitting for a while and a lot of the fluid can have dripped out? If so, does this mean I just need to replace the seals without the o-rings? And top off on fluid?
@@tracytillett You can start by refilling it but it needs to get rebuilt to work properly and not leak. It is low on fluid. I have another video on rebuilding if you do a search. If you need seals or want me to rebuild it, reach out at kirksmotorrad.com
@@kirksmotorrad thanks. Yes I watched your other video in the rebuild and service after I made this comment. I'll be reaching out later today about ordering the seal kit
someone help me please, my first motorcycle I have a k1200 lt 2001, I'm working on it, I bought it from a person who left it parked for 9 years, I did everything necessary and now it's working, but when it starts it emits smoke with shades of blue or white, I don't know, and for a while when it's running it slows down with smoke, but it doesn't stop coming out, signs of wear on the piston rings are common on heavily used bikes, but it only has 18,000 miles, it could have been damaged by stay still for a long time?
Smoke is normal on startup if you left it on the side stand.
Thanks for the vid!!
It looks very good. We have a wireless portable motorcycle speaker with a BMW motorcycle mount. Looking forward to cooperating with you, how can I contact you?😊
I wish I saw your videos before buying a used 2001 1200lt. Im no mechanic so now I am at a loss. Suspect main seal and clutch, and or the final drive. Ive had it one day and now Im waiting on the title to be sent so I can post it for sale.
Why not send it to me and I will gladly fix it for you? kirksmotorrad.com
@@kirksmotorrad I just sent you my info. Thanks
great to see you again
I would of tipped her over three times walking that up onto the lift. I have no idea how you did that by yourself!!
What tires did you put on it?
Shinko 777 HD rear Dunlop Roadsmart 4 front A great sticky combo!
@@kirksmotorrad do you have a video on this specific setup? I’d really be curious of your thoughts. I’ve ran 880’s, 888’s, and now BT20’s. All have their pros and cons. We did 3 days in the rain on the blue ridge parkway in the rain with the BT20’s and actually enjoyed them. But cupping front and life are not the greatest.
@@edhoffius4389 I did one on the Shinko but I dont think I did one on the ContiAttack yet
KIRK GLAD TO SEE BACK ON UTUBE GREETING FROM NORTHEAST PA I HAVE A 2005 WITH 10K ON IT LOVE IT NEED TO RIDE IT A LITTLE MORE....BEST. JIM
OMFG. A cross made out of guns and bullets...murica!
Thankyou for sharing your work. I have a 99 LT and it is my daily rider, I love it.
Kirk, even though I sold my 2000 KLT, I love watching you work on the finest road bike ever made!! 😊
Hi from Finland 🇫🇮,I got to ask you, what clutch do you recommend?
How did you get rid of the pimples in the chrome work. Everything looks amazing.
Liberion 4/0 steel wool. dry. Works wonders!
Hey Kirk, good to see you're still making videos. You were an amazing resource back when I had my 2000 KLT. As soon as I saw your clutch replacement series I put it up for sale though. Switched over to an FJR1300. So much easier to work on. Sometimes I miss my big blue couch though.
Was the tank inside corroded?
Not at all. The bike is in great shape!
Had 185k on my 03 when we got hit from behind by a truck, Loved it.
I recently purchased a 2005 and would like to take it on a trip but not sure how to tie it down. It will be in a chock. Appreciate any help I can get. Thanks
I would like to see that shaker tube in action
Next time I need it I will make a vid on it but here is one for you now. czcams.com/video/EmGgzeBiPhE/video.html
Makes me miss my 99 LT. Also, great work that you did on my GTL!
Nice video Kirk. I'm currently doing the clutch in my 05 and I wish I could work as fast as you. I see you have a new watch as well. I'm an OMEGA guy as well.
I truly LOVE my watch! So classic and functional! Thanks for noticing!
@@kirksmotorrad Omega are great watches. The only ones I own that actually go up in value. I have a couple of Speedmasters. I'm Wazza off the K1200 LT forum.
What did you find with the front shock?
An excellent question! The shock was in great shape. That oil was from the blown out steering damper throwing oil at speed back onto it. I swapped both the shock and the spring though to freshen it up!
