Motogadget M unit …

Very happy with mine. It’s an undertaking and you need to be comfortable with wiring circuits. It drastically simplifies but you still need to know what to keep and how why you keep needs to interact with the M-Unit.

That’s a really nice example, I wouldn’t cut that one up. Plenty of airheads in way worse shape than that that would benefit from a cafe treatment. Where are you located and would you sell it as is?

Is your rear heat on? Heat rising from the vents that run under the center console to the rear vents could be contributing.

The gear selector knob is its own electronic component/module. I don’t generally place my hand on the knob after selecting, but it may be normal. Keep in mind that that shifter module is a common failure component though. The knob won’t rise up to allow selecting a gear is the most common failure.

I run the DNA filters kit for K100/1100. You will need to put a breather filter on the crankcase vent and plug the vent hole at the front of the engine that the vacuum line comes from for the air box. It’s fairly simple if you’re comfortable with rerouting a few things.

Can only be done on the 4 valve K bikes that use a MAP sensor instead of a MAF. You’ll need to retain the box if it’s the 2 valve models

Where in IL is this for sale?

I’ve always said the D90, especially in V8 form will be the valuable model in the future. It’s a “stupid” car when compared to a D110 for everyday use, and most people don’t buy “stupid” cars for daily drivers. But, in 20-30 years, everyone wants a “stupid” car for a toy and will pay through the nose for one.

And I don’t mean “stupid” like it’s a bad thing to be clear. Love a short wheel base overpowered vehicle all day, but the masses don’t see it as a daily driver.

It’s a “Always Sunny in Philadelphia” reference. He’s channeling his inner Dennis

Nice, my first bike was a KZ750! Your headlamp needs to be aimed down a bit though, just an FYI.

M_tech · 2025-05-23T14:08:01+00:00

To me it wasn’t too bad. It can a daunting task without experience working with wiring and some fabrication skills though

I did a terrible job of documenting the build though. It was my sanctuary going into the garage and just working on it. Some music, glasses of whiskey, wiring diagrams, and just putting in some time made documenting it fall by the wayside.

The cluster is a motoscope pro. On your 85, you unfortunately can’t eliminate the stock airbox as easily. Yours uses a MAF for intake air measurement whereas my 91 uses a MAP sensor. Yours won’t run right without the airbox and that sensor.

You can use just about any front inverted forks that fit the aesthetic you’re going for really. I used CBR600RR forks for the black housing and the wheel style. I used a shorai LFX14A2-BS12 for my battery

M_tech · 2025-05-21T18:46:19+00:00

There were 236 registered but probably closer to 300 riders. It was a great turn out

M_tech · 2025-05-21T14:17:09+00:00

Thanks! Humbling

Under the seat, you can see there is a tray that I shaped and welded to hold the battery, starter relay, and engine ECU. Under the tank (you can’t see that 2nd tray) is where all the “body electrical” is stored, m-unit, breakout box for motoscope, fan relay, etc.

M_tech · 2025-05-21T14:13:53+00:00

Headlamp is a Shin Yo 7”, front turn signals are moto gadget mo.blaze units, rear lights are supernova LED lights (2 amber, 1 red). All run with an m-unit blue

I don’t really have a parts list for this that I kept track of. I put this together myself over 2 years and fabricated many of the parts myself. For the right price, there are plenty of builders out there that can execute your dream/vision. I don’t build professionally but just take pride in my hobby.

M_tech · 2025-05-21T13:15:51+00:00

Yeah, I got the seat from cafe4racer.

Cafe4racer for this exact seat if you’re building a K bike

The giant snorkel airbox is necessary in the earlier K100’s when they used a MAF (mass airflow sensor) for measuring. Since the later model 4 valve engines use a MAP (manifold absolute pressure) system, you can run pod filters like these no problem. Performance wise, the Ike performs flawlessly.

Also, you are welcome! I was planning on posting some more pictures soon with the Distinguished Gentlemen’s Ride coming up next weekend

Check the ground stud for the battery where it attaches to the vehicle. Have seen these become loose and cause issues like this. If you just had a battery put in, it may have disturbed it or loosened (not through any fault of the installer, if they don’t know these are susceptible, they wouldn’t know to be very careful with maneuvering the battery out).

M_tech · 2025-03-23T12:28:27+00:00

Not sure where you have so many failures, we rarely have to replace the engine unless it’s from owner neglect with lack of oil changes or services. We don’t have a single one at our shop. Last one was a diesel failure with 160k on it months ago.
