Did you check the brake light bulb?
If you change the fuel and air filter here's where they are located.

The air filter is under the gas tank.

Where did you get the big spanner wrench for the retaining ring?
Probably at a farm or hardware store.
It's a Channel Lock filter wrench.

Lee,
Thanks for the link! I need to change the air and fuel filter this spring and this will be a better wrench than I used the last time. Which brings a question. The link you sent is for the 212 Channel Lock wrench with a max. 4.25" opening. There is also a 215 model with a 5.5" capacity. It's been a while since I changed the fuel filter, but in my mind that retaining ring is at least 4" if not bigger. Am I mis-rememebering?
I checked my wrench and it's stamped 212. I measure the opening as 3.5 inches to the end of the tooth.
And the wrench you have obviously fit the retaining ring? .
Lee-
I see you had an 84 K110LT. EDIT: Now I see you had a R1000RT, but you might still be able to answer the question.
That's correct.
Lee (and those who might care),
I have a similar wrench in my tool cabinet, but I'm a cheapskate airhead owner who sometimes goes for the low-cost option on infrequently used and low-tech tools. I think this is the wrench I have, but it only opens to 3.25".
I've been able to use it on my brick-K, but also have one of these which has bailed me out a time or two on various vehicles.
And of course, a strap wrench works too--if the strap is thin enough to slide in place.
But if you want a truly permanent piece of kit, the Channellock 212 is the go-to.
Best,
DeVern
