The engine was hard starting six weeks ago, but after warming up for two minutes and then shut off would restart immediately. I rode it about 5 miles then and it ran well. The engine now will turn over but is not starting after 3-4 attempts. The gear indicator only shows 3 and 4, for all positions. The sender needs cleaning. The odometer and trip meter are inoperable, estimated mileage is 49,000.
I checked and adjusted valves at approx. 45K miles and it needed an exhaust shim replaced. It has a Parabellum windshield. the steering head bearings were replaced at 42K. Heated grips. BMW throttle lock. The rear splines are in excellent condition. Body work in very good condition. Has a rare Reynolds rear rack/backrest.
The tires need replacing, it's currently out of registration. The forks need a rebuild. Brake fluid needs replacing, the ABS is working.
The bike will come the original tool kit, original owners manual, a Haynes service manual, a BMW oil change kit, some service records, valve adjustment tools.
The RT was my winter/rally bike purchased in 2015 with 37K miles. I don't ride near it much nowadays. I was tempted to dismantle the K and work it into a cafe bike, but it seems a waste for a classic K and with the previous issues mentioned I can't collect the focus for that anyway. This K would make a great ride for someone to invest time/effort into it.
I'll post photos later, if needed. Any questions, interest can be recorded here or emailed to mhrooney@juno.com. I'm located in East Texas near Tyler.
I'm asking $1,100. Clear title.
