Hi, UK newbie with a K100 RS 16V to ressurect!
« on: September 05, 2012, 04:16:56 PM »
Hi everyone, I've just bought a 1990 K100 RS 16V that's been standing for 8 years. She has apparently been started regularly, but I haven't tried it yet as the battery is flat, not to mention there's absolutely no front brakes (leaky seals apparently) and the rear brake pedal is snapped. Can anyone give me a clus what I need to do first and point me in the direction of a manual as all the ones I've seen are for the 2 valve models, brake seals, a new bolt kit as mine are rusted and a rear pedal please? She's going to be my winter project ready for a trip to France in the spring, fingers crossed! I'm based near Reading UK, and any advice is gratefully received!

Cheers  Mud

Some good places for parts would be Motorworks, Motobins and James Sherlock.

Greetins Mud from Oz great to see another K getting a dose of Viagra.
Have a look on the Home page and go to the Lieberry and there you will find a "you just bought a 4V K bike what now" great read then if you go to the book shelf on the Home page the very top Sticky is a manual just waiting to be downloaded then drop in from time to time and let us know how the reserection is going.

Welcome Mud.
Lots of good information here for the taking.
Post a Picture of your ride when you can.
We love to watch projects being worked on.
