Kinda newbie...

Not really though..


I have owned a 02 K1200lt sold & miss her.
Currently own 05 K1200S & HP2 and a bunch of other bikes in the stable.


Got the itch & always loved the original K's.


So I picked up a 91 K100rs well cared for from an older gent in excellent shape 34k on the clock.


I have been reading a lot of the threads here & all I can say is WOW!! 


The wealth of information here is awesome it already helped me greatly & I don't even own the bike a week)


Unfortunately, I didn't find the parts cross reference before I let my stealer bend me over I knew better (( that will not happen again.


Thanks for all you folks do for these awesome bikes.


Please be forgive me if I ask something that has been covered before but I suck at searching on any forum ((


But, I promise not to start an oil thread ))

Welcome! Read this unless you want to keep sucking, of course. :giggles

How about posting some photos of your bike?

Welcome!

As another 1991 K100RS owner I can assure you that you will find pretty much everything you need here, though a word to the wise if yours is a 16V bike quite a lot of what is here only sorta applies, the 16V was a pretty major overhaul compared to the 2v K bikes. 

If you do not for any reason find what you need (I also find the search function here something of a challenge) just ask, I have been through my bike pretty much top to bottom and have had huge amounts of help and support from many great people on this great site.

Should be a "modify" button top right of post, but who knows if you're on a phone  :yow    Nice un-molested bike there!

[K100Pilot]

Thank you, she is a fine example ))


I also picked up a "parts" bike a couple days later with 20k on the clock that was stripped of most of its bodywork but otherwise intact.


She actually runs a lot better that this one, and is as quiet as a sewing machine )


The one pictured has a kind of skip in it at & just off idle sounds just like my K1200S.


I took her around town when I first got her with a Seafoam dose in the tank but it didn't seem to help much.


I haven't gotten back to her as I had a heart attack last Monday & have been trying to get some of my other bikes tucked away for winter storage. ((


I for sure don't know how to attach a video!!

[K100Pilot]

P.S. No modify button :nono

I for sure don't know how to attach a video!!

Go to the Photo Guidance section and create a gallery. You can post images and videos using it. If the instructions are too complicated to understand, mechanical work should probably be avoided too.
  :hehehe

If you're just posting a YouTube video, all you need to do is paste its URL in the reply box and it will open when you post it. You won't get a Modify button until you've done more posting.


Until then, preview your posts and work the kinks out of them before you post them.
