New to me 1991K 100 RS
« on: September 13, 2012, 08:33:51 PM »
So I had always wanted a brick and well I finally got one.

I just got a 1991 K100RS 16 valve.

Just finished my first 600 miles on the bike and couldn't be happier.

I do have a couple of questions though that I am not sure if are issues with just my bike, or if the answer is just they all do that.

First I have noticed that the clutch re-engagement is almost at the end of the shift lever travel and I was wondering if this might be indicative of an excessively worn clutch or if there was an adjustment that I could make.

The second issue with the bike is that there is a severe change in vibration between 3500 and 4000 rpm.  Again I am wondering if this is something that I will have to get used to or if this is indicative of a valve adjustment issue or perhaps something else.

Any advice that I could get would be greatly appreciated as I am currently in Ohio for the next week or so and after that it is my plan to ride it back home to Las Vegas...

Regards,

Oh pics coming soon

I had a couple of those.  Great bikes.

How many miles on yours?

I bought the bike in new jersey about a month ago with 37600 miles.  It was killing me because I was working in New York city for work and the bike was an hour away for a month before my contract ended.

So the second my contract ended I picked it up an literally did a 10 hour blitz to Troy Ohio to make it to a certification class.

I am going to be in Troy for another week and then it is my plan to do the cross country run back to las Vegas to make my next contract. 

I know its probably too much information but it kind of leads me to my next question. 

I am wondering if there are any brick riders/ wrenchers that might be willing to check out my new ride in the Dayton area. I am fairly competent turning a wrench but being new to this bike and the quirks associated with them it would be great to have some advice as to where to start.

Regards,

James

Ps I would post pics but I can't seem to do it from my iPad. Grrr
