Basically New member
« on: May 09, 2016, 04:03:10 PM »
Hey all, figured I should introduce myself after I've been gleaning knowledge off of here for a few months. Picked up an '88 K100RS Special Edition w/ABS (white pearl/blue) with 124k on it a few months ago. Slowly (way too slowly) trying to get it back on the road - new fuel pump, clutch cable, battery, ECU (which i didn't actually need) were the first to get swapped out just to get it to fire. Then tires and fluids were just recently done to try to get it up and down the road. Valve check is next. Glad all you guys exist as this is the most helpful brick site out there. Thanks!

Mike

So this is the third time I have tried to post :dunno...I fear the RER were for me.  Anyway, welcome Mike.  I own your bikes' younger sister.  Keep working...eventually you will get to the fun stuff (headlight relay, led lights, manual fan switch, etc.

OCIA is an organic certifier.  All "organic" operations have to be certified by the USDA :deal:.  We have been certified since 1989.  I doubt we produce JO's preferred cultivar :hehehe.  We are basically field scale w/cattle and processing.
