First K-Bike!!!
« on: August 25, 2016, 03:58:26 AM »
Hy Guys,

I recently bought my first K-Bike - 1984 K100rs! Still getting to know her, but really enjoying every minute on the road!
The bike seems to be in excellent condition except for the odometer which isn't working, but one of the previous owners fitted a bicycle trip computer which seems to be working well enough. I was planning on having the cluster looked at, but I am now considering just leaving it as is? Wear and tear seem to indicate fairly low actual mileage..

looking forward to learning from the community! :2thumbup:

Welcome!

The odo is a fairly routine failure and not difficult to fix. A search will reveal all.
