Iowa has a new k100 rider
« on: April 02, 2017, 08:56:54 AM »
My search, over.  Got my new motor baby home yesterday. 


1985 BMW K100 with 26k.  Brought it home during the window in the bad weather yesterday, [color=inherit !important][/size][size=inherit !important]60 mile[/size][/color] ride.  Ran like a sewing machine. 


Really stoked to get my riding skills and confidence back up to par (14 years since [color=inherit !important][/size][size=inherit !important]last[/size][/color] bike).  Then some summer rides.

There's a K75 Rider's Manual available for download here from the Technical Library Index. The K100 and K75 share the same control types, equipment layouts, and starting procedures. There is also a K100 workshop manual in the index, too.
