Hello Folks,
I have been a fan of BMW motorcycles for as long as can remember, but just recently purchased a 1987 K100RS with just a little over 92k miles that has been sitting for over 2 years.  I have presented myself with somewhat of a double whammy on this one: this is my first BMW bike and this will be the first time I attempt to revive a bike that has been sitting for awhile.
Wish me Luck!
I am from Upstate NY and have some experience working on the Japanese bikes, but zero with the BMW's so this should be quite a learning experience for me...
Looking forward to being here!

gday clark welcome to the forum mate ,  theres plenty of information and know here here.

Glad to have you aboard.

Looking forward to your posts.

Welcome from another Upstater!  What part of the upstate are you in?

Similar story to mine in 2010 I bought my first bike in 15 years and first BMW a K100LT that was sitting for 4 years.

Best thing for you my man, is to go to the POrtal tab above and under the interesting links click "You just bought a used k100, so what now".

Welcome to the Klub!! 

Thank you all for the welcome!

I will definitely check out the Portal and see where I should begin, thanks KE75! 

Received he Clymer's Friday and thanks to the lovely search option here, I was able to find the string containing the link to the Factory manual and have downloaded that. Hopefully I'll have some time tomorrow to start my research.

Welcome from just over the border   

If you are near member Point-Seven-five, you are in luck - he has been very helpful to me

Sounds like whenever I go to New England on the brick next year I'll have to give you a call.

Sounds like a plan, please do! Hopefully I'll have made some significant progress by then...

First attempt at getting to the battery was successful today and even better, the battery will take a charge! One less thing...

Now to figure out this pesky ignition switch issue...

Welcome from downunda Clark
Quite a few of us have had to deal with that pesky ignition switch issue. It's easily fixed and we'll documented here on the forum.
Cheers
