Hi All,
Got muy hand on a 1987 K100RS with 21K miles that was sitting in a garage for almost 20 years. Those of you that have resurrected an older bike probably know what Ive been faced with from the disintegration of all things rubber in the gas tank, and bad fuel throughout the entire system, clogged injectors, dry rotted rubber hoses and much more. this bike is in prefect shape which made the challenge worth while however the timing of this project coincided with the summer months in the Las Vegas summer and it made the work in the garage unbearable so.........the bike is now sitting in my kitchen..LOL
Ive been working almost non-stop for the last 4 weeks and I finally got it all back together last night for its maiden run which went almost perfectly with a couple of issues. the fan self-destructed after 30 minutes even after I purposely checked it before putting the fairing back on and the speedo is action a bit bizarre which is why I'm on here tonight as I spotted this software that can emulate the pulse to the speedometer to calibrate it. Now Im trying too get my hands on this software so I can fix the speedo and fab now that the bike is back in the kitchen with the radiator out and the fan motor on order.
Sorry for the diary but when you live alone, sometime a guy just need to tell someone about his project trials and tribulations..
