Hello there,
I am a new owner of 1984 K100RS. This bike is originally exported to Australia/New Zealand, somehow made her way to Jakarta, Indonesia illegally. As the Indonesian government did not allow import of big bike since 1965 to 1998. The population of BMW bikes are relatively small number compare to Harley Davidson.
Many bike enthusiasts are collecting and refurbishing old BMW such as R25, R26, R27 (19950's). Few are the 1980's and 1990's model.
It is VERY difficult and can be very EXPENSIVE to get technical information and spare parts for BMW bikes. My bike is not in a good shape and form at present. The indicator lights , low beam, fuel gauge, speedometer are not working. She starts well but NOT idling properly yet. I want to continue looking after and using this bike.
Can someone please give me advice on how to properly repair and maintain this bike?
Your advice and or comment are much appreciated.
Regards,
Adiwan Djohanli
