Hi all
Just finished most of the resurrection works on my K100RT (early 1985) that was idle for more than 8 years.
Satisfied so far , took her for a couple of short rides almost 200km put on it since past Monday.
One of the things i didnt change is the air filter.
Read a lot about air filters, etc and i m between a Bosch Air filter and a KN BM2605 one.
As i see from my notes the last time i changed the filter was at 100.000km (2001) and now i m at 108.000
Mechanic ( which i dont trust ) said he checked it and it's fine just cleaned/lubed it but didnt changed it.
Should i change it?
What is a typical symptom to indicate changing? Bike responds very positive to any gas twist in the whole rev range.
