Hello all,
I acquired a 1985 BMW K100RT with 75k miles on it 2 weeks ago. I have been enjoying the bike so far. This forum has helped me with learning more about the bike. I am planning on doing some preventative maintenance this week, as well as clearing up a small starting problem. I think the cause is the fuel filter since I can hear the fuel pump running when I press the ignition, and it didn't have a problem until I ran the bike low and refueled. I also picked up some new spark plugs just in case that could be the cause, and I don't know when they were changed last. I am also planning on re-lubing the spline this week, or next week (depending on time). I've seen a lot about Honda Moly 60 mixed with Wurth Sig 3000, but I can't find any of the Honda Moly, wondering what others use for their spline lube.
Happy to be here, and looking forward to enjoying the K bike for years to come.
