Hello,
This is my first post on this forum and I am looking forward to being a part of it. I just purchased bike #4- a 1985 K100RS with no less than 251k miles on it. The bike runs strong but has a bit of a rattle at idle. So, I am trying to learn whether it is the six rivet output shaft or the timing chain that is rattling. This forum is a great resource for information and if anybody can chime in and help me identify the noise, great. Ideally I would like to find someone in the WI area (shop or private person) who can help with input spline lube, too. I am not yet comfortable tearing that deeply into a bike. My other bikes are a 1976 R60/6, 2002 1150rt, 2093 r1200cl.
Thanks!
