Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a 1987 K100RS with only 53K miles on it. The bike starts and runs fine, and it has not leaked fluids on the garage floor since I rode and parked it two weeks ago. Today, I started to do a full inspection to replaces fluids and any necessary part (e.g. bearing, seals, clutch, etc.). However, the first thing I noticed it was the oxidation and water marks on the radiator. Is this normal on the K100s or could this be caused by a crack in the radiator or damaged hose or loose clamp. Any advice on how to check or test it will be appreciated. TIA!
