I am trying to set a new baseline on my New to me 1985 K100rs. Changed the oil, tranny oil and rear oil. Flushed the brakes front and back. Checked the valves, all within clearance. Was a bit nervous but with the help of this group, you tube and the Clymers manual I did it. Still haven taken it out yet. Hope I did it correctly! The oil is after a run at the dot in the center. The tranny oil is at the line on the spanner wrench. The rear oil is up to the beginning of the threads. Torqued to spec from Clymers manual. Watched Chris Harris's video on the valve check and did what he did all the way down to forgetting the darn rubber half round things in the valve cover. had to remove it quickly .clean and re-rtv the corners. Looks good but time will tell. Need to do the coolant. What coolant do you guys use. How much does the bike take? Is engine ice worth the price? Do you guys use the 50/50 mix of vinegar and distilled water to clean the radiator?
Thanks in advance.
