Hello Everyone,
I just joined the forum. I have a 1985 K100RS that I've owned since 1991. Unfortunately, my bike sat dormant for the past 12 years. I got it started yesterday just by replacing the battery and adding fresh gas. There was old gas in the tank so I was expecting the fuel pump to be frozen and my injectors to be clogged. Not the case. The motorcycle gods were on my side.
So I'm now on the the path of getting it back on the road. As you can expect after sitting for 12 years, it needs some TLC with all new fluids, filters, potential hoses, splines lubed, cables lubed, etc.
In addition, I now have the gear position switch issue so I'll be investigating that too (when I do my spline lube).
Sincerely,
Jim
