1989 K100 RS
VIN: xxx0149621
According to the US firm MaxBMW, the K100RS was produced until '89—at lease as imported to the USA—which could mean any RS 2V manufactured from the summer of '88 onward was tagged as an '89; otherwise, the '89 status could possibly be a quirk of the Ozian vehicle registration system. It's a nice looking specimen regardless of its age.RS Rider wrote:It appears to be a little bit of a mix of parts. It has an early one-piece front fender and forks. Didn't the '89s have the 4 valve head? That looks to be a pre-89 2-valve.
Jordan's Brick seems to have this rear disc, so all's right, in that world anyway, maybe.92KK 84WW Olaf wrote:I can't make out clearly from ther photo, if the rear disk is slotted like the front one it was recalled and replaced by a solid disk. The slotted ones crack. I had one on my RS and it cracked but I knew this was a risk. However it was sudden and it distorted at the same time. If your rear disc is drilled as opposed to slotted it will be ok.
Thanks Martin, I'll try that. Is there a specific gear set to buy? I ordered a "58 piece mixed gears" that look similar to those in Dan's instructions.MartinW wrote:Cheap speedo gear fix courtesy of Dan I think we've done over 6 replacements. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?

Its a good riding position.
I like it but I don’t know any different. I have sat on one other RS and I found the bars too narrow for my liking. My bike came with C bars.
The C bars use different throttle cable and front brake hos, not sure if they use the longer or shorter clutch cable.
I replaced all my brake hoses with Spiegler stainless steel ones and I did have to add several mm’s to the length of the top one. I can’t remember exactly how much it was, though.
It does use the longer clutch cable, and while I haven’t replaced the throttle cable, will get the longer one when needed.
