Hi, and greetings from Australia on a coolish May afternoon. While it’s usually warm in Oz, I live in the mountains west of Sydney (hills by most other countries’ standards) at an altitude of just under 900m. We’ve already had a smattering of snow this Autumn. I’ve been a member for a while, been following posts for a couple of years and thought I’d better (finally) introduce myself. I’m the proud owner of a 1984 K100RS that I bought as a non-running project a couple of years ago. My aim was a renovation back to original, not a full restoration, and not a cafe. Well, I eventually got it running by replacing the injectors and fuel rail (rusted after sitting for a number of years), the fuel pump, filter and all the fuel lines; all the fluids, plugs, battery and the usual consumables. The bike had no working brakes at either end, so I overhauled them and replaced the lines with braided lines made locally. Unfortunately, the rear master cylinder and rotor had to be replaced. Most of the electrics were salvageable and, after much fiddling and cursing, managed to get the old girl running and registered on Club plates. I’ve had a few runs, mostly local, til I build trust in her. Currently she’s sitting in the shed not running again. I suspect the Hall sensor, as there is no spark on cyl 2 or 3, even after swapping the two coils. Anyway, I’m sure there is a lot more entertainment and enriching of parts suppliers to come.
Thanks for having me and apologies for the delayed intro.
