Hi guys. OK. After purchase a couple of weeks ago of the 1984 UK K100RT I've done the oil and filter and final drive oil, removed the tank and sprayed all the electrical connections and relays etc, with contact cleaner (they all looked pretty good) had to replace the light/starter switch anyway.
While the tank was off replaced the coolant. I've done lots of little things that just needed doing like adjusting the free-play in the throttle (it was set incorrectly at the handle). Next on the list is to bleed the brakes and change the gearbox oil. The bike is running great and the front forks don't seem to need any attention yet (previous owner tells me they had the seals replaced not long ago).
I have managed all of this with a HUGE THANK YOU to this forum and all the advice I've read up on.
Two questions..
The radiator fan comes on and off ok, but the heat generated and fanned back is HOT! I've read a lot and seems like this might be normal, but what is normal 25-30DegC on your legs??
Service wise .. Is there anything I'm missing?
Cheers and thanks again. Geordnz I'm loving the K100RT
