Hello folks.
I was on holiday in California in March 2010, and wanted to a bit of motorcycling, having not owned a bike for over 20 years. I bought a 1987 K100RT and had a ball, and liked the bike so much I brought it home with me. It's a bit ratty cosmetically, but rock-solid reliable and does all I require.
I've knocked out 20,000 kms on it since then, and just want to ride it more and more. And more. I also quite enjoy the maintenance on the whole - so far I've done 2 final drive and one input spline lube(s) and taken the gear box out to do the "grub screw tightening rumba". What a lark!
Anyway, I've been prompted to post here because I want to get at the files section. While I'm here, does everyone agree with Haynes that you can replace the headlight bulb without taking off the windscreen or instrument cluster? I can only just reach in there, and before I yank out the socket I'd like a second opinion.
Yours in K100RT solidarity,
Richard
