Hi folks!
I got my 1985 K100RT back together after replacing the rear main seal and I am on the road. Yesterday, after sitting in traffic for over an hour my temperature light came on and shortly after my bike died and I quickly pulled to the side of the freeway. After inspection the coolant had blown out of the reservoir. I was able to get more coolant back into the bike, but could not get it started. After fiddling with things for a few hours I finally called a tow truck to the nearest BMW dealership. I called them this morning and they can't look at it today. It seems like maybe the bike is not getting fuel. I pulled the plugs and they seemed dry, no coolant leaks, I think the fuses are ok too. Well, I am stuck with no one to help. Both BMW shops near by are overbooked today and can't see me till Tuesday.
Any parts that I could try swapping out?
Any advice is much appreciated!
