Hi to all I just purchased a 85 K100RS for my first non-Japanese bike to
rebuild. The previous owner had noise at low rpm's and decided to tear
the bike down to replace the output shaft. He found out it was a
bigger job than he though and lost interest in the project. So now I am
the next in line and I am kinda at a loss where to begin. The engine
has 144000 miles on it and I have been thinking I might re-ring it and
bore it out a little or at least hone the cylinders. I have been
looking on this site but I am having a hard time finding a "here's what
you need to replace thread" so if anyone can direct me to that I would
greatly appreciate the help. Here are some pictures of what I am
starting with. Looking forward to the build.
So this is whats been done so far. Now to make a list (with the help of the forum) get the parts ordered and start my winter project.
