Hi
As many of us know smoe old K-engines have one common ailment - noisy work when they are cold.
I bought my brick in October 2009. She was little bit noisy when she isn't warmed up.
And the noise intensified lately so I decided to repair it.

I paste more photos and I describe the repair more detail ... soon

Sorry for the bad news, but this could be a very expensive repair.
But wait....
First, say a big "Thank You Bert"!
Now, check this. This part is very difficult to find, but this one is the cheapest that I ever seen.

Thanks Crazy Frog.
I am aware of the fact that normally it would cost a lot of money to change output shaft.
I bought 12 rivets version of output shaft from K1200. I hope that it will fit.

(12 rivets) output shaft
K1200 - 11211464947
K100 - 11211461499

In water pump I have an old type of rotator

1987 RS Engine small renovation Pump

BMW recommends replacing this when rebuilding any "old" style but servicable K bike pump.


Is it necessary?

The 'old' parts of the water pump will not retrofit to the 'new' type. Replace the mechanical seal kit and the impeller as a set.

Hope I can jump in on this thread. I've got my bike apart and I noticed that I have the old impeller. I know I have to replace the seals w a new impeller, can I reuse the nut or do I have to change it to use the bolt? If so, what else will I need to order. I'm looking at the Motobins site and they have the kit and impeller and would like to make just one order. Thanks to all for the input on this site, I would never have attempted taking this bike apart without knowing this invaluable resource was here.

I made special tool for embedding sealer:

1987 RS Engine small renovation Img0083n


1987 RS Engine small renovation Img0086ye

BMW has developed a new type of sealant, I hope that a more persistent.
It seems that these new sealers hurt less shafts, because they are delicate.

In the photo you can see the brown "abrasive wiper" this serves to remove major contaminants. Then I used sandpaper (400-600) dipped in oil. When I reached the clear matte metal the next step was polishing with paste. I used drill with felt tip...
Stainless steel polishes very nicely because it contains more than 13% chromium Smile

What great work you are doing, Lifegaurd. I hope my exhaust will shine like yours.
I also have a 1987 K100rs and I'm going to begin posting the whole experiance here for all of you see and comment on. I know there in much work to do but I think I've to the right place for this new project.
