Hello sKolars,
We have the old low mileage K100rs 1985. She runs great, mirror doesn't pop off at 110mph and bumps. Great starting, Acceleration, I just love the old girl. I have rebuilt the forks, rebuilt the oil/water pump (in two seals) which included a new impeller and shaft from dealer. Because of course my threaded shaft end snapped off. Two seals because I fouled the first one. But experience is bliss. She doesn't leak a drop. I used synthetic blend oil, 10-40 valvoline. Bla bla bla....
Oil light comes on after the engine heats up and in traffic if I run it with the choke half on it boosts the rpms to about 1100 an that takes care of it. So it is sensing low oil pressure. How can this be??? What did I booger up on my pump rebuild? Or might there be some other culprit? Hit me with your ideas please!
