My K100RS make some grinding noise when pulling off from stand still or when accelerating from lower speed. And it feels a lag of power delivery as well. But once go beyond 3000 rpm, this feeling goes away. Moreover, when in natural, if i turn the throttle fast, there is a rattling noise as well.
I guess the output shaft may be the problem, as i am going to change the clutch, I probably will change it as well.
My bike is K100RS, document says it was made in 1986 (the year when BMW replaced 6 rivet with 12). However after data checking with Motorworks, they say my bike was made in 1985 in the factory and thus should come with the 6 rivet output shaft.
As I am ordering parts, should I buy a original 6 rivet output shaft? Or should I upgrade to 12 rivet? What modification and extra parts will I need?
Thanks a lot!
