Hi All K Bikers!!
Though I'm new to K100s, I've been riding since I could twist a throttle. I've owned a few four wheeled BMWs (currently an '88 super eta) and have always wanted to sport around on a beemer. So... I looked for a while and found a red beauty down in Portland and... bought it. Just got it up to Vashon Island this last week and started getting to know her. She is a red '91 K100RS 4 valve and had been sitting in a garage since 2005. Needless to say, she needs a little attention. And, this last weekend I started a "refresh".
This is what I did:
Flushed the gas and put in a new fuel filter. Drained the oil, replaced filter, and filled her up.
Bought a new battery, bled the brakes, rubbed it down with a rag, and... fired her up.
The Avatar is of my daughter and bike before our first real tour around the island. It was a real blast!!! The first tour of many!!
So... Happy to be a new member of the forum!!
Oh... yes, the fairing is from a K1100RS. Not to be confused.
Cheers!!
