Hello everyone,

Back in 1986 I really wanted a K100RS but could not afford it (ended up with an ex-HRC VF1000 but that is another story) and 26 years later I found one that was too good to refuse.

So, another couple of years on and I've taken the drop sheet off it and am about to get my 1984 K100RS with 72k on the clock back on the road.

The first step will be a spline lube and replacement of the rear diff oil seal and I'll go from there.

I am looking forward to "meeting" many of you on the way as I go.

Cheers,

Grant.

Welcome and hope to see you soon. Do let us know when you get this far...!!! In the meantime enjoy the chat, technical know how and tips.


There is a section on the home page on What to do if you have just got a K. Some good tips in it. If that K was standing make sure to put new tyres on, check the manufacture date codes on the sidewalls, if its over 3 years I would replace them. Ks are very very sensitive to old tyres.

Hi Grant welcome to the Knuthaus
That page that 92KK referred to is accessed through the portal page called "so you just bought a BMW" etc. It's chockers with good info.

Good lawrd, the invasion continues...

Welcome, Grant! Pictures, pictures...

Wot think of our MLB? 

I think one of the best things to come from Australia is Peter Temple, master of the crime fiction genre. Here's trailer from a TV movie made from his novel of the same name. Haven't seen the show but the book is superb.

Very Happy Hi Grant !
And yet another welcome to this great place; now from the Netherlands.
You did good on buying that RS, even better on joining this forum.
Have fun on both !!
