BMW K100RS Brakes revisited - Front Master leaking!
After a couple of weeks since the rebuild, I've noticed a bit of a serious leak in the master cylinder area. I doubt this contributed to the brake lock up but it's definitely something that I need to get fixed. Unfortunately the spare I bought to replace mine was quite as described.

Mini Cooper R50 Subframe rust treatment
Переглядів 744 години тому
On my last MOT there was an advisory for rusted rear subframe, not yet structural. Rather than let this get any worse I took a day to treat the rust, repaint and add some wax oil.

I swapped the stock wheels on my BMW R1100R to GS spoked wheels!
Переглядів 27914 днів тому
This is the end to end of getting the spoked BMW R1100GS wheels fitted to my R1100R. It took some test fitting, a lot of cleaning, a few weeks on getting various parts from eBay and a hefty amount of elbow grease getting everything torqued to spec. I ended up getting very lucky and getting both complete wheels for £40 and they only needed some cleaning and new discs, bolts and tyres.
K100 Restoring the original brake line set up and all the front end wiring
Переглядів 6121 день тому
This week I've got the final components I need to get the original brake line routing installed and set up on the K100RS. I wrongly assumed this would be a relatively easy swap, however it didn't go that way. While I had the front fairings off I tackled getting all the wiring for the indicators, headlights and horn. The bike is now really coming together.

BMW R1100R handlebar conversion
Переглядів 507Місяць тому
I've bought some normal bars to replace the standard BMW handlebar set up. This is for a couple of reasons, one mine has some chunks ground out of them for some reason and two because I like the look of normal bars better. I got these bars off eBay from a German company as a kit specifically for the R1100R. It ended up costing about the same as a second hand set of GS top clamp and GS heated gr...

    My experience was the ground connection of the sender failed. This provides ground/negative to the fuel pump. Solution was cheap and reliable: I made a new ground connection attached to one of the plate four bolts to the main ground on chassis (very near). Add a faston male-female on the middle of the wire to easily detach the fuel tank from the bike.

    Nice effort! Correct me if I'm wrong, but the R1100R front wheel has floating brake discs, the GS wheels has fix discs, that makes your calipers incompatible with the new wheels. I hope you ride safe.

    That's a basic essential of this procedure, plus getting it up to temperature before doing the work he mentions taking it for a ride beforehand, but it needs to be emphasised that the engine must be warm. Then of course there's having it running too long on tickover. ,I'd also mention the goal is 1100 rpm idle speed.

    What would you do if the readings were out at 3,000 rpm where the idle fuel/air screws have no effect? The idle and 3k rpm are adjusted separately by different means. At 3,000 rpm you use the throttle body cable stops to synchronise the throttle bodies. The idle screws are set by turning them in to a stop, gently and then each out 1 1/2 turns. Idle balance and idle rpm is set by minor adjustments of same screws.

I bought my R53 last week for £2000. 3 owners, less than 80,000 miles, service history, 2 keys, owners pack etc. And, IMO, the best colour - Electric Blue with white roof 😎 I bought the Mini One last summer. It was my first car for 16 years, and only the 3rd car I’ve owned. I’ve always been into 2 wheels - Motorbikes and bicycles, but I loved the Mini so much I decided to upgrade to the S. They’re almost as much fun as a motorcycle! And after owning Ducatis for over 20 years, the potential cost of keeping an R53 on the road doesn’t really concern me either. I few years ago I paid £1800 for a full service on a 748R! No repairs, just a service. And I did some of it myself! To add to my pain, it got written off by a dozy driver less than 6 months later. I recently bought another one. They’re sought after now, and I could literally have bought 6 R53s for the price I paid for it and had change left over for a full service on the Mini! 😮
