I had a 93 R100GS/PD and I still kick myself for selling it. I did put over 80K miles total and did more than a few 1000+ mile days. It was a wonderful bike, old school, reliable and could be fixed with a screwdriver and a hammer and some baling wire. No fancy electronics, just simple controls. I did a trip from Mexico for over five hours at 100 mph. The bike loved it and it never ran better.
@@stefansgarage3014 - glad you have a new project! Is there a good source for buying parts online? I’m in California and so far it’s not been easy to find parts. Oh - the Wibers springs are great, but expensive!!
@@jimmelino3361 I didn’t need many parts and got them at my BMW dealership. Wunderlich has many aftermarket parts as well, should be available in the US as well.
@@stefansgarage3014 - awesome, thank you! Wunderlich USA has parts for the ‘92 GS. I went to the dealership yesterday - their parts department had very little access to ‘92 parts. My project bike needs a lot of work - 82k miles - thanks for the info - really appreciated!
I had one of these for 15 years when i was just 19 years old - now im 53 and bought it again - 5 weeks ago- well - best buy ever - its not just the simple good technik of it - even if some do not agree - but its beautiful the most beautiful bike ever - you can see with one eye what it can give to you - i dont care if the new ones are faster- have better brakes and elektric stuff you dont need. Petrol burning in this device ........best u can do - - - - ( b. t . w. suspension Is updated - this is a must have....)
September 2019, I bought a 1996 GS PD Classic now just coming up to 10,000 miles. Had 9 new BMW since 1994. This is the best. But maybe my last big bike as at 75, Not sure how long I will be able to move it about. Won't sell it th'o!!
IMHO one of the best things you could do. I bought my GS PD Classic in Summer of 2019 with 165000 km, did a carburettor rebuild, restored the main cable harness and exchanged the clutch parts. This summer now I was lucky to be able to ride to the North Cape during the 6 weeks of open Norwegian borders (from Germany). This was a dream I realized though I'm 61 now. Except for the need to disassemble and re-grease the steering head bearings up there in Norway (my own fault, should have taken more care for it before) there were no issues with the GS. It now has 178000 km on the odometer and still runs like a charm....
Thanks for the video,like you I always wanted an original GS in the 80's I've recently bought a 1990 GS 100 it also needs a bit of work and a lot of cleaning 👍
I can kick start mine sometimes, but I have to be up on the bike standing over it, left foot on the starter. Otherwise I can't get the right angle. If you are going through deep water, watch out for water entering the gearbox through the breather that is connected to the battery earth (where it connects to the frame). It's a bolt with a small hole. I think water can also enter through the speedo-gearbox connection. Always check the gearbox oil if you have been deeper than that level.
Sehr geil. Eine aus 8/1990 mit 30t km steht bei uns in der Garage. Die hat mein Vater damals neu gekauft. Ihm gehts aber wie den Vorbesitzern deiner Maschine. Seit Jahren keine Zeit/ oder ehr keine Motivation zum Fahren.
Unbedingt reaktivieren! Vielleicht nicht versenken... Die Vergaser sind relativ einfach zu reinigen, neues Öl und fertig. Da sie in der Garage steht, sollte Korrosion nicht das Thema sein. Viel Erfolg!
@@stefansgarage3014 Lustig, das du das sagst. Alle Öle, Filter und Zündkerzen sind schon beim lokalen Teileman unseres Vertrauens bestellt. Vergaser wollten wir eigentlich nicht anpacken, da sie vor zwei Jahren noch wunderbar lief und die Vergaser noch eingestellt und synchronisiert wurden.

@@stefansgarage3014 Die Reifen sind von vor zwei Jahren. Ist ja nicht so als würde die Maschine seit 20 Jahren nur stehen. Aber der Vergaser Reiniger ist prophylaktisch keine Dumme Idee!

Stefan's Garage Ich hab momentan eine R1250GS, R100R Mystik und eine R100GS. Die alte GS macht im Grunde am meisten Spaß. Hatte 1988 die erste GS schon. Wenn man sieht was man an Technik nicht vermisst wenn man mit der alten GS fährt.... nicht desto trotz. Die R1250GS ist schon ein Knaller.
@@wombel1980 Das glaube ich. Die alte Technik ist super, aber modern mit dem Komfort und der Sicherheit, möchte ich nicht missen. Allzeit gute Fahrt mit der "Boxertruppe"
Oh that's a tough one. The whole front wheel including the brake disk? Those parts are getting rare and expensive and shipping to overseas in COVID times as well is very expensive. Please contact me on instagram stefans_garage and provide me with more details (pictures of your GS, address, budget for the item)
@@feuerreiteroderso8655 doch, es gibt noch vieles neu, angeblich sind die Kunststoffteile (Kotflügel) langsam knapp, da ist aber noch genug auf eBay Kleinanzeigen
Excellent motorcycle !
I have the BMW R 100 GS - PD 1989...
Love it , who said Germans dont have a sense of humour ,great bike and a fantastic video
😂, thanks

Bend forward and I'll kick You too!!! ;-) Thanks for sharing, there are still some low mileage 2V GS out there to start new adventures...
Great Video! Just bought a ‘92 R100GS project bike and am going watch your videos with great enthusiasm!
Hi Jim, I have to disappoint you. I sold the GS some weeks ago, as I needed space for a new project. She has a good new home…

Congratulations! I just sold mine, don't have the time to ride it and the space to stow it properly. So there will be another happy owner...
Danke schon !......Greetings from Alberta, Canada.
Sehr gerne! I think you have lots of rivers over there in Canada...

Always safe rides!
I had one, too, in bumblebee black and yellow. One of the most comfortable and pleasant riding bikes I've ever owned.
😀
Great bike! That was also my dream bike. I'm looking for one in Europe to ride there and send it back to my home(Puerto Rico).
Sold this one last September 🥲, needed room for another Harley 🤩
Und ab jetzt übernehme ich das gute Bike 😊
Good story, nice bike
Thank you!
Mein Traum Bike seit Kindheit!! Mein Vater hat R 65 LS und R 100 RS...Ich vermisse beide! :) Tolles Bericht! Gruße aus Slowenien.
Ich hatte früher R65 (mit LS Verkleidung) und später K100RS-die Garage ist einfach zu klein...😉
Vielen Dank und alles Gute

Hi Robert, still working on the kickstart routine…
I checked all oil for water contamination, before returning home
Servus.... danke dafür!

I've been to the North Cape, and I have an '88 R100GS (Bumblebee) but I haven't been to the North Cape on the Bee. I have fantasized about it though.
I took the GS out for a 500K trip last saturday. It was fun but much more exhausting than on a modern bike-looks like we are getting older...
Mine still has the original lock in the frame tube also!
Just a nice little detail...👍🏻
I really adore this classic beauty especially in black. Bit too small for me i think? I'm 1m94cm.
maybe a Boss Hoss? Or the original Rally version of the G/S!
great film thank you ,so lucky to have such pretty feet 🤣
GS Kickstarten? Das Moped muss Bock dazu haben. ZZP, Ventilspiel, Kerzen, Kaltstartklappen, Synchronisation und Vergasereinstellungen müssen passen. Dann 2x Kicken...
Bei meiner R65 als 18-Jähriger war das ein Klacks, muss aber nicht am Motorrad liegen...
Stefan how many bikes do you own?
Luckily two, but there is a formula for the number of bike You should own...
(n+1), with n being the number of bikes, you presently own.
So sad that I can't buy my next one at Your dealership!
Loved that bike had to sell to buy new kitchen cabinets lol
So You remember her every day...! Be patient, those beauties last and someday maybe return.
@@stefansgarage3014 hopeful words bless you bro
@@mikewarner2285 I keep my fingers crossed, good luck!
Should've kept the bike, bought paper plates 😂. Keep looking it will show up if it's meant to be, good luck!
Wenn alle modernen Enduro nicht mehr Starten wird die R100GS immer noch laufen...
Genau! (solange die Kupplung nicht nass wird...)
Die Technik ist schon super simpel und robust!

Hey Stefan, ich fahre morgen los und besichtige eine Paris Dakar, kannst du mir sagen, wo du die Griffheizung gekauft hast?
Servus, viel Erfolg beim besichtigen. Den Einbausatz Griffheizung bekommst du noch ganz normal beim BMW Händler, Nummer hab ich leider nicht.
