Thanks Chris, for a great video. Its nice to see these older bikes repaired correctly by someone who takes pride in their work. Hope you find time to do some more..
Great series Chris, I revisited this after a year or two, still good to watch. Stop f ing moaning about the effort/cost added on to the job, you made $$$$ from this, rightfully so! Stay well. x
when you cut the end off of the by pass tube to remove the nut use a suitable size steel ball out of old ball bearing to blank off the hole [most bearing stores have them loose for a few cents] this is much better than welding the hole closed in the nut.
Yes, I'd have liked to have done a top-end rebuild on this bike but the costs were rapidly exceeding the value of the bike as it was. Once the customer gets some saddle time and decides if he likes / hates the bike we can move forward with additional work. Thank you very much for your comment, Chris
I bought one of those ('82R100T) cows in '91. Did the second top end overhaul last winter. @170K I wish you were there when I did the work... All of your information is spot on. But at 70k shouldn't you be looking at the valves seats on that bike? Great video thanks.
I didn't know anything about the 'R' engine because I have a 1989 K100RS-16v (this one I know perfectly, jejeje) and with all your educational videos, I'm learning a lot about this machines and I am perfecting my knowledge about the mine one. Thank you very much for sharing, you are doing a great job.
Chris would You tell me if the clearance of the swing arm is equal on the each side? what is the clearance in mm? This is a nightmare for me I couldn't find it, Thank You for Your efforts recording this video and many others!!!!
Thank you for taking the effort to make this video. Was thinking of getting an R65, but now I think I'll stick to my Bonneville . BMWs are too complicated.
Chris you are the master! I was really dreading doing a spline lube but knew it had to be done, your video gave me the confidence to do it. It’s now done and all thanks to you buddy!
You are very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Best wishes, Chris
