Hello everyone, today i bought my very first BMW motorcycle. Its a 1992 K100RS. I've been researching bikes for about 3 months now with the aim of finding a great daily commuter for LA traffic. My ultimate plan is to convert this over to a cafe racer project as i really love the style and am a BMW enthusiast to the core so it will tick both boxes. 

My previous bikes were: Honda 2005 CBR600RR and a 2006 Yamaha R1.

The K100 joins my collection of BMW cars: 96 M3 Coupe, 98 M3 Sedan and a 2006 M5.

Here's the specs on my K100:
K100RS
87k miles
Year 1992
ABS
The fairings were already removed by the previous owner 

First up, ill be doing the basic maintenance stuff that comes to mind:
- oil change
- spark plug change 
- air filter change 
- oil the splines

welcome chris


better look up that spline lube you have planned ..oil is not the right thing ...something with a very high mollydisulphide content is more the go

look up starbrugs (sp?) or Honda molly  or even if you can find it now "bulldog molly" ...its supposed to be "the ducks guts " aussie expression for real good

enjoy the k
