Hi Everybody,

I'm Luca from Italy.
I've just bought an old K100RS and I'm doing all the maintenance needed; I've just subscribed in order to get some help (if needed) and to check other people's works and similar

Cheers

Welcome to the forums Biagio - almost everything you might need to know about these classic bikes can be found here somewhere. If not, all you need to do is ask for help

I didn't get this! WHat does it mean?

"Luka" is the name of a song that was sung by Suzanne Vega years ago. The lyrics go "my name is Luka, I live on the second floor..."

Welcome to the Forum Luca.

When RT mentions the "other nutters", he really thinks he is the only sane one!

Hello mate and welcome.
Suzanne Vega only did one decent song and that wasn't it.
\Trust me, I know about these things.
tic tic tic.

Hello Luca,

You must be younger than most of these "nutters" including me. That's why you don't know the old song.

Cheers.

Actually I'm 21 yo, so this bike is older than me.
Had first ride just now, not bad, very nice engine, really elastic and ready even at 1500rpm on 5th gear. But i have to work again on some problems (first: braking).

Ciao Biagio , Thats about all I can say in Italian even though my forefathers came to South Africa from Italy in 1903 and my surname is Cantamessa so all I can do is say welcome to the Forum in English ! You will get fantastic help from all the K owners.

Hi Biagio,

It's great to see someone from the younger generation appreciating the K, good for you!

Paul.

What year is your K100RS?

Welcome indeed Luca....

21???

I am now getting worried. My 24 year old son's licence became unrestricted in July. He has a 1988 Honda Bros 400, same age as himself. He tried a Fireblade some weeks ago before heading back to Budapest.

What happened afterwards now worries me.

He parked up the Bros for me to do a few jobs on it while he is away. Then he sat up on my K and said...."I could like this".!!!

Didnt trouble me until I saw your age Luca. Up to then he copied my brothers comments 'a pipe and slippers bike'.

My K100 is an '89 bike.

My license got unrestricted last year; I bought an Aprilia RS250 (what a beautiful bike.. amazing!) and then now this K100 in order to use it as everyday motorbike.
I can't understand why you're worried, it's a bike that is not so sporty, not like most recent bikes.

i don't think that he could "steal" your bike, I mean, if he will have the chance he will get a more recent bike; I choose the k100 for everyday journeys just because had a good price, was already subscribed to a national historical interest list (so less tax and insurance); If I could, i would have bought a K1300 or a Multistrada!!

"a pipe and slippers bike" is really a nice description! Ahahahah

From the USA-welcome Luca. I recommend reading old posts on topics. Use the search option. Also, Crazy Frogs electronic diagnostics is a good one to read and save. Great bike, great times, good luck. kfilipow

For all the younger generation (We are delighted seeing you joining our group of nutters).
here it is (By the way this is LUKA and not Luca):
