Hello K-100 riders and enthusiasts,

I'm the new owner of a 1990 BMW K100 rs 16v abs thats been left for dead( i figured it was a perfect project? Thats what i told the mistress atleast...) This is the first time ive added a second bike to my garage. Before this I would sell one before i bought a new one. So the K100 is a first for me, oh how sweet I think it will eventually be. My daily driver will continue to be a 1971 CB 750 flat tracker while I try my best at a restoration/back yard build of the K100. Ive checked online for which manual to get, Haynes or Clymer, and found that for some reason the 1990 rs 16v isn't included in some of the manuals that include most of the other K100's of that era. Any recommendations on manuals so I can become more acquainted with the guts of this treasure of a machine.

Looking forward to chatting with all the people out there that have caught the K100 bug like myself. I can't get over the rugged yet polished appeal this bike has with (and without) its fairings.

Cheers,
Cam

Welcome Cam16v, You'll get as much detail from people in here as the book will give you and when you ask a question to the forum you get an answer from more than one source, so you cant go wrong.

Welcome to the forum, Cam.  There are a few left coasters here (I'm on the Island) and plenty of answers to most questions.  Ask and ye shall receive.

Welcome to the forum, Cam.
That's a rarish K you have there. They were only produced for a short time before they became the K1100RS and are very similar.
So that's the manual that would be the closest.
BTW, when I say rare, don't mean valuable. Only to the saddos on this forum. Smile
Had a 1971 CB750 myself a long time ago. Was never the same after I tried a BMW.

Welcome Cam,
I'd try the clymer manual as its a bit more in-depth.
Cheers

Welcome Cam.  I have a 1992 sister ship to yours.  I believe that less than 2000 of this model were built, so that makes them pretty rare, especially compared to riceburners.  There are some really knowledgeable people here who can sort almost every problem.

For T3CHNO1D
The production month and year of your bike is listed as July 1984 and is a USA Model.
From this forum (I think an Australian or UK member) I was told to go to RealOEM.com and enter the last seven digits of the serial number to get the bike's origin.

Hi Cam ! Very Happy

Very welcome to the board !
Enjoy your bike, read a good manual before 'laying hand on it' and, maybe even more important: read all the good stuff provided over here...

Is there a pic of the bike already ? Posting would be most appreciated  cheers

Jos.
