BMW K-Series description

Runs and looks great. Very rare, all original bike…very collectable. First year in the US…it has the sought after FYK high-power engine with "hotter" European cams (March 1984). The appearance is really stunning. Has the natural color motor and drive train that really shows off the beauty of the design. These bikes are quickly climbing in value. Wish I could keep it, however, we're moving.

This original bike is a one owner. I bought the bike from the original owner's grandson. He never got it running. It appears the original owner disabled the bike at some point by removing some fuses and switching the spark plug wires. The title is still in the original owner's name. I have all the original equipment and accessories plus a great BMW tank bag with extension and rain cover. It was last on the road in 1989! After I got it, the following was done…

•  New Bosch fuel pump and filters kit (see pic)

•  New fuel lines

•  New pressure regulator

•  Fuel injectors ultrasonically cleaned and tested by Mr. Injector

•  Gas tank cleaned

•  New Spark plugs

•  New front and rear tires: Continental

•   All drive shaft splines greased

•  New battery: Odyssey

•  Engine oil and filter change

•  Transmission oil changes

•  Rear drive oil changes

•  Flushed brake fluids

•  New front and rear brake pads

•  New rear brake master cylinder

This K100RS now runs great! Starts right up, idles smooth and runs very strong. I put over 330 miles on it. It's a fast bike! Brakes are firm and strong. Shifts easy and smooth. All electrical parts are working.

See it run, go to YouTube and search for: yX_WBpu2Zcc

Cosmetics are very good. The tank is perfect. Fairing has a few nicks here and there. There is a raspberry on the right side engine cover. The bike currently shows 16,200 miles. However, the dealer documentation show the odometer was replaced at 8,181 miles. Therefore, the bike has 24,381 actual miles. Almost all early K bikes had odometers failures.

Included in this Auction…

•  Original title with open signature

•  Original tool kit

•  Original tire repair kit (never used)

•  Original Owner's manual and documents

•  Service manual

•  Original folding key plus a spare plus saddle bag keys

•  Original saddlebags

•  BMW Tank Bag with all accessories…beautiful bag!!

•  Optional BMW tail rack (not installed)

•  Muffler cover (not installed)

•  Some spare parts shown in the picture

 

There is a leaky right fork leg that I never attempted to fix it. There is a crack in the lower portion of the radiator cover. Also, a very small oil leak at the oil filter…I was planning on a second oil change so I didn't replace the oil filter o-ring. I had hoped to do the second oil change by now, but that didn't happen.    

I have a clean title and it is ready to go! This is a no reserve auction, so high bidder takes it. Check my approval rating, I’m a legitimate seller! If you have no rating, contact me first. No fooling around. I will need $200 down payment within 48 hours. No ending the action early. Shipping is up to you, but you can contact me if you need help. Bike is in Union, KY just south of Cincinnati, OH. Contact me with questions.

Good Luck
