Also, I know a lot of you have been doing a lot of prepping for Mini Mayhem this spring, so it makes postponing it even more of a bummer.

hi guys, i bought an 1985 K100RT new, dipped the tires in all the great lakes and both oceans, toured the national parks. took a riding class in Michigan, went over 130 mph.and learned to trust it drifting on the curves. I had ridden over 200 thousand miles before the riding class, I had no idea of the cycles ability. What a day! Between a BMW R 100 and the K 100 RT I rode them over 200 thousand miles and tent camped along the way. When my trips were near an end I always planed a 1000 mile nonstop ride home. I honored the recommended maintenance schedule, never had a breakdown and never left stranded. Wonderful life experience, very thankful.

Just stumbled on this video... It brought back huge memories!! I used to dispatch a K100rt round London many many years ago.. It was an ex police K 100 I loved it.. I loved how big it was, how stable it was, how it used to worried cars and taxis when i followed them. Until i was side swiped by a taxi that pulled out on me.. a Huge hole in t he sump and a puddle of oil. These engine go on for 100's of thousands of miles. I replaced BMW's chocolate output shaft in a shed, so well made.. I got another and recently sold it.. BTW the stripped out K looks like a unfaired version... you may want to sell the radiator shroud, they are like rocking horse poo, you will get your money back on that item alone. Most fully faired K100Rt and LT's get stripped back to the unfaired version as the fairing is expensive to replace. no one has the radiator shroud. Secondly if you are going to desecrate the engine and put it in a four wheeled vehicle (may god have mercy on your soul) Motorworks have a kit to convert it. It quite a popular engine to put into older Mini's www.motorworks.co.uk/vlive/Shop/Parts.php?T=5&NU=10&M=40&Ct=CA&SbCt=BA_10_40_CA_70

Five years later I towed it home, and it sat in the back yard for two more years. Last Fall I finally got around to working on it. Surprisingly it didn't take too much to get it running, but I can't say the same for getting it roadworthy. As of this week it is ready to roll once again. Even so, I would give my left nut for a $100 project BMW!

Don’t buy a Briggs... please. Pulled one off an old gokart we had and sat and worked with it for an hour. Unless it already runs, don’t work on one or buy one. I’d get a predator or tillotson.

I've brought one of these back from the dead before. One thing to remember is that when you unhook the battery and disconnect the CPU everything goes to zero. When you reconnect and start up, it takes a while for all of the sensors to negotiate best engine performance. Also, sometimes if they do not crank, put in gear and "bump" the transmission. Seals/gaskets on both sides of engine need to be sealed, as any loss of oil pressure will cause it to run bad. Pull the fuel filter from tank and check, replace if needed (any metallic fuel filter can work if it fits, no need for OEM part). The bikes need to be run every month or so. In the 1985 engine, there is a part in the drive train that can have loose rivets (I forget which part) which will rattle at certain RPMs. There was a replacement as it was a recall. Some guys just pulled the part and peened the rivets tight and put back in. Another recall/replacement was some sort of gortex/teflon breather in the instrument cluster. Once I had the thing back together it ran like a scalded ape. BUT, it was an RS, not an RT, so the riding position was very uncomfortable for long rides for an old guy. I had always worked on BMW airheads, so this electrical monstrosity was a new one for me.

I've been wanting to see you guys do a BMW boxer build for the longest time and when I saw the laid down inline 4 my dreams were dashed.

This channel is going to start growing soon! No more monotony of the same belts and predator engines in the same ol carts. And no more handouts from mommy and daddys house.
