Hello all, I just bought a 1984 K100, 32,000 original km's. I took it out for a ride and noticed a few drops of oil from the rear weep hole, the next ride there was a small puddle of fresh engine oil under the center stand. Looks like a rear main seal or clutch o-ring problem.
I Ordered all of the necessary parts and will be replacing the rear main seal in the next few days. I am not that unhappy, I look at this as an opportunity to get to know the bike and will fix any other issues as I work my way to the seal. The bike sat unused for 2 years and that is probably why the seal failed. It came with a full service record all done by BMW mechanics. I added up the service biils and it came to over $6,000 Canadian for the first 32,000 km!
I have been riding bikes for 37 years now and have always done my own maintenance, (BMW mechanics will not be pleased). I intend to convert it to a scrambler style bike. I really like the stripped down rugged look.
I am happy to join this forum and look forward to any help any of you can give me. I have already done a lot of searching and have found some excellent advice on how to fix the oil leak.
Cheers from Canada eh!
