Clymer manual ordered !
« on: October 02, 2016, 02:47:16 AM »
 Hello all , I'm Jez and have never ridden a  :bmwsmile but for some reason  have become very excited about doing a brick cafe racer. Have found a low milage (23000) 89-90 rs 16v for the right money and picking it up next week. Its been stood for the last couple of years from what I can gather with occasional use in the previous 2 plus decades. Not heard it running , owner appeared very genuine to me so not overly concerned and will be very careful about first start, change all fluids oils etc. fuel tank looked clean, no debris floating around.This lightly corroded, dusty green rs will be a long term project as I have a bit going on, long periods of boredom with spurts of adrenaline so if I do a blog please be patient. Looking forward to meeting you guys and thanks in advance for advise I will no doubt need. Will post pictures when I can. From sunny :blackcloud: Worcestershire UK. Jez

Have fun, but if it hasn't been on the road for a while you might want to check and replace all fluids and filters. Check the fuel pump damper replace the tank hoses SAE 30 R10 and filter. Replace external fuel hoses rated for injection. Check valve clearances. Lots of info on this site.
Regards Martin.
