1985 K100 RT
This was a project i turned into a naked bike.
Anyway, i believed the bike to be in top shape after completion but after a 12 or 15 mile ride in 100 F temps, i think maybe not.
Its a simple symptom. Once the bike was up to temp the throttle would bog and nearly die. It would lurch and cough. Then after every episode I would stop, turn the bike off..wait 30 seconds or so, fire it up and it was good for another few miles then repeat the same procedure.
The mods to the intake and vacuum were small but may have my verdict in their simplicity.
I did an exposed MAF sensor with a filter as has been done. Additionally, I deleted the crankcase breather hose and replaced it with a filter and plugged the outlet on the plenum itself.
Other than all that the bike was mainly hacked up cosmetically with no other major mechanical changes.
I just think it is bizarre behavior for the problem to arise then once i stop the bike, shut it down and start again it is fine for a bit then starts again.
Thoughts? Concerns?

Check the return line from the FPR to the tank. make sure it is not kinking when you slide the tank back into position.
Regards Martin.
-
Will do a check when I get home and report back.
Thanks
-
Nope. not kinked or anything. I blew out and cleared the line. Nothing there either.
-
Check the fuel pressure and when was the fuel filter last changed?
Regards Martin.

Try this test. http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,3308.msg20124.html#msg20124 (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,3308.msg20124.html#msg20124)

Fuel pressure is within spec. As far as the fuel filter...who knows when it was changed. Is there an available aftermarket replacement or is it a dealer spec part only?

I will try this test after work today as well as change a fuel filter...since i have no idea when that was done.

You might want to clean and check the 4 pin connector to the fuel pump. A mates bike had similar symptoms.
Regards Martin.

I have photos but i keep getting errors that they wont attach??? Files too large? Suggestions?
It seemed to be a faulty fuel filter. It was installed incorrectly and was also clogged. Thanks previous owner!!
Anyway, it was raining yesterday in KC but today is sunny and warm. I will ride the piss out of it after work and see what happens with a fresh filter and clear FPR lines.
-
Still some aesthetic work. Some aluminum perforated panels for side covers and wheel upgrades.
Some mech work will include my new exhaust i am fabbing up, rearsets, and some other misc items.

I am still shocked at how damn cool the block on these things are. I always despised BMW design, mainly airheads because it was all i had ever really seen. I had always built choppers--American, Jap or British. Then last summer i was doing this XS650 bobber and this was just sitting at the shop for sale. Most of the fairings gone, half naked, not running and left for dead. Then i started looking into K bike mods and was so stoked on what I saw. SO i bought this thing 3 months ago, got it running, did my mods and here we are.
Definitely not finished with it but its my bike for the season while I start a new chop project.
Super fun bike and all I have invested is 800 bucks lol bike and everything.

Is that a Honda Super 90 in the background? I had my very first moto crash on a red one around 1966.
-
Yup! That is an S90. There are few of those floating around the shop. We have a trail 90 also...I just need to make it stop smoking like a two stroke :hehehe
