For episode 2, We will conduct a compression test to get an idea of the state of the internals of the engine and to decide whether this particular brick is worth a full rebuild, a half rebuild, or just replacement. Then we will separate the frame from the running gear.

Dude, please put these into a playlist, I'm rebuilding a K75, and your videos are ESSENTIAL! You're the MVP.
Maybe im to late for it, but the fuse list translates to:
(in appearing order)
-Instument/Break/Back light
-stand/idle light
-Blinker / Clock
-Outlet (Im guessing ist for the outlets you mentioned ealier in the Batterie Part)
-Optional Equipment
-Fuel
-Dubble Horn / Fan
Awesome video series Man! Keep it going, you rock that editing!
Greetings from Germany.
I love it. Definitely excited for episode 3
This is so inspirational, my dude
translation for the fuse box:
7,5A lights for instrument cluster, brake and tail light
7,5A running lights
15A turn signals and clock
15A electric socket
15A special accessories
7,5A fuel pump
15A horn and cooling fan
I watch a lot of builds and your running commentary is by far the best.
Usually don’t like build videos because of the amount of boring that most TH-cam folks have. But your content is just the best! I really look forward to this series man
That's good to know, because I 100% know how boring build series can be so Im spicing it up here
Rewatching this now, as I am just starting on finally building out my K1100. Your videos are what originally inspired me!
Good start, props for checking compression 1st. Never ceases to amaze me how many people skip that, then wonder why the engine blew 6 months later.
😂😂
Thanks for making the series, great to see full break down of the sorts of problems and trials that come up with this sort of project.
I'll be looking to probably get a K100rs myself in a year or so, and doing my own project. So learning as much as possible is always welcome.
One of my favorite series at the moment
New bike name: Filth.
Edit: I have changed my mind. The bike will henceforth be named *Lubey Boye* in my own head. Thank you.
Love the video. Thank you so much! I may be 21 but I do have the attention span to finish the entire video!
I've been contemplating selling my 85 k100 but this series is motivating me to build mine again
Dude I came across your video and I honest have to say. Your most entertaining person. It nice see someone who down to earth and laugh about life. Keep doing your thing and now you’ve earned a new subscribers. Best of luck my guy.
Man you paint the most honest picture of what we all go through. Can’t wait for the next vid on this build!
Looking good. Makes me want to get on of these bikes and turn it into a go kart. If you’re ever working on exhaust studs again you may want to pick up a propane plumbing torch. A little heat and a gentle tap with a hammer usually frees up stubborn fasteners. Or if your not a fan of the fire approach look into getting kroil penetrating oil, or you could mix your own up using automatic transmission oil and acetone in a 50-50 mix in a spray bottle. Either way good luck with the project.
I just discovered your channel a couple days ago. I'm enjoying the Brick Build and I was thrilled to find the second episode in my feed today. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for sticking around!
Inspiring asf ... Proves all u need is some tools, patience, a manual and you can wrench almost anything you put ur time into. Right on bro, order some stickers to support the build and channel. Keep crushing it⚙️
Thanks man
I have a 88 Flying Brick and this vid is brilliant. Thanks for posting it. Im looking forward to watching episode 3
Stumbled across your channel as a mate is doing something similar with a BMW K1100, although not on TH-cam. You create extremely professional videos, very impressive, and I'm looking forward to the build.
Man I am glad to have found this channel
Finally entertainment has arrived
I just about died laughing from the "ok, now we can get the frame off..NOPE!" All because I have been there MANY times! Thank you for sharing the real world on youtube and not some doctored up nonsense.
😂 gotta salvage some enjoyment out of the painful moments
Glad to see I'm not the only one who couldn't figure out how to get the damn seat up! Such weird bikes
Another good show. Probably the only motovlogger I’d ride with.
Not bad man, very good video. Also I'd recommend getting a 10x10 pop-up tent from harbor freight just to protect yourself from the sun on hot days.
I welcome the day that I need to buy one of those or some other sun protection because I want the sun back!
Didn't even expect the video coming so soon. A surprise, but a welcome one
These first few episodes are all teardown... They can come out relatively quick. Once we start building it up it'll definitely slow down.
Just found your video series on the brick find it funny and you're Style of humor is pretty darn good makes me laugh once in awhile glad to see you're restoring this classic motorcycle looks like you're doing a fantastic job.
What a great series to follow man. I'd love to support the build by the way!
Thank you!
Thanks for taking us along ;)
The videos just keep getting better. Well done, sir
Can’t tell you how excited I got when I realized this was your video! Clicked on before realizing it was going to be illest!
Dude the K100 bikes are soooo nice. I double dog dare you to turbo it
Lmao, if I had an infinite budget I probably would take that dare
@@Theillestrator1050 go to a junkyard homie, you can always find something in a junkyard. I found a 2JZ in mint condition for 400 bucks. Turbos are here and there in junkyards. Find one that is serviceable and refirbish it and slap that sucker one
Glad I happened across this channel. This tear down has been so entertaining and informative! Great job!
Thank you. Keep it up, one little project at a time. I know it's easy to think there is too much, or I don't know how to do it all. One little thing at a time learning as you go. Nice work.
Its A good thing that I have experience wrenching and all the tools I have access to. The manual gives me bike specific knowledge so while its time consuming its very doable
This is amazing. Loving this series so far started with the history video that was fire.
Pretty cool to see the frame come off the block. A hell of a lot easier than trying to wrestle the engine out.
Its so satisfying how they designed it
damn youtube notifications work !
This is great! the fails and frustration makes it more grounded and real, I have been like that many a time on a build but you always go back for more, cant wait for the next episode.
Timely find. I'm about to begin my own K100 project.
Just found your channel a few days ago, but already at the top of my favs list. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for new releases!
Thanks for subscribing!
So when it comes to being on a budget roll by Harbor Freight Tools. Every shade tree mechanic will tell you most of the time it’s enough to cut the mustard without breaking a bank. Loving watching this:)
Entertaining as always
Positive vibes your way bro!
I looked into buying one of their full size lifts and also their work bench.... turns out even harbor freight is out of my budget 😂
i rode over to Daytona Bike Week yesterday and I'll be damned if I didn't see a K100 exactly like yours. In about the same shape as well. Good luck on your build. I can't wait to see the finished product.
That frame struggle is so relatable.
I was fitting a board to an accent wall and had to sand and cut the bitch like 7 times to get it to fit correctly.
Good thing is only I can see the imperfections.
Keep it coming!
I got a brick at the end of last year and am now just starting to work on it. It's a competition now
You’ve got some serious mechanical skill
Loving this - was hoping this was all released already, but I'll just wait patiently
We're just getting started 😁
Love your work, cant wait to make my way through the k100 build vids
Watched all these vids... and I feel like I can do anything now! Maybe a bit overconfident but now it’s time to shop for my k100
Never mind your german engineering education.......you're a good film maker. Good entertainment.
Just stumbled across your channel man. Looks like an awesome build coming up!
GREAT content as usual! keep doing what you are doing. You have a talent. It is awesome how you can get mechanical/technical without losing the attention of those less ...mechanically/technically inclined
This is going to be a very interesting series to watch, me thinks. Can't wait for the next!
Stay motivated, my friend! We're all waiting to see progress.
Awesome story telling! I plan to be working on a bike later this year 🙏🏽 but I’m gonna learn from your mistakes 😄
You're gonna be building a K bike?
Reminded me of the first few times I wrenched on my bike, badass series man
Dude, your content is legit. I'm subbing and telling my bros about your channel.
Mad stacks dude. Look forwards to seeing this all pan out from Australia. I work on my bike and end up loosing 10kg in sweat from the heat.
Lmao, we need you guys over there to send some of that heat our way
I have been putting this bike off for a while. But watching this video has inspired me to put it off a little longer. Ha
This is perfect man keep up the great work. Total inspiration for my brick 🤙🤙🤙 well back to the series 🤘
You Rock...this series is educational and frikking hilarious !
That’s an interesting choice for a cafe racer. Can’t wait to see it done.
8th Feb 2020 got as far a Episode 2 and taking time out to find a K back soon THANKS
Fuses on the fuseblock:
7,5A Instruments/Brake and Taillight
7,5A parking lights
15A Indicators/Clock
15A socket
15A Optional Equipment
7,5A Fuelpump
15A double horn/Radiator fan
If you have some more german questions, just ask i drive a 1983 K100RS in Germany (:
Glad to see you wrenching, man! That ride is going to be sick! Love hurts.
Badass. I know you're outside and you can't leave it but I like to lay a moving blanket down like a place mat, keeping everything off the ground and it makes clean up easier. That and a dropped screw or socket doesn't bounce and roll away as easy.
I could do that, my logic against laying down anything that isn't disposable like cardboard is that it'll get gross and mildew pretty quick cause the ground is wet
Awesome video. Can't wait to see #3 this bike is in quite a rough shape......holy shit. It must have spend a fair amount of time outside in all weather conditions. There are not that many miles on her. My 94 R1100RS has about 50k miles on her and I thought she was rough but seriously thinking about making a Cafe racer out of her. You are an inspiration buddy. Good job!!!
Awesome video. Funny, entertaining, and I'm super stoked to see the results.
This is gonna be a great bike! I'm already looking forward to the next video! Great content man, narration skills: 10/10.
Good quality videos and the fact that you are actually funny makes it even better! Hopefully going to start my second bike build this spring! Greetings from Sweden..
This video was Inspiring brother, Love your work I build Cafe Racers so it's always nice to see a fellow youtuber doing the same :) thank you for sharing this
These older German bikes are so cool. Great vid bro.
🔥🔥🔥 damn son, getting right down to business! This grimy thing has the makings of a lot of fun & satisfaction. I'll hafta look at these stickers...definitely willing to pitch in for the project!
Thanks bro
I love this, the bike and the editing.
Thank you, I will follow this project.
You're a fkkn rockstar! your so in-depth details make me regret getting a k100 for scrambler project lol. but for reals good video my guy! You keep the humor and knowledge on top. cheers to your channels success
Excited for you. Looking forward to the next installment.
Back with an another banger
You are a genius editor! I enjoy Every second! I have the same bike transformed into brat style! Nice bike!
Great Video! You deserve every Sub you have and even more. Your videos are always so much fun to watch and educational. It's always great to laugh while learning. Keep the videos coming! Ride Safe! 100 thumbs up for this one!
😃
You should make movies. That is absolutely entertaining... off to the next episode for me.
Cool videos, and nice editing!
On most vehicles the oil light is an oil pressure indicator not an oil level indicator.
Bro, you def got more than 40,000 subs on the low. The quality u put into the video tells me you should be sitting at at least 90k :)
Great...now I want to make bike like you have too....
Love your style of videos and the editing quality is 10/10
That is 100% me when you were trying to take the frame off. haha
Just ordered a sticker! Please keep the the videos coming and don't let the build stagnate like some of these dudes do
Looking good man, looking forward to the rest of this series
really like your videos dude! happy I found your channel
Your videos are really getting better !! I can't wait to see the next episode :)
This is awesome, reminds me of building my first bike
Great series so far. Looking to buy a k series asap!
Great video 👍
Very interesting having the engine, driveshaft, rear hub all attached almost like a big scooter motor. Hell it looks almost like an outboard motor. Hmmm interesting....
Yeah, when I finally finished it, it looked even cooler in person than in pictures I seen
- The illestrator - it would be amazing all polished up with minimal accessories/body work. Like the metal skeleton in the terminator movies. Good luck 👍
You got style bro! Excited af for this series!!
Great videos I just got on 88 k100 myself so I'll be looking for more videos 👍
The flying brick is an amazing motor
Have a mint 94 K75S in Paris Dakar yellow.
Had to subscribe I cannot wait to see this bike when your through
Bro ya content is on point, my brother and I fux wit ya sh!t! keep it going weekly !
awesome! cant wait to see what your new exhaust is going to be and how your going to mod the frame.
The whole cleaning up thing can be a right old slog, but the end result is pretty satisfying.
