@@CarsandCameras agreed and I am glad y'all decided not to disassemble a bike thats runs and drives after sitting for nearly a decade..i used to own one and it was one of the most reliable bikes i ever had good low end torque and plenty of cruising power
The reason it smokes like this is, when it stands on the sidestand a long time oil runs into the lower side of the engine and gets burnt when starting it the first time. BMW later fixed this
Owned a k100RS for 18 rode to Yellowstone, Arches national park, Bryce, Zion in the late 80’s. Smooth and reliable but periodic maintenance was a little speedy. Great bike though.
When I was courier in London in the 80's I had one of those and I had a car mobile phone fitted to it! I covered 160,000 miles on it in 3 yrs then sold it, never leave it on side stand as the oil runs into the head......I'm still running a K1200lt today and that's way heavier than the old K100RT. Enjoy it !
DakGuy05 it does matter o me though it may not you because you like to tear them up but personally I own 2 of my own and it’s always nice to see them in other videos
I love the old Honda scramblers! I used to have a 1969 CL125 that was my get around bike til I turned 11 and got my first CL350. I had almost a dozen CL350s and a couple CB350s all bought at auction and unstarted for years. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
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
I had this exact bike until 2 years ago. Dolomite Grey. It still ran fine and had 135k on that motor. Still running for new owner. Old K bike trick to keep from smoking was to lean it to right before to left and on kick stand. I always used the center stand as the heavy bike liked to sink the side kickstand into the turf or asphalt. Classic!
I hired my daughter to drive me from Shreveport to San Diego some years ago to buy a yellow K75RT from a policeman. Great bike. It only had 20K on it. When I got home I found the local dealer didn’t want to work on it. I’m the farthest thing you’ll find from handy so I didn’t know how to keep it up. It ran fine for more than 50k before the splines gave up. I gave it to one of the guys in the local BMW riders. Lovely touring ride. Very uncomplicated for a touring mount.
David Donaghy , yes. Had a 89 red K75s , fantastic bike. Coast to coast 4 times, should never have sold it. The triple is smoother than the 4 cylinder. R1200rt now but it’s ok.
John, your opener was 100% spot on. It's a pity Marty/Moog [ sitting side-by-side on a sofa and are NOT cohabiting ] and Hoonigan [ indoor RC drift hand controls and many people from disparate families in direct contact whilst in lockdown ] don't understand it like you. I guess it's because you actually have a degree level education and a mind, love you and Ike's bones :-D Peace and love Brother. [ will be be buying some merch because his lifestyle just got so much cheaper ]
Glad you decided to use the bike that was pulled apart for the motor. Hope you restore the complete bike, would be a great bike for long trips into the mountains or cross country.
I'm excited!!! Cool bike. If you had it a long time can't you prove purchase or sign a stat Dec & get a title? Be good to see both bikes complete & you guys ride to some events.
The side stand on these bikes is interconnected to the clutch cable. Pulling in the clutch requires you to take the bike off the side stand and the stand then is automatically retracted by the clutch cable. That may be why you believe the clutch was frozen initially. Likely you disconnected the cable connection to the side stand and the clutch then worked. These side stands were notorious for the bike falling over and it was considered a no-no to leave one of these run when on the side stand.
I had one in 1986 to replace an R100RT. It was a swoopy sports tourer of the day. And right, the Flying Brick. Great protection from the fairing but at 5’8” I was about 2” too tall for the screen. I recall taking a photo at 125 mph in a still bubble of air. Now that would get jail time. After the initial euphoria of a new bike wore off the seat was exposed for it’s shockingly low comfort level, this on a brand new tourer. One hour was almost the max time before pain forced a stop. I kept it for only a year after the various novelties wore off........
would have loved to see you pressure wash that bike. And once its tuned up and clean, youll find its one of the best touring bikes you have ever rode . Oh and dont feel bad.....my goldwing is 950 pounds empty !!!
when i let my harley sit up for a while, she was a bit ruff to run, but even with that old gas, she ran nice, had to drop some octane booster in it, and take it to the station and put power 90 in it. but smoothed out by second tank...old thing have to avoid that ethanol gas, eats up the gaskets in the fuel diaphragm.
Really nice Bike good thing you guys decided not to take the motor out. Cant Wait til you guys get the gasket kit in to see what you all have in store for the next build.
Dual DMW 1000cc engine offroad buggy!!! You could build it similar to Rather Be Welding's dual 212 engine buggy with full independent suspension! I can see it now😁
How about go cart tractor pulls? FR layout cart with some huge directional tires on the back and a weight rack up front? Of course then you gotta fabricobble some sort of sled, but if you built one, I bet people would build carts to use it. Hell could even turn into a big event series.
I own a bmw k75s... the clutch is not frozen. If the bike is on the kickstand, you can't pull the clutch unless you sit on the bike and lift it off the kickstand. Once lifted, pull the clutch and the kickstand will automatically retract
Please come to Oregon next time you guys can. I can’t wait to meet you. Scooter swap shop is putting together a nice run this year. Im running a 2020 Ruckus and a 1887 Honda elite for small engines
Those bikes actually have the kickstand connected to the clutch lever, if you want to pull the clutch in you must have the bike upright so the kickstand is free to move
Sometimes people think the clutch is frozen but you can't pull the clutch while the bike is on the side stand as they are connected with a cable...safety measure so you dont dride away with the sidestand down
BMW w/ shaft drive : good candidate for a homebuilt airplane. Prop can go right on the end of the driveshaft. Transmission functions as an rpm reducer.... maybe run it in 2nd gear....
Just so you know, I have k75, and its not frozen clutch, its connected with arm on witch it stands (sry for lack of english words), try clutch with arm up
I’ve got an unrelated challenge for you fellows. Been wanting to do this for a while but never figured out the best way. Do a belt-driven, 2 speed, manually shifted minibike. Kinda like the belt drive riding mowers. Might have to do a “clutch”pedal to disengage the belt, and two different size pulleys that can slide back and forth on a jackshaft or something. And a neutral position :-)
The clutch cable on these bikes is connected to the side stand so that as you pull the clutch in the side stand automatically goes up. So with the bike sitting on the side stand you can’t pull in the clutch and it will feel “frozen”
Im guessing it's gonna be a new amfibious go kart with this engine and the helicopter bed they got a while ago. I really hope I'm even kinda right cuz that would be amazing
This answers my question about the knock in the other video. I will be parting out a 1978 Honda GL1000 this summer, 4-cylinder boxer engine, transmission, drive shaft and final drive, let me know if interested in the power train.
Who's wishing that they would build an actual off road cross cart. A revamped cross cart would be awesome with the 1000 CC engine. That thing would rip. But Alas, dreams don't always come true.
I've always loved the shaft drive whirr. My dad used to have a Yamaha XJ900 and it's still the coolest sounding bike I've ever heard. Freakin' UFO man! Please try and keep the crazy transmission whine when you put it in a cart, if you can. :D
Little bit sad for the old BMW was a sweet ride back in the day and with some elbow grease would restore up nice and make a sweet cruiser again

That’s actually a nice bike and they really handled well because of the balance and the way the motor sits it’s nice.

That bike can be registered in Vermont or South Dakota without a title. Did my dirt bike in Vermont by mail without an issue. Took like 3 weeks

7 year old fuel and it starts and runs. Omg.
BMW bikes had a very decent quality back in the day
Gos to show how fuel quality has changed over the years now gas wont even last 6 months I'd say haveing the tank full would help a lot to tho
@@jackbeets3838 The Gas itself is not the problem. Its the ethanol. But that hasnt changed in the last 7 yrs...
Probably Regular Gasoline.
Must have been filled with SASOL petrol before being parked :)

I've had to finally stop riding because of my knees. I can't hold a bike up anymore.
I've still got a red K75S. One of the best bikes ever IMO.
Buy the K75S with the black mag's there much smoother and practically bulletproof I'll get 1 myself if there available

Glad you decided to use the bike that was pulled apart for the motor. Hope you restore the complete bike, would be a great bike for long trips into the mountains or cross country.
Even Has a tow bar. Noice any chance you could restore the bike? It would be a good toy hauler with the hitch
Omg 😱 that should put it in a BMW power wheels !!!
BOULDER 44 THATS A HELLA GOOD IDEA
My dad had one a few years back, got to ride it around myself and they are so comfortable!
At least change the oil and put new gas in haha lowkey triggers me
Pointless spending money on new oil if you haven't confirmed the motor is ok.

And a neutral position :-)
