My apologies, but I've never had the slightest desire to ride or own a BM of any kind, but I'm about to buy an '81 R100RS for winter use. Anyone here have any knowledge of these bikes. It's in great condition, but can I expect it to give me any ' JIP ' (I can fix most anything, but I've heard weird stuff about BM's needing some silly minor jobs to be done by authorised *specialists* only ? :confused::).
 
I hear you bro',but it's not as a winter hack, It's a nice bike with a great fairing for winter use ! I don't do shitter's or hacks ! :thumb2

Make sure you use the correct grade of gearbox oil in the gearbox and final drive, and possibly shaft, if there's oil in that too, if you're doing your own servicing. GL5 or higher.

Worth getting a Haynes Manual for Airheads.
