Replacement Coil

While replacing the spark plug wires in my 89 R100RT, with only 38K miles, that I am taking out of storage after 3 years, I found the OEM "gray" coil to have major cracks along both sides of its body... Obviously, I don't want to rely on this OEM coil, so I am interested in finding a bette...

Re: Removing Spark Plug Wires

Geroge... Thanks for the recommendation but twisting the wires counterclockwise to unscrew and pulling outward, didn't work on this bike, so I removed the coil so I could take a look down into the spark plug wire holes to see if I could see what was the problem!

Removing Spark Plug Wires

I am replacing the OEM spark plug wires on my 89 R100RT. My experience with other vehicles has found that a firm pull on the wires would remove them from the coils (or distributor cap in older autos). I attempted to remove the old wires from the coil on my bike with a firm tug but found no success.....

Re: Sticking Brakes

Just saw the problem was a stuck caliper piston... so what I wrote below doesn't apply.... I used compressed air but wrapped the caliper well with a lot of rags to prevent the piston from flying across the room or damaging part of the caliper. I have a recommendation, if all else presented doesn't a...

Re: Transmission Bolt in a 1989 R100RT without Vent Hole

ME109...Thanks for the suggestion about the boot... I did check it and it is fine with no holes. In addition, the boot clamp was also snug. Also, once I removed the transmission, I found its front main seal had been leaking a bit as well... there was actually hardened gear lube paste (lube and clutc...

Transmission Bolt in a 1989 R100RT without Vent Hole

I started removing the transmission from my 1989 R100RT this evening. As is required, I removed the bolt that secures the speedometer cable into the transmission and also secures the battery's negative cable to ground, (the transmission). After removing and inspecting this bolt, I noticed that it is...
