well i sold my '83 R100RT so the center stand issue is on to the next owner - my new to me 1995 R100RT center stand works so easily - pressure from your foot and a simple slight lift gets it on the center stand with ease. improvements to the final 1995 model year make cruising a pleasure - hardly an...

Just got my new to me 1995 R100RT delivered from California. Center stand operation is really easy.

again, thx for all the input - have a BMW mechanic coming to my house to go thru the carbs. he also mentioned that he has changed out the jets in the later models and removed the emissions stuff on these later bikes.

really appreciate everyone's input! so heres the latest: i finally got time to take the bike out for a drive today (i turned idle adjustment screws up yesterday so the bike is idling at 1100rpms) and here is the procedure i used - 65 degrees today and sunny: to start: cranks right over with full cho...

all, thought some of you could chime in and share your thoughts. i've owned several airheads and just sold my 1983 R100RT after purchasing my new to me 1995 R100RT w/19K miles - just fully serviced at dealer in california where i purchased it. the bike arrived to my home in seattle today and was unl...

M...

All,

It takes a lot of effort getting my 83 R100RT up on it's center stand. All of my strength to get it to raise up to the point it sits back on the center stand.

Anyone else have this issue? Assume it has something to do with mechanism being worn? Any pointers to remedy??

Thx in advance!

I went on Ebay and found the same(as Hucky) Neiman better quality folding key for $18 + $2 shipping - They have a few more if anyone is interested:
