BMW R100 Rebuild: 250 Mile Break-In Update
Following the engine rebuild on my 1981 BMW R100CS, I've now completed the first tune-up service at 250 miles. The bike started running pretty badly after around 200 miles, but we're back on track after a few adjustments.

    You know what happened with my 2022 Interceptor is that once I installed the USB setup and would push any of the 2 brakes the USB eould instantly shut off. When I would let go or stop using the brakes the USB would turn on again. I emailed Hitchcock and they said they never heard of that. I ended3uo wiring it into my headlight and I have been just fine. I have a new LED headlight so Im good. Just thought 🤔 I'd let you know. Jeff - Sunny Central Florida ☀️

      It works really well as a two up tourer for us. The Scout has quite a small tank so you’ll be stopping for fuel before you get the chance to get too uncomfortable. Having said that, taller passengers might struggle a bit. Hope your trip goes well.

    Like the look of these, but was quite surprised to see the angle is locked in. I thought the clamp would be a friction fit type of thing allowing the end use to tweak the angle to their liking.

      @@RobertSmith-ug4it If the reeds are the wrong way around, wouldn’t your “On” position become your reserve? If you have a fuel line cross over, you can have a make shift “reserve” by running one fuel tap on and the other off. When the open side of the tank runs dry you’ll still have a bit of fuel in the lobe on the closed side. Just turn on the opposite tap and get to a petrol station ASAP.

      Yes, the previous owner had it sprayed in homage to the R90s. The R90s, in black and silver, was called the TT and it does look fantastic (on an actual R90S). However, the spray job on my bike was not original / factory paint and not correct for the R100CS. I decided to put it back in black paint (as per its original documentation) and the wheels are just my personal preference.
