Hello , new at this, have a 1980 r1oort and it's using oil. Was told that the piston rings are probably worn because of the Nikisil cylinders BMW used at that time.
Bike has around 90,000 miles on it.
Anyone have the same problem?
Thanks.
I seem to recall that re-boring the iron-lined 1000cc jugs is more problematic than with the smaller displacement engines. It could be time for a Siebenrock kit.
In regard to not having nikasil, cylinders, if it is me you are talking about, I am sorry, I DID have nikasil cylinders on my bike from the factory. They lasted 120K and then started piston slapping.
