R100 Years Produced - Flywheel Changes
I'm looking into an 1980 R100...with no suffix...just an R100. I believe they were made from 1980-1984. My question relates to the engine changes made in 1981.

Aftermarket Speedometer Conversion (1978 R100RS) - hints or advice for success?
Hi, longtime BMW owner (R1200C) but new to BMW MOA and the forums. Also a new owner of a '78 R100RS (though the fairings have been replaced to look like an 'S'). The speedo on it is busted.

'78 R100/7 -- idles great, coughing when warmed up; Mikuni VM32 carbs
So, I'm at a bit of a loss here. My '78 R100 has been gone through and gone over for the better part of this year. New wiring, Motogadget brain, new ignition coils, and (of course) new Mikuni VM32 carbs. It's a long story that's probably too sad for a forum like this :) Anyhow, I've had help...- YipcanjoDotCom

Transmission chattering in first gear 1991 R100 RT
Hey everyone, I am rebuilding a 1991 R100 RT transmission myself this winter and wanted to enlist the help of the form. With 89k miles it developed a skip in first gear. Within 200 miles from the first occurrence that skip deteriorated into the eventual loss of use of first gear entirely. When... -

Hello, I'm new here, this is my first post. :-) When I turn on the ignition, all the lights come up and the volt meter reads ~12V, transmission is in neutral, when I press the starter button: nothing happens, no clicking or anything. The only thing that happens is the brake failure light... -

Rear Main Oil Seal Removal ~
I believe that folks are making more of a job out of this than is necessary. I had planned to disassemble an engine for some parts and finally got a chance to photograph the technique. Here in photographs is how I remove a rear main oil seal from the engine case of, in this case, a 1978 R100/7...
