Hello all,
I have an '82 R100RT on the lift. It's likely to stay there for a period longer than I prefer. The time to spend getting it running and rebuilt is always longer than one anticipates as we all know! I give myself a conservative 6-12months.
Is there anything that one might do in order to keep the the pistons comfortable in the cylinders? With other bikes in my past, the pistons were oriented vertically. Thus a tiny amount of oil into the cylinder from the plug opening was logical. With the boxer orientation, I was wondering of the same held true??
Thanks in advance all!
