Here’s a walk around of an RS I’m picking up next week.
https://youtu.be/MvDxwLhgutY
I’d be the 9th owner, so am praying to the gods of clutch wear and transmission splines that she has plenty more life in those tolerances yet (the pdf I’ve seen on replacement is like 48hr open heart surgery, on Frankenstein).
Apparently it has a full and annual service history. From previous hard arsed experience on a K10 and two other 11 RS the bespoke seat helped seal the deal.
If all well then braided brake lines and new suspenders plus heated grips and fog lights would be on the list.
Gods be kind! |

Aside from that stupid sticker on the rear of the tank that looks like a really nice specimen.

Thanks FD, grateful for your thoughts.
One question I haven’t asked the seller yet (non biker) - what’s the small hole on the dash to the left of the ignition? Looks like an alarm light maybe.
Will keep posted on whether it rides as good as it looks. |

Welcome, ArbOl.
That does appear to be some sort of grommet or housing for an LED rigged up by a previous owner; it is not stock on the RS dash. _________________ Niemand

The sticker looks like a crown - for the family jewels, I guess... _________________ Jim
