Three month re-cap

Well it has been three months since I bought and started working on my beemer. This recap will list of everything I bought and fixed, and what remains to be done to make my R100S road worthy for a trip outside my county.

June

• Purchase Bike June 27th, end of month, and it sat at a mechanics waiting for parts to finish off bill of sale
• Fixed Odometer gear slip problem

July

• Bike at mechanics
• Fixed Brake calipers, replaced brake fluid, bleed system
  
• Drained fork oil, replaced fork seals, replaced fork oil
• Installed front turn signals, replaced flasher relay (bad part)
• Fixed headlight short, replaced fuses
• Installed Bridgestone Spitfire S11, tubes, rimstrips, balanced
• Replaced valve cover gaskets, and put helicoils in for both cover threaded bolts
• Fixed high beam positive connection, rusty
• Fixed running light ground wire
  
• Replaced dry rotted timing inspection plug
• Replaced stripped bolts that hold front axle on

August

• Bike returned from mechanic
• Bike inspected, insured, and tagged for Texas
  

This is when problems started to occur

• Flushed tank

• Changed oil filter with new shim, o-ring, no paper gasket

September

Maintenance Items

• Installed new air filter
• Installed new fuel taps
• New OEM original rubber handlebar grips
• New National Cycle Deflector Screen DX

I can summarize the later half of month as the real troubleshooting

• Bike would stall and run real hard at speeds above 3000 RPMs, or after 10-20 mins, bike ended up dying by the side of the road
• Replaced points, damaged wire and bad points
• Adjusted valves
• Adjusted timing
• Adjusted points gap
• Adjusted throttle stop screws for idle
• Bike seems to be running ok, 5 min test ride
• October will be the month where I hopefully ride more, and see if the bike is any better
