Bmw K1200RS Dakar
So the bikes now seriously reduced for anyone wanting a brilliant engined, all good going K1200RS that needs the clutch line air trap sorted.
Read below for details, Thanks
Lovely Dakar Yellow low mile K1200RS
Loads of bike for the money. €152 vrt.
This is the in-line 4 'Brick' engine. Often referred to as the 'Million mile engine'.
Pulls very smoothly and very powerful.
Fast bike, well kept.
Just a little too small for me but love the very odd ride on it, really makes you smile.
The tyres run ok, little squaring, and highly recommend new Bridgestone T33's if you're looking up for new ones.
All new fluids : Oil + Filter, New Transmission oil, Final Drive Oil [80W-90 both], Plus new crush washers. All good.
New clutch fluid ; Again : read below please.
New pads front + rear.
The bike had a new clutch slave cylinder replaced when I bought it; and air was still 'trapped' in the line.
I had the clutch MC kit from Motorworks installed and the clutch fluid reverse-changed but it didn't fix the air trap -
got the bike back from a more experienced mechanic and he adjusted the MC plunger and did a full-flush reverse fill and whatever other magic he managed and the clutch still isn't sorted.
A BMW specialist told me a clutch vent line replacement to one with a traditional bleed nipple could be the cure.
So the bikes now seriously reduced for anyone wanting a brilliant engined, all good going K1200RS that needs the clutch line air trap sorted.
These bikes are notorious for difficult clutch line air removal so I'm fed up with trying.
Comes with both OEM panniers, an OEM BMW rear soft bag [rare] and a colour-matching leather tank bag. N.I. reg.
A very very smart looking machine.
Dakar yellow paints good – and not just for a 30 year old machine, but there’s scrapes on the lower of the side fairings [on the chequer decals].
And a light scrape on the curve of the right fairing now.
Original toolkit. Good recent battery. All else works very well.
Pulls like a train.
Any questions fire ahead, Thanks.
