REPLACEMENT KIT R100 FROM 09/1980
Siebenrock R100 REPLACEMENT KIT:
The Replacement Kit from Siebenrock provides everything that the enthusiast for classical BMW models appreciates for fitting out the R100 models (GS, R, RS, RT,
CS) from Septembre 1980 onwards with high quality components.
In addition to two nicasil-coated cylinders, the kit includes forged pistons that are 110 gram lighter than the originals as well as high-quality piston ring sets and piston pins with all associated retaining rings. A comprehensive installation guide and a TÜV approval round off the set. As with its small sister, the 1000 cc gets a real increase in power and torque over the entire power spectrum after the
Replacement Kit has been fitted. A good 67 hp is available after the modification. Once in use, the kit shows an improvement in quiet-running and - because of the lighter pistons - a not to be despised measure of spontaneity. Gaskets are not included please order at the same time a gasket set Art. No. 60190100 to complete the fitting of the Replacement Kit
TIP:
- to provide the engine oil with the appropriate cooling, we also recommend the fitting of an additional oil sump spacer ring or an oil cooler kit (see "Compatible products").
- fast-revving, a lively response and, last but not least, a really powerful standing-start torque can be achieved in these motorcycles by the use of a Siebenrock asymmetric camshaft (see "Compatible products").
Products for your BMW
Classic bikes from BMW hold a fascination that few other brands can match. Jochen Siebenrock also fell under the BMW spell. Ever since he established his firm, he has specialised in preserving the classic forms of the past while bringing them right up-to-date through innovative engineering. The development of technically enhanced remakes of sought-after accessories focuses on eliminating known weak points from the start. Thus Siebenrock components mean more performance, more sound and, most important of all, more riding enjoyment with classic bikes. All Siebenrock products are manufactured in the European Union, and more than 80 percent are even "Made in Germany".
Technical accessories whose operational safety depends not only on their own strength and function, but also on proper installation on the vehicle, are often supplied with a TÜV (German Technical Inspection Association) certificate. The user is obliged to have such accessories immediately registered in the vehicle papers by a TÜV test centre. This also involves the TÜV inspector checking the vehicle's operational safety. A charge is made for such registration.
Today, TÜV reports are increasingly issued for specific types of vehicle. However, no manufacturer is able (e.g. for cost reasons) to have their products tested on all vehicles which might use them. If a vehicle model is not listed, it is the inspector who has to decide about registration on the basis of his technical expertise; the strength of the product and its roadworthiness are confirmed by the existing TÜV report.
Since 2002, TÜV only accepts component certificates which include verification of the manufacturer's quality management system according to the requirements of §19 Appendix XIX of the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) in the form of a valid certification document. Older reports can now only be used in exceptional circumstances in the course of a full technical inspection (Bauratabnahme), but the inspector is by no means obliged to make the entry in the papers.
Professional technical expertise is essential to fit this article. We therefore urge you to have it installed by a motorcycle workshop!
