Engine wont start, but backfires.
Hey y'all, Ran into an engine issue with my 95' R100 RT. The engine won't start, and a couple of times I have tried and it backfired. Gas is good, terminals are clean and secure, choke and throttle work, and I have spark on both heads, but could probably stand getting new plugs. Any hunches before I...

Re: Max tire sizes for a R100RT?
Checking in to let everyone know that the 120/90-18 fit the front perfectly and a 130/90-18 fit the rear. I went with Shinko 804/805 Big Block tires. Still handles great, if you're not an aggressive rider.

Re: LED Conversion - Lights Stopped Working
Good call. I’m thinking about resistors also. Only problem is the common ground In the headlamp harness.

Max tire sizes for a R100RT?
Hello! Has anyone ever fit a 120/90-18 on the front of a R100RT (or similar model)? Trying to figure out what dual-sport tires will fit, and not having any luck finding stock sizes (front: 100/90-18) that match the rear tread pattern (rear: 120/19-18). In this blog, a person fit 120/90-18's to the f...
