Chapter 7 Frame and forks Engine protection bars 20 Some models are fitted as standard with engine protection bars Note that these cannot be fitted to machines with engine spoilers belly fairings and if they are to be fitted to K100 RS K100 RT or K100 LT models the fairing lower side panels must be provided with cutouts to permit the bars to be fitted Any authorised BMW dealer should be able to provide the templates required to position the holes accurately 21 Genuine BMW bars are rubber mounted to absorb shocks without passing them directly to the frame or to the engine castings this is preferable to the usual after market type which is bolted rigidly to the engine and frame and can cause severe damage to the crankcase lower section or sump castings in even the most minor incident 22 A large mounting plate is bolted to the normally blanked off mounting points on each side of the crankcase lower section or sump oil pan castings Bonded to or screwed into these plates are mounting points for the bar lower ends At the top the standard engine mounting bolts are replaced by extended sleeve bolts into which are screwed rubber mountings The outer end of each mounting is fitted into the bar upper end and secured by a nut a blanking plug is fitted over the nut for the sake of appearance 18 Mirrors removal and refitting 17 17a Be careful to disengage side panel front mountings as described 1 The mirrors fitted to standard models are mounted on stalks which are fastened to the handlebar lever assemblies by nuts and washers each nut being covered by a cap If damaged or faulty they must be renewed as complete assemblies 2 On K100RS K100RT and K100LT models the mirrors are attached to the fairing by mountings which are designed to break off on impact to minimise damage 3 To remove the mirrors hold each one firmly next to the fairing and strike sharply upwards with the palm of the other hand on the outside end of the fairing This requires a considerable amount of force so great care is required to ensure that no damage is done Once one mounting has released the mirror can be manoeuvred off the remaining two On K100 RS models disconnect the turn signal lamp wires and withdraw the unit 4 If they are cracked or damaged the glasses of these mirrors can be renewed individually Each is fixed by a ball and socket joint which is hinged to provide adjustment in the vertical and horizontal planes Insert a lever behind the glass pad the edge of the mirror with a cloth to protect its finish and lever the glass out of its socket Considerable force is again required quite enough to break the mirror glass so take great care not to damage the mirror housing Apply a suitable lubricant to aid refitting 17 17b then move panel forwards to disengage rear mounting 18 3a Removing mirrors K100 RS strike sharply upwards 18 3b to unclip mirror from mountings 179
