Title: K75 "ST "by -mek-
Post by: -mek- on October 30, 2018, 06:53:47 AM: I got on September a 1992 K75 RT. A former Swedish police bike, so technically in good condition, but not a near to restoration. So a perfect project base.
https://youtu.be/gPQOwbZyi2s

As an inspiration I found a Street Tracker built by Foundry MC in Spain.
(https://static.wixstatic.com/media/eb9b66_8cefe12689204a84992b0ba81a71f2b8~mv2_d_1920_1280_s_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1032,h_688,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/eb9b66_8cefe12689204a84992b0ba81a71f2b8~mv2_d_1920_1280_s_2.jpg)

Time will tell how it goes. I've never built up a motorcycle, alltough having some technical experience long time ago...
As a practice I merged old Sauna owen and wheelbarrow to smoker.

I started my project by removing all the fairings. The previous owner had a quite comprehensive service of the bike, with receipts, but some jobs still waited finishing, so I started with service.

So far I've got the wheels to powder coating, should get these ready next week.

Last weekend I continued with steering head bearing, which was good. So just cleaning with kerosine and new CRC Super Longterm MoS2 Grease. I also drained the fork oil and flushed the forks with kerosene. Today I'll change the springs to Progressive suspension and fill it up with Motul 7,5 W fork oil.

My bike has black forks, engine and final drive, but I still have to repaint valve and camshaft covers, since the fairing seals have scraped the paint away a little bit.

I've allready got the most of the parts I need. The biggest question is the fuel tank colour. I like the paint scheme of the Foundry bike, but at the moment I think the tank of my bike will be Mystic red metallic, with Alpine white center (the blue part of Foundry bike) and black stripe between. The paint shop have time just after christmas, so I still have 2 moths for changing my mind...

I will not use any mini led blinkers, headlights or bar end mirrors, but try to imagine, how a Street Tracker would have been in 90'ies.

Post by: -mek- on November 02, 2018, 03:04:42 AM: Got Progressive Suspension springs installed. First I filled up with 420 ml Motul 7,5 W fork oil. Then adjustet the oil level to -160 mm (fork compressed, without springs), also removed about 10 ml oil. I think about 410 ml will give the -160 mm oil level, if you don't have a tool for measuring oil level. PS springs with the spacers that came with them, gave about 30 mm preload. Oil level and viscosity is easy to change later if I'm not happy, we'll see on May.

My RT had OEM heated grips, working. They were easy to uninstal since also the left heater element was glued to the sleeve which was then fastened by two M4 screws to handlebar. I started replacing the RT handlebar with LSL Flat Track handlebar, which I shortened to 800 mm. 10 mm hole on the middle, underside for heated grip wires and two 3,3 mm holes for fastening the left grip sleeve, then M4 threads. No problems.

The most work is grinding the rigth end to 22 mm. Almost all bars that are sold as 22 mm bars aren't realle 22 mm, but 7/8" which is 22,2 mm. So the throttle grip does not rotate free on that, but the bar end must be grinded to 22 mm. Lots of sweat with sandpaper... I also cover the end with thin layer of paynt for protecting against rust.

Title: Re: K75 Street Tracker by -mek-
Post by: -mek- on November 19, 2018, 01:35:35 AM: Most of the service, ignored by previous owners, is done. I'm afraid the splines have not been lubed for a long time. They were a bit worn, but hopefully will do still some years. I'm not gonna put so many km's for this bike. Two exhaust valves must be adjusted, but I'm still waiting for the ordered shims. I'll change the brake lines to Probrake Stahflex, but won't do it yet since the front line change requires cooler removal and I've still not got the Samco silicone hose kit yet.

When I get the wheels from powder coating, I'll build the front fender fastening. I also need the wheels for seeing how the bike stands with the new fork springs and Wilbers shock, if I have to adjust the front preload. Just then I'll be able to build the seat fastening to the right position and fit the Leo Vince GP-Style universal muffler to right position.

Be certain you don't put many kilometers on it. They aren't long for this world. When those tips in the photo break, you'll be stopped in your tracks. It won't take much to break them—drag racing with a restored Lada might do it, maybe even racing with an unrestored Lada. :giggles

Title: Re: K75 Street Tracker by -mek-
Post by: -mek- on November 26, 2018, 01:03:03 AM: Fortunately Ladas are nowadays quite rare also here in Finland, so I'm yet not very much worried about the drive shaft splines ;-D If they break, I'll try to get better from ebay.

Finishing the service. Two exhaust valves must be adjusted. Also got the brake lines changed to steel braided ones. The hose from front master cylinder to ABS is very tightly fitted under the frame, behind radiator. Removed the radiator first, but just when I got also the ECU loosened I got enough space for changing the hose.

That's probably because the Finns are less enamored of Soviet Communists than the residents of Vermont.

Post by: -mek- on November 27, 2018, 02:11:26 AM: During the centuries Finns have got 42 wars against Russia, and lost them all. Somehow we still have succeeded maintaining independence. In WWII only 3 capitals of European war parties were not occupied, London, Moscov and Helsinki.

Maybe it's these 42 wars that have rised the Finnish Sisu, guts. Or maybe the secret is Sisu pastils (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjuOsRHcHwQ).

My K will get only a few thousand km's per season, but I will do. I allready got a new, used drive shaft, with good splines. Also looking for final drive at ebay. Will get it when I'll find a one in good condition at the right price. Changing these is omly one hours job, so I allready put the old one on. Won't take the risk for changing just the drive shaft, since the bad final drive spline may harm the good drive shaft spline.

Post by: -mek- on January 07, 2019, 01:56:58 AM: I wasn't so happy with the U-shape tube seat mount that I got before christmas. In my mind the seat sat a bit too high from the frame and I found it difficult for fastening hinges and original seat lock. So I let the grinder and drill sing... after few hours I got another solution. It still requires some fine adjusting, but I think it fits better than U-mount.

Title: Re: K75 Street Tracker by -mek-
Post by: -mek- on April 08, 2019, 01:25:46 AM: I got the elecrics ready and tested everything that can be tested without starting the engine. Replacing the dashboard was easy with Marulabs BEP 3.0. I also succeded pushing the dash connector trough the frame. The ECU-box must be removed first and it was still very tight between steering lock and frame tubes.

Right side coolant hoses from Samco didn't fit. I got the wrong set of hoses, now waiting for replacement. I first tried to make side-/center stand bracket and use the original ruber pad, but didn't succeeded with the tight and close bends, so I made a new one. Maybe it needs some rubber on it also. Welding 1,5 mm stainless steel exhaust with an inverter and 2,0 mm rutile coated electrodes was surprisingly easy, even the result is not so pretty... just be carefull not to burn trough.

Gas tank and front fender are still at paintshop. :-(

Post by: -mek- on April 17, 2019, 01:00:11 AM: My build begins to be ready.

Some notes... I built the bike for my self, for everyday commuting. Not for someone elso or for the show. So, I haven't listened so much for the comments and (good) advice I've got. And I know my built isn't a pure street tracker... My idea was to build a bike it would have been if BMW had built a street tracker in late 80's. So that's why I didn't use any led blinkers or lights or mini bar end mirrors. All the lights and blinkers, as well as the muffler are CE approwed. However, the muffler approval is not for this specific model and it's quite loud, even with the db-killer on. For the first two rides I feel I succeeded. The riding position is nice, the bike handles well. Suspensions is quite sporty, but that's how I like it.

I still have some minor finishing to do, but a test ride was needed for example to know if I must adjust the BEP 3.0 switches before I seal it under the gas tank.

Title: Re: K75 Street Tracker by -mek-
Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on May 06, 2019, 11:10:52 PM: All your other bikes probably weren't bmw's. The hinge on K bikes needs to be at the rear so that the cutout in the mounting flange is above the water drain hole. The way your filler is installed, water will collect around the filler and work it's way into the tank to contaminate the fuel.

Thank's. For headlight I used basic side mounts to fork tubes. Fairing is Dart, made for Triumph. I shortened the Dart brackets and mounted them under headlight bolts. Dash mount is DIY.

For the next winter I will replace the LSL Flat Track handlebar by Tommaselli Enduro handlebar. LSL has too much projection (180 mm), Tommaselli 104 mm. http://www.domino-group.com/en/12-products/30-handlebars/779-handlebar-high-bend.html LSL is also 7/8" (22,2 mm), so I had to sand 0,2 mm under the gas grip. Tommaselli is 22,0 mm, so I only have to drill holes for heated grips.

Next winter I will also replace the screen. I bought a BMW OEM r nine t Urban GS screen, which also covers the gap between dash/headlight/fork, so the wires behind dash and headlight will no more be wisible.

Also changed fork bushings.

My K75 also got a facelift with BMW R Nine T Urban GS fairing. Welding the headlight/meter/fairing mount was lots of measuring, bending, welding and grinding. I also replaced the OEM fork brace by self made version. Fork boots didn't really fit so good with the OEM brace. Both were powder coated. Since the style not really is pure street tracker, let it now be K75 ST, by the R80 ST, the sister model of R80 G/S.

Post by: -mek- on April 17, 2020, 03:18:10 AM: I test started the bike on February after the water pump replacement and all worked fine. Three weeks ago I got my brand new GS and swapped the the K75 to car shelter and the new R1250 GS to the garage for adding some equipment. I renewed the battery to K75 a year ago and it has been on CTEK charger the whole winter, so I was really surprised, when the starter could not crank the engine. I then took a jump start from my wifes car and it started fine.

When testing more, sometimes the starter could crank the engine, but mostly not. So I disassembled it and found the other brush quite worn and the starter full of coal dirt. I ordered a full repair kit from tills.de. Let's see if cleaning the starter and replacing brushes and bearings helps. If not, my next suspect is the Hall effect sensor. It may be repairable as well, at least the wires.

Title: Re: K75 Street Tracker by -mek-
Post by: -mek- on April 24, 2020, 05:09:40 AM: I overhauled the starter and cleaned all ground and power connectors, won't start. Yesterday I got help from my wife and was able to check the voltage also when starting. Battery had 12,6 V, but when starting, it dropped under 7 V. Somehow my Ctek XS 3600 charger seems to destroy batteries during winter (battery was one year old Exide AGM battery, 19 Ah). It sure isn't any plug in and forget -charger. I got new battery yesterday evening, just before the local part shop's closing time. With new battery it works brilliant again.

Thinking positive, the starter should have been overhauled anyway quite soon and specially the ground connectors are quite common reasons for starting problems also, so it's good all are checked and clean now.

Bad thing is that we still got 5 cm new snow last night, next few days it will still be just around zero, so not yet riding.
