Title: New bike maintenance (police model?)
Post by: darthbane71 on August 02, 2015, 07:46:19 PM

Hey all, just bought a 93 K75RT. It's been sitting (inside luckily) for about two years and I am planning to/have already done:

Bleed the front brakes
Rebuild rear master cyl (sitting dry and wont pump fluid)
New gas
New Fuel Pump/fuel filter
run some seafoam in the gas tank
fork oil change
Oil/filter change
trans/final drive oil change
Driveshaft spline lube
and new tires.

As I said, the bike's been sitting for a few years so it did need a little tlc, is there anything else I should do to the bike?

Also, the seller I purchased the bike from claimed it was a police model, but I can't find anything to prove this other than a CB radio plug in the dash. Any way I could confirm this? Did they all come with CB plugs?

Here are some pics. it's got a bit of damage to the left side when the PO dropped in his driveway, but I don't have any pics of that.

Well, the gas tank looks like it could have been from a police version, but the rest of the bike looks like a regular K75RT.
Most of the pics of police bikes I have seen have had a solo seat with a radio box where the back seat is, and wider engine guard bars for mounting of lights/siren, etc.....(I've included a couple for reference)
NOT saying yours wasn't intended to be one, only your vin can identify that, but it doesn't look like it from your pics.

As Johnny will come along and say...... Ride it.
Sounds like you are on the right track to get all the fluids flushed out. 2yrs isn't all that bad

Thanks! Once I get the fuel pump and master cyl rebuild kit I will be riding it. And no big deal if it's not a police bike. Just thought it would be kind of cool if it were. Yore right. By the looks it seems as though it wasn't. The vin lookup didn't seem to indicate anything.
