Title: Just Another Brick
Post by: MCRyder on August 03, 2015, 02:24:01 PM

Newbie member.  I've owned 3 K-Bikes, 2 K75's and a K1100RS (also a R100RT).  Sold the KRS in '09 and have been Beemerless (but not bikeless) till last Thursday.  That's when I brought home this:

'92 model, 37K miles.  Bodywork and paint in excellent condition, ABS cycles, rad fan came on, Integral cases, tracked and braked just like a K75 on the test ride, service records shows good care.  And I got 15% off the asking price  :clap:

Just removed the FD yesterday.  The PO (who'd owned since '93) couldn't remember a spline lube ever being done, and the service records reflected that.  This is what the splines looked like:

Very good condition.  Just a trace of what I take is the original factory lube.  Big relief  :2thumbup:  Slather some lube on it, button back up, and then check the clutch splines.  Got a number of things scheduled for maintenance.  Already got some valuable info from MotoBrick about valve shim sources.

No expert on K Bikes, but hope to be a contributing member here.
