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.
