Hello from Cambridge,Ontario,Canada
« on: June 04, 2016, 10:43:55 PM »
Hello new to the K-bike. Have a 74 R75/6 last rode  in 1986. Needs some work :eek: Just purchased the K75s in February. Finished a clutch check/spline lube. Have changed all fluids/fuel filter spark plugs. Was told the bike sat for 1 year. I think for a least 2. All the fluids were filthy except for the coolant clean brite green. Will change to a alluminum coolant.

Welcome to the asylum :bmwsmile.  My bike's PO said it had set for a while...after my check cleared he further defined awhile to approximately 1996 :hehehe.  If you have not run it yet, the coolant will be deceiving as the particulates settle out...My fork oil was the worst and took several changes to "clear up".

Welcome from south of the border in Western New York.  Beware the dreaded Kpox which causes normally sane people to scour Craig's list and other venues for additional bricks to fill their garages.

Welcome. I saw that bike when it was for sale on kijiji...it was down on the peninsula, correct? They are pretty durable machines all around. I doubt that bit of dirty fluid will do much....but nice to have fresh stuff. See the thread on the tendency of those fairing mounts to loosen over time. It's an easy fix but best to be informed. I'm just down the road from you in Hamilton. I rarely see a K bike on the road around here.
