Motor Swap
« on: August 23, 2016, 09:30:39 AM »
Found a crashed, low mileage 1986 K75C that I would like to buy for the motor. Is it a direct replacement for my (Non ABS) 1990 K75RT? I realize the rear wheel/brake is different but would separate the motor from transmission and install it with its original injection setup, ignition, etc. Also, if the trans is the same can I swap them as a unit and just replace the swing arm, drive shaft and wheel, or maybe just the wheel/brake assembly? All the bodywork is removed from my RT and it's been somewhat of a cafe bike, lately. Any advice is appreciated.
