Hello chaps!
This thread will serve as a way for me to keep track of my Projekt, itemize what I need to do, and will update when I’ve done it. Suffice to say - this thread may move slowly :)
Background;Purchased this 1986 K75s in Early 2013 at roughly 120,000k's for $2000NZD
Cooling fan was non-functioning at purchase, but apart from that was fairly tidy. No Service History was provided with the bike.
Fairing had obviously been fibreglass repaired at some point, but was done to a high standard, slight rust around the tank filler cap, rear shock past it's best, and needed a new rear tire, but apart from that, ran well, never failed me, and looked good doing it :)
Had a slight crash mid 2013 - posted about it here - only damage was broken handlebar and windshield.
Replaced handlebar with spare bar from my parts bike (1993 K75s with ~40,000ks)
End of 2013 noticed oil leak coming from the oil pressure switch, front shocks not leaking but now working very well either (in combination with the old rear shock proved to be a very 'wallowly' ride) Throttle hesitation and massive backfires on deceleration caused by throttle sync being out.
About April 2014 I went out to start it up and what have you, and noticed the brake light and headlamp were active, even though the kill switch was on and no key. I haven't looked into this yet but suspect water in there somewhere or a shorted connection...
It's been off the road since early 2014 awaiting this Projekt to commence.
