1988 K100

[Cliff]

Hi, From Cliff NZ. I am considering buying a 1988 K100. Any info on parts that are interchangeable with a 1992 K1100LT/ABS, eg. front disc rotors, wheels, crash bars, etc. The K100 has only done 27,000 kilometres from new and is in good condition except has a seized clutch. Photo attached.
Cheers

I may be mistaken but that pictures looks like it's got 1985 K bike sidecovers and foot peg plates.

Hi, From Cliff NZ. I am considering buying a 1988 K100. Any info on parts that are interchangeable with a 1992 K1100LT/ABS, eg. front disc rotors,different dia and hub wheels,rear, OK...front, different axle and spacers crash bars,you can use the one from the K11 on the K100, but not the other way around etc. The K100 has only done 27,000 kilometres from new and is in good condition except has a seized clutch

What is the VIN?

Hi, k100lt, You may be right, I don't know enough about "K's" to tell the difference. But for the price, $ 300.00 NZD ( approx. $ 235.00 USD ) its a real cheap K. If the cost of "un seizing clutch" is not too much, I will get it back on the road, other wise I will use what parts I can for my 1992 K1100LT.
Is the 1988 ?/1985 clutch replacements very expensive for parts ?.

Hi, Thanks for the info, I will check the "VIN" number.

Search Motobins and Motorworks for prices, I know from other forums that for the Aussies it's cheaper to have the parts sendt from UK than bought home in OZ.

Very few of the parts is identical.........some instrument internals, some relays, tail light and rear flashlight.

What do you mean by seized clutch?

[Inge K.]

I would guess that the pressure plate(s) and friction disc is glued together, due to not been used for many years.

I once had a Cub Cadet riding mower do that where I worked at the time about 30 years ago.  I was able to unstick it by driving it with the clutch pedal depressed.  It eventually released.

HI, Thanks for all the info. I will check what is the clutch problem ( when I can contact the seller ) The bike is in another city/part of NZ. I appreciate all your replies. Thank you.

I'm assuming you have a K1100 parts bike ?

Forks and complete front end will swap over - as will rear wheel giving you  bigger stanchions,better suspension and 4 pot calipers.

ABS - your choice - I spent all my Kay life throwing the stuff away !!

"Seized" clutch sounds like a "frozen" clutch with plates stuck together through standing

From what I understand, it's the other way round - he has a k11 already and was considering the k100 for a parts donor...
