K100 engine and drivetrain
« on: September 23, 2016, 04:01:39 PM »
Kind of a newbie question.  Is the represented drawing of K75 engine and drivetrain the same as K100 in concept?  See pic.
Cheers,
Ray

Yes. Transmission→driveshaft→final drive.

Same clutch location, similar sealing types?

Different clutch diameters, and different final drive ratio's. But you can swap between models. Final drive ratios are stamped into the housing just in front of the shock absorber. You can even put a later Para Lever onto the early ones with a bit of modification, the conversion is posted in the library as is all the final drive ratios. Manuals can also be found in the library.
