K75 Engine Swop Questions

[bluebossa]

Howdy,

So - got me a replacement lump for my K75
It's a K75 RT 94 (my bike is a 91 RT) with 53k miles and said to be good, but who knows! - to try and get my K back on the road
- read other threads for that saga!

Few questions - I've meanwhile set to cleaning it up and getting it in shape to fit on the bench.

1. What's the easiest way to replace - split the frame front and rear, drive and front separation first, or fit in situ - unbolt, drop and lift back in?
I've seen the YouTube Vid on splitting the Bike to get the Drive and Engine into one piece - is this the best way to replace Engine..

2. Any checks I can do on the bench? Engine turns freely but obviously easy to access at present?

3. Beyond a replacement Clutch plate, any other recommended actions to help it's long life?

Couple of pics attached.

Thanks in advance...

My advice would be to follow the detailed procedure in the BMW OEM service manual for the 2V K-bike.  This is in Section 11, pages 11.25 - 11.33.  I've done it single-handedly and it's straight forward.  As they say, installation is the reverse of removal.

Wilco - I've got the Haynes manual too...
