Hi folks, Greetings from Aotearoa New Zealand.
A long time visitor since I acquired an '87 K75S.
It came from a friend who had high-sided it and got the yikes riding motobikes.
That was about 80,000 kms ago. The last time the mechanic saw the bike he pointed out a couple of things that need doing and suggested putting those dollars into another bike.
We are supposed to be renovating a bathroom, so there are extra $ in the bank account.
Long story short, I have come into ownership of an '86 K75S with less than 5,000 kms on the clock.
Apparently from a collector in Japan. The fellow I bought it from has replaced all fluids, the fuel hose (it revealed a split in the rubber at the certification inspection) and has ordered a new rear brake reservoir and brake master cylinder for me to install.
I am going to have a look at the drive splines and see how the lube is holding up. Is there anything else that I should be wary of before getting too carried away?
Here's a couple of snaps, one has 1/4 of its body weight in black cable ties and insulation tape.
