88 K75 Just getting started
« on: September 28, 2020, 09:41:51 AM »
Just acquired this 1988 K75, doesn't run, was told it needs fuel pump and injectors. Fuel in the tank still smells fresh and it isn't all varnished. Pretty clean for a old bike. Plan is to Cafe it once I get it running, until then here's what it looks like right now. Should be a good time let's see where this goes.

Welcome, fastxl! Thanks for the photo.


Be sure to sell all the discarded parts inMotobrick Marketplace's FS~WTB~WTT section. Good luck with your project. Members who are restoring and maintaining these classic motos can use them.

I wept because I had no radials until I met a man who had no splines.

It will be a while before I am selling off parts. Want to just get it running first, then we will see where it goes from there.

Check out this page http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/board,169.0.html before replacing parts willy nilly on the suggestion of someone who obviously couldn't fix it themselves.  That bike looks like a nice survivor, shame to make non reversible mods to it.
