Title: New Member w/ '87 K75S
Post by: 87K75S on May 11, 2018, 08:50:00 PM
I'm new.  I've had several bikes over the years.  The last was a very nice '04 R1150RT.  It was in for service at my local mechanic and he had a 100RS in there.  I immediately wanted a K bike!  Sold the RT to my friend 2 weeks later and bought this bike in Portland about 3 weeks after that (a month ago).


Currently being gone through to make sure that all is well (essentially a #2 Service).  So far only real surprise was the need for a fuel pump even though is seemed to run well.  The black gasket material disintegrated.  Rear spline is done will be doing the other two also.  New tires installed.  Rear brakes gone through.  Will need head set work. 


Probably overpaid but I don't care.  It is a very clean bike and will be awesome when sorted.


Price:  $4,000
Miles:  20,800

Rare to see a K75s of that vintage in that nice of shape.  Mine hasn't looked that good since, well, probably about 1988. :musicboohoo: You said headset you mean steering head bearings?  That's low mileage for wear but the grease may have hardened, read up n the fluidbloc dampener too.  Check the last 4 digits of the VIN, if it's under 0300 it was among the first batch imported in Sept of '86, may even be a litter mate of mine
