Hey guys just bought a 1985 k75 off ebay for $450 hopefully i can get it running and enjoy it like you guys do, the bike needs some love but i will do all the work my self.
Got new fuel filter,fuel pump,spark plugs,oil filter, going to try to recharge battery if not buy a new and hopefully it will start.
Just got delivery of it last night so this weekend i will have time to work on it, here are some pics
Thanks

Welcome! Looks good but appears to have not been on the road for half dozen years. Lots of refreshing to do. Links in my sig line may help.

Welcome Gr-Racing. Good to see another K75C on the forum. Good luck with the project!!!
Note: I'm jealous that you got a top box and tragkorb brackets. Mine came stock naked, but with low mileage, after many years of storage.

Welcome to the asylum from the land of OZ. Beware low battery voltage can cause the starter relay points to fuse together. When this happens the bike will just keep on cranking until you remove the earth lead. Bricks need good batteries.
Regards Martin.

Welcome! As mlytle has said, after 6 years in storage, there will probably be some challenges due to old fuel.
What does the inside of the fuel tank look like? That should be one of the very first places to invest some time. There are some good ideas here for getting rid of the crap that may be in there.
Doesn't look like it's been stored outdoors, but nonetheless, get some DeOxit D5 electrical cleaner and start cleaning all the electrical connections. A bit of silicone electrical grease after they're clean will help prevent further corrosion.

So i finally got the gas tank out and i think this bike stop running cause some one piy farm disel the red one.

Are you sure it's diesel? Someone could have put gas stabilizer in the fuel which will turn it red.
In any event, it's a good idea to drain it and check the interior for dissolved rubber parts. Get the old fuel filter out and replace it with a NAPA Gold 3032 and some new fuel lines which should be the expensive submersible type.
Then refill with corn-free gas and a bottle of Techron to clean out the varnish from the rest of the system. With any luck, the stabilizer will have prevented a lot of the crap that results from old ethanol.

+1 on the sta-bil -- That would be very good news!
Pretty sure you are right on the battery connections.. although mine only has 2 pos and 1 neg. I'm not sure about that 3rd lead. :dunno2:
That looks like the earth ground to the trans. case you are holding in the picture. (Batt-)

It had a nasty very strong smell but i think the stabilizer makes more sense thanks for the help, i will drain/clean change filter and pump and the fuel lines and give it a crank
