Title: 1989 K75 reanimation
Post by: koshak on February 19, 2020, 10:32:58 AM
Hello

One day sitting in Cyprus was scrolling Latvijan online advertisements for the bikes, and saw her:
(https://i.postimg.cc/KvyDFLn1/01.jpg)

Just one photo, declared millage 43k km.
Called seller, he told the story that bike was bought in Spain somewhen 15 years ago, moved to Latvija, made local registration and.... locked in garage for these 15 years.

My friend colleague was going to Christmass holidays over there (his hometown), so he had a brief look at the bike and purchased on my behalf, moved to another storage.
Then we found who can make shipment.
So carrier picked up the bike from storage location, moved to workshop to create a box, and then loaded into container.

Since bike was abandoned for 15 years, no tests were done at purchase. The only was known that windshield is broken, one mirror fell off, scratches here and there...

(https://i.postimg.cc/d3RdDH8L/06a.jpg)

So from Riga it moved to Klaipeda, then through Rotterdam to Antwerpen, where it stuck for about a week while waiting proper taxi.

Finally, vessel with strange name SEAGO ISTANBUL loaded container onboard on 26 of January and departed to destination.

The journey has started.

The imagination painted all sorts of horror pictures of what could happen to a container ship (https://kot-3axap.livejournal.com/14531.html) in the Bay of Biscay during the icy winter season ...

... as a motorcycle emerges somewhere on a foreign mainland (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/motorcycle-rode-tsunami-180960327/)

(https://i.postimg.cc/fb60CnCV/13.jpg)

... or even disappear in the depths (https://kot-3axap.livejournal.com/21018.html) of the sea to the joy of Poseidon (https://kot-3axap.livejournal.com/21422.html)

But the brave vessel gloriously overcame the dangers of the Atlantic Ocean, waiting for him on every wave, and prepared to enter the calmer Mediterranean Sea. Just to pass that traffic...

(https://i.postimg.cc/xCMNFxpt/14.png)

Finally port of destination appeared on the map.

185. but irrespective of that fact would like to convert to regular seat, to eliminate that "tank cover".
but not sure how to recognize precisely suitable seat on ebay, and also they are without mountings... Did not investigate deeply yet.

So finally vessel arrived.
(https://i.postimg.cc/0jvKgYLx/17.png)

That is another story how i tried to get bike out, will skip...
After a week came to customs warehouse for "goods inspection".

(https://i.postimg.cc/jdZw9Jv0/18.jpg)

Had to open box for customs officer to verify frame and engine numbers and mileage. There were hundreds of screws, had to declare to customs officer that actually it is not a bike import but golden screws.

And here she is, a first look at a new girlfriend, the first timid touch, a gentle wipe of the number on the frame ...
(https://i.postimg.cc/qvFtBV91/19.jpg)

Inspection completed, numbers verified. Was lucky enough to find the truck to take her home immediately. Closing crate back, waiting driver, loading.
(https://i.postimg.cc/LXthVqhW/21.jpg)

Crate safely arrived home and i ran back to work
(https://i.postimg.cc/2yCy9zZS/22.jpg)

Opened crate next day evening. And did not find keys. Although keys were discussed with transport company specifically, not to loose them. Next day was spend for searching keys overseas, they were located in Vilnius warehouse. DHL - and now i have them.

But even if keys were delivered, bike was dead for 15 years. Would not try before some checks.
So inspection was started.

(https://i.postimg.cc/bJNVMHMT/20200214-075518.jpg)

Need such windshield. Do not see in any catalogue.
Although here were numerous remarks that it is mix and custom, i do not see "custom" traces, and also do not understand the reasons of such customization.
This fairing is quite ugly, i am thinking to remove it, to replace with just radiator cover.

(https://i.postimg.cc/Gt4733bT/20200214-075527.jpg)

(https://i.postimg.cc/Y0TXvcSn/20200214-075538.jpg)


The mesh in front of radiator is absent.
(https://i.postimg.cc/yYSQwNfw/DSC08265.jpg)

At both sides installed same temperature gauges. But - connected to nowhere, both.
(https://i.postimg.cc/mgfXRGJh/DSC08268.jpg)

Just visual check is enough to assess battery condition.
(https://i.postimg.cc/bvqmD9zh/DSC08276.jpg)

Too dusty... Washing is needed.
(https://i.postimg.cc/mrV8Q1DF/DSC08281.jpg)

Some leakages in front.
(https://i.postimg.cc/t43r4MGk/DSC08284.jpg)

(https://i.postimg.cc/DZM6NV1v/DSC08293.jpg)

Fuel tank is almost full of fuel. Suppose 15 years old fuel. Is anybody interested in antique liquid?
So to remove tank closed the hose. Will need to install quick coupling, for easier handling. Did such on my R1200C.

If I remember the pic of the bike washed up on a beach occurred off the coast of England during a winter storm around 2012, 2013. Several crates of motorcycles washed overboard and floated ashore, where enterprising Bretoners whisked them away before authorities could round them up.

I would be interested in your low seat and hardware if at some future date you decide to get rid of them. This is a great story, probably all due to the storyteller!

Post by: koshak on February 21, 2020, 02:35:51 AM
Seat - as i wrote, would be interesting in conversion to regular. Not sure yet how to get correct one with accessories.

Customization or restoration - present plans -> restoration with conversion:
- replacement of front fairing
- seat conversion

Would like to have such configuration, with or without windshield:

Will appreciate if somebody can recommend suitable correct parts, preferably from Europe/UK.

Seat - as i wrote, would be interesting in conversion to regular. Not sure yet how to get correct one with accessories.
I use Max BMW's parts fiche (https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/DiagramsMain.aspx?vid=51739&rnd=07242017) to search for parts and verify their suitability. It uses an efficient search format. In the UK, the main sources for new and used parts by members here are Motobins (https://www.motobins.co.uk/) and Motorworks (http://www.motorworks.co.uk/vlive/Home/index.php). James Sherlock, a salvage company, is also a source for used parts.

What you need for seat conversion is in this diagram from Max.
(http://www.motobrick.com/gallery/2/1601-210220083844.png)

The Brick in your example photo has an original equipment standard height Comfort seat. These are relatively uncommon over here but get positive reviews from their users who travel long distances. The photo arrow shows a battery cover which accompanies models with standard height seats—one on each side. These usually must be found as used parts.
(http://www.motobrick.com/gallery/2/1601-210220084248.jpeg)


This photo shows the standard height bench seat. These are the most common standard height seats. Some riders find these seats uncomfortable on rides longer than a few hours. I have one that was remodeled using more resilient and comfortable padding. I like this seat's profile because it allows me to shift position on it easily.
(http://www.motobrick.com/gallery/2/1601-210220084849.png)


If you complete the conversion, you should consider searching for and installing the combination  toolbox and control unit holder that accompanies the standard height seat on a stock Brick.

Post by: koshak on February 21, 2020, 12:01:15 PM
Thank you, Laitch. That is great summary and good starting point.

James Sherlock through ebay i used for my conversion of k1200GT to k1200R. Got many parts from them but unfortunately their shipping costs are incredible.
Battery covers look same for both seat, that is correct?
And I saw some information, that parts from RT model are not suitable, is my understanding correct?
Title: Re: 1989 K75 reanimation
Post by: Laitch on February 21, 2020, 12:59:11 PM

And I saw some information, that parts from RT model are not suitable, is my understanding correct?
Both styles of standard height seats have the same battery covers. I was describing these covers based on your K75 and the K75 in your example photo, not any other model including the K75RT. Your understaning is correct. It's best to verify all understandings, suppositions, theories and hypotheses with hard data and multiple experiential descriptions. In fact, skip all the supposition, etc. and head straight to the parts fiche then to verification of what you find.  :laughing4-giggles:

This is where the Max parts fiche helps. If you look for K75 RT battery covers in the K75RT Frame and Fairing section, you might note that it has a different part number than the cover for a K75. That verifies that part won't work on your model unless there is a note that states it will. BMW line diagrams are not always accurate regarding the parts' shapes; they just indicate part positions and utility. I haven't had trouble just buying the part if its in the section for my Brick's model and is listed for its model year.

It's useful to obtain inside and outside photos of the part before buying it from private sources because claims for its fitment can be inaccurate. You can post the photos here for verification if you are in doubt.

but not sure how to recognize precisely suitable seat on ebay, and also they are without mountings... Did not investigate deeply yet.

So for us non- metric types 185 is
185 cm = 6'0.83
185 cm is taller than about 87.5% of men and 100% of women in the USA. ... One inch is 2.54 centimeters so Inches = centimeters / 2.54. Some countries use feet and inches to measure height and others use centimeters or meters.

PS - how cool you shared the tracking of the container ship with us. 

I was amazed how shiney clean I was able to make my fuel tank with simple cleaning methods and materials.

Recently(in the past two weeks) i saw a photo of a K bike with a low seat that didn't have that awful tank cover.  The owner had cut off the battery covers where they met the seat.  The bike looked pretty good in the photos.

Wish I could remember where I saw it.  I don't think it was on any of the K bike forums, maybe it was ebay or Craig's List.

At 5'7" I would scratch up the fuel tank plenty without that surround. 

Also, I find myself gripping it with my knee or knees in the corner adding to my sense of connectedness to the moto. 

Indeed, it took me several months to get around to installing my low seat system last summer, but with it installed I found myself craving more time on my cycle. The surround is functional for me.

That said, yes, it changes the lines significantly- more of a  Shadow, Magna, Virago look.

Looks like you need to put a couple cans of Deoxit on the shopping list.  If you can find it, S100 motorcycle cleaner is my favorite way to clean parts as I take them off the bike.  Does an incredible job of removing the accumulated road dirt and grease, and makes all the rest of the restoration work much more pleasant.

Good news on the rear master cylinder is that some of us here have found a very inexpensive replacement.

Those parts have been noticed, but noone has tried them that we know of.  I suspect they are probably quite usable for the price since genuine BMW parts are ridiculously overpriced.  You could be doing us all a service by trying them.

http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,13309.0.html

As far as the fuel sender, as long as the wiring for the pump still works, I would take care of the pump and clean out the tank while watching for a sender.  As always, dont forget to search on K1100 senders. 

I'm not sure what the difference is, but there are two different part numbers for this part.  This is one of the later versions.

That looks like a good package. The price is so low it might make you reluctant to purchase it but members here have been buying cheap equipment like fuel pumps and rear brake master cylinders from aftermarket suppliers like that one with generally good results.

level sender cannot be used, it simply does not exist anymore.
wiring is affected as well.
the pump electrically seems to be alive (produces noise well), but is not working as impeller stuck.
soaked in penetrating oil, will see tomorrow if it helps.
all stuff like inlet filter, rubber damper - kaput.

so, looks like i will be the tester of that kit, as it includes everything.

photos to follow.

thanks for link of sender. strangelly seller does not want to ship to my location, will investigate options tomorrow.

Was the transmission side of driveshaft held in place by a circlip? Yes, it was.

Such a strange and confusing construction.—It is understandable with a diagram. Intuitive construction isn't always a commodity built into affordable machinery.
It is understandable even without diagram, but the purpose is not understandable. "Automatically" folding stand, that can lead to the scratched left side one day.  boohoo

Your model of fuel sender does exist if yours is the type with a float. If yours is the plastic probe that screws into the tank, then your tank is not from a 1989 moto.

The side stand's automatic folding action can be eliminated. There are posts on the site to help you accomplish that.

Regarding the side stand: it's a safety feature to prevent riding off with the side stand down. There are other options. You don't need to leave it that way. Read this thread (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php?topic=8349.0).

Kashak's bike is a 1989 and the sender I linked is for 1993 and later.  Does anyone know what the difference is?  Are they interchangeable???

The photos at MaxBMW look the same for the two parts, but they have different part numbers.
Title: Re: 1989 K75 reanimation
Post by: Laitch on February 24, 2020, 11:13:29 PM
When I look in Max's fiche, the part number was the same for K75, K100 2V, K100 4V and K1100. Euro Motoelectric show differing part numbers and applications but the parts looked similar. I think the upshot of all this is that float-type of senders are still being made and can be obtained with enough cash.

koshak should clarify whether his is float-type or probe-type. His moto seems to be a 1989 but his tank could have been a salvaged replacement from an early model.

There are two different "petrol gauges" with floats. 

P/N 62 16 1 459 565    PETROL GAUGE (to 01/93)

and,

P/N 62 16 2 305 558    PETROL GAUGE (from 01/93)

The photos at MaxBMW do not show what difference there may be between them.  It seems that in 1993 the wiring harness they connect to changes as well. 

I have both pre and post 1993 bricks, and I never noticed a difference in the senders.  They both work with the same fuel level gauge and instrument clusters, so I don't thing they are electrically different, and the tanks they are used with are the same, so the mount and the arms shouldn't be different.   I would guess that they're interchangeable, but someone more knowledgeable than I should confirm it.

Euro Motoelectric uses the 558 photo for both the 558 and the 565.  I'd buy either if I needed one, preferably the cheaper if its in stock.  :laughing4-giggles: If he wants to spend, koshak will be able to get a gauge for his tank if it has that type of sender.

Gents, there is misunderstanding.

The fuel sender which is installed in my tank- cannot be used, as it does not exist anymore - you will see photos later.
The replacement is obviously available.
Yes, it is of float type.

What i am doing now, is just overall inspection of condition and making list of needed parts.
I had plans to start her on this week for a test ride, but further photos will show that it probably will not be possible.

Then next week i am leaving for business trip to Malaysia for a month. Same time will order some parts for engine overhaul, so hopefully they arrive to my return. And then will plan to strip the engine and will think about cosmetic upgrade.

Had on shelf Chinese master cylinder (corona virus free, as much older). It is not plug n play, fitting holes are not matching, and also rod had to be cut. So made temporary adapter for tests. By the way, not opening brakes calipers, as did not order overhaul kits yet. That will be ordered soon.

As i wrote at the beginning, bike came without keys. So i just removed the tank (and it arrived filled with petrol) and put aside. So keys came, and now is time to open tank and drain fuel. But not only fuel was drained, but loose parts.......

(https://i.postimg.cc/rpcmWK1D/DSC08487.jpg)

The venting hose from filter cracked and broken in parts. Should its second side be connected to that breathing pipe near opening?
(https://i.postimg.cc/d37tvdYx/DSC08488.jpg)

Fuel level sensder
(https://i.postimg.cc/65v5mdz7/DSC08489.jpg)

Power to the fuel pump goes through the connector of fuel sender. But positive wire rot off. And the bad thing, that remaining piece of terminal does not have continuity to the plug. So to try to start the pump, cut the wires and modified, to have power to the pump.
(https://i.postimg.cc/BZynph59/DSC08494.jpg)

No power was coming anyway, found fuse of fuel system burned. Replaced. Pump gives some sound, so it was hope for pumping effect.
(https://i.postimg.cc/Z5PYT4G4/DSC08498.jpg)

Removed pump from tank, put a hose to the discharge line, dropped pump into can with petrol drained off the tank earlier, power on... Nice zzzzzz is coming, but no petrol... Holding it in hand - feels torque when starting and stopping.
(https://i.postimg.cc/RhjC0FCV/DSC08499.jpg)

So decided to look inside of the pump, as anyway it should be thrown away, and replacement will not come soon.
(https://i.postimg.cc/ZqTbnXm3/DSC08503.jpg)

Electric part looks nice, but pump does not rotate.
(https://i.postimg.cc/0Nc8wZ54/DSC08505.jpg)

So removing rotor from the rod (held by retaining ring)
(https://i.postimg.cc/Px7T6xwz/DSC08506.jpg)

Pump disassembled, but impeller still cannot turn or remove from housing. Even if put in vise. Even with hummer.
Ok, put some penetrating oil on it and left till next evening.
(https://i.postimg.cc/63qBLRyp/DSC08508.jpg)

So, for now i already placed order to the pump replacement kit we discussed earlier, and also for used fuel sender from K1100LT as per link above - it was cheaper than the same from Belgium i have found earlier.

Also, some time ago ordered original top box, and it is already arrived, will try to pick it from the post today. But it is without mounting plate. How is this plate looking? Easy to fabricate, or need to search original part?
This is the box:

A future project at the Trades Guild for me was to look at making the retaining plates and pins. It is doable but whether there is enough of a call for them and how much time and effort is needed. Too many projects at the moment, however I'll have a talk to my engineering mate and see if it's viable.

overhauled fuel pump. now it is not only turning easily, but also pumps the fuel.  :laughing4-giggles: Tested in bucket filled with that antique drained fuel.
But just received call from FedEx, and am going to pickup that replacement aftermarket pump  44271
so no chance old pump to be tested in tank (which was actually planned for tonight), it will remain as emergency kit.

Have the question. I am in search of driveshaft. New one seems to be available, but costly. Will go for it, if not find alternative.
Here is the photo of one used, from ebay. What can you say about splines? look much better than mine, but shows overheating signs (? how it can be just in one section, not at whole?) at about 5 o'clock, and some wear already started.

Well, that because that rod is not a shaft, but just a rod pressed into lower "flange". So, soaking in penetrating oil over the night helped, next day it was possible firts to turn, then to disassemble.
(https://i.postimg.cc/tgjbM0nv/DSC08509-resize.jpg)

parts cleaned and polished, to allow rotor to rotate in the pump housing.
(https://i.postimg.cc/3RLHNdSz/DSC08511-resize.jpg)

Test run in the bucket of petrol. nice fountain. by the way, if to assemble pump covers turning for 90 degrees from original, pump will make pumping effect... do not ask how i know that...

(https://i.postimg.cc/W3pvsMnM/DSC08513-resize.jpg)

Out of curiosity disassembled rear master cylinder... Strange that braking liquid became that solid here, but same time in front brakes remained liquid, and brakes are working... well, more or less working...
obviously, all calipers will be overhauled when receive seals.
by the way, rear brake, even with the installation of the alternative master cylinder, did not come back to life.
(https://i.postimg.cc/hv6W8Nqr/DSC08519-resize.jpg)

And the new pump arrived, surprisingly fast. So, will not install old pump into the tank, will keep it as an emergency kit.
(https://i.postimg.cc/MHvJQqgH/DSC08521-resize.jpg)

Ordered complete kit, but it is strange that in the bag with rubber sleeve they did not include nuts, but electric terminals, same as with pump itself.
(https://i.postimg.cc/tgNb0rhq/DSC08522-resize.jpg)

Aftermarket pump looks exactly as original.
(https://i.postimg.cc/FKNtxjw2/DSC08523-resize.jpg)

Before installation, decided to make a pumping test, just to compare it with the old one... Hmm, did i say old one will be used as emergency? Now not sure, that requires checking fuel pressure on the bike.
(https://i.postimg.cc/KYN6p124/DSC08524-resize.jpg)

This what happens when anti-seize compounds are not used. Studs for exhaust manifold were turned out, instead of nuts. One stud broke. And only one nut came off as should be.
(https://i.postimg.cc/0QyLT9kn/DSC08525-resize.jpg)

So, pump in, bike assembled back, test start and test ride.
(https://i.postimg.cc/6pRwc6qG/20200229-121300-resize.jpg)

(https://i.postimg.cc/nVPJt9QD/20200229-122119-resize.jpg)

20 years old tyres, not working rear brake... Challenging... So careful low speed ride around for 38 km, to see how she works.... So far not bad.

Getting ready to leave for a month. Put bike to the workshop.
(https://i.postimg.cc/gJtfd1rW/DSC08529-resize.jpg)

Now during this month should order parts for engine overhaul (most of the seals already bought locally), brakes etc.
Would like to replace all braking hoses to braided, but ebay shows "standard" pictures in lots for K75. To trust or not to trust, that is the question... Does anybody know reliable and proven source of the hoses kit for K75, preferably in Europe?

You remember i was asking about an empty connector? As per the wiring diagram, that is connector for optional accessories, and one of them is the fuel level indicator.

As you'll discern from the links supplied in the previous post, this gauge and its splitter wiring isn't available in the States. You'll need to search the used market for BMW gauges. If you want to use gauges from a different maker, you'll need to reconfigure the wiring of your fuel sender—something probably well within your skill set.

Month ago placed order for set of spares for rebuild from my usual supplier in Germany.
All parts collected already, but the connecting rod bolts are still missing. The delivery date was shifted, shifted, until they did not change it to status "Date unknown".  boohoo

The good thing is that i am abroad now, so not working on the bike (which is now stripped to the last bolt, by the way). But if within two weeks it will not be solved, need to search alternative.

From where can i get this connecting rod bolts? New. Need 14 pieces (for K75 and K1).

I operate on the belief that If they have the parts in stock, they'll sell them to me and ship them. Their listings tend to indicate when a part might not be available. If you are sensitive to where they source their parts, how long it will take you to get the parts, or disappointment in general, you probably should email them for reassurance.

If you haven't tried heating the bolts with a heat gun, applying a penetrant like Liquid Wrench, waiting a few minutes then using a socket on a breaker bar or impact wrench, you might try that.

I wouldn't have recommended it if I hadn't used the method successfully numerous times. You're heating the bolt head and nut; a heat gun isn't precise. Heating the bolt can crack up corrosion and helps conduct the penetrant down the shaft into the threads. You let it cool then you loosen it.

Laitch, did you use this method on conrod bolts? They are not screwed in, they are tight pressed as i understand.
No, but I wouldn't be shy about using this method on con rod bolts. The principle is the same. The flanges of both the nut and bolt might be seized to the rod so you're not only try to break corrosion on the threads beneath the nut but also on the nut flange and the bolt head.

We aren't. With your depth of experience rebuilding motorcycles, I was surprised you even asked the question, but I answered. I'm not invested in your compliance with the suggestion. I'm sure you'll get it done one way or the other.

Once penetrating oil has been used, a deadblow hammer can be used to drive out the bolt. After the bolt bores have been cleaned and lubricated, the replacement bolts shouldn't pose a problem during insertion.

I was asked to make some measurements. Here it is.

Hmmm, that looks exactly like the gap in my engine as well.  Makes me think it's designed in.

Now the question is WHY???  All I can see it do is make the engine clank like a can of scrap metal when it's coming off idle.

Here's a photo of mine:

Thanks Koshak, that's really surprising, I felt sure it was going to be less. Maybe it's too small a sample, but the handful of times I've read about the problem have all been about 1993 models. Now I'm wondering if it might be reduced tension in the output shaft circlip that could cause a noise.

P. S. I'm wrong, I've since read about earlier models with the problem.
Title: Re: 1989 K75 reanimation
Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on November 03, 2020, 03:12:26 PM
Daveson, that tension has nothing to do with the output shaft clank. 

It's not a circlip, but a spring that preloads the anti-lash gear.  It has nothing to do with the tab in that slot.  As far as I can tell, it's free to bang around all it wants as the engine runs.  Any unevenness in rotation speed from cylinder to cylinder at low rpm is going to make that tab bang around like crazy. 

That effect of imbalance is the reason I work hard to have valve gaps as uniform from cylinder to cylinder as possible, and balance throttle bodies frequently.

My engine had a perfect spring and still clanked like someone was hammering on the insides of the engine.  While gear lash can probably make the clanking worse, eliminating the lash won't make it go away. 

I was able to get temporary relief from the noise by cleaning all the oil from the faces of the clutch basket and the balance shaft and torquing the clutch nut to a few pounds above the spec.  Got rid of the noise for maybe 3-4,000 miles or about half of my riding season.

The only thing that prevents that tab banging around in the slot is the friction between the clutch hub and the balance shaft which isn't very much because both surfaces have pretty smooth surfaces.

It's a pretty shiity design.
Title: Re: 1989 K75 reanimation
Post by: daveson on November 03, 2020, 03:51:08 PM
Agree about the clutch basket and anti lash gear comments. I wasn't meaning to point to the anti lash. Realise I'm reaching a bit. Was surprised the gap was the same. Did your tabs have marks consistent with banging? It's about time I got familiar with suppliers catalogs and part numbers,  then I might be able to find a difference around 1993.

On mine (a k100, but same deal I think) the circlip (the castellated type) ties the bearing with the gear.

I better leave it at that, I feel I've thread jacked this a bit.
Title: Re: 1989 K75 reanimation
Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on November 03, 2020, 09:40:29 PM
The K100 doesn't have a balance shaft or that tab-in-slot thingie, thus the clank is part of the K75's unique charm. 

As far as any wear or distortion, there was none visible on my parts.  The gap was made at the factory when the parts were machined.  Like I said, shiity design.
Title: Re: 1989 K75 reanimation
Post by: daveson on November 03, 2020, 09:51:03 PM
Yep the K100 is way different, was referring to the circlip, which seems to be the same.

The circlip on mine was also cone shaped so acted as a spring too. Strange to also act as a spring, since it's open ended. That makes me wonder how it could be tested for reduced tension.

If yours was the castellated type, the concave side should have been facing the bearing.

cannot continue with the crankcase until spares arrive (some gaskets, oil sight glass, conrod bolts), so wrapped it in plastic and placed aside.

will play with other stuff.

rusty stand assembly. why not to bring it in better order now?
as i told earlier, originally here is self-folding side stand.
such confusing construction, and i found it inconvenient for me.
(https://i.postimg.cc/bwgBRBVJ/DSC08437.jpg)

so already replaced to the "non-self folding type". Also have parts to connect it to the clutch gear, but did not decide yet if will do this connection. May be do test after final assembly and then decide.

Hi Koshak,

Would you be able to do me one more favour, if your engine is still in pieces?

If you remove the output shaft from the gear and rotate it 180 degrees, do the tabs prevent it from re-engaging  with the gear? If so, maybe that's their purpose.

Unless somebody else already knows the answer?

In Haynes says 420 when dry
In Maintenance manual says 0.330 for K75.

Title: Re: 1989 K75 reanimation
Post by: Laitch on November 17, 2020, 11:04:38 AM
The 420ml figure is for Showa forks from 1991 on when the oil is drained completely.
The attached chart from IBMWR is widely accepted and shows the figures for Showas, sport forks and Brembos. Brembos are identified by an imprint on the slider.

back to the story.

Conrod bolts.

Prior i did that order arrangements through the local workshop - I placed an order to a german supplier I use for other bikes. However, after more than a month of waiting I canceled the order.

Ordered bolts lost during shipment. I do not care for money as I did not pay. But half year waiting, and still no response/actions. As I was told, the supplier sent a replacement for the lost parcel, and it lost as well. Even in the days of global covidiotism, that sounds unbelievable, considering we are talking about courier services.

Alternative search did not give results  - I did not find pre-1992 bolts anywhere. If somebody is reading this and can advise a place where such bolts are available - I will appreciate it.

During this search, got the impression that all those "caferacersbuilders" do not replace bolts as maker requires. One guy replied that his motor ran just 50K km, and therefore there is no need to replace good bolts.

So, I got post-1992 bolts. They are different. And the difference is not only on the bolt head and how bolt is fixed to prevent its rotation in the conrod while tightening. The main problem - they are different in diameter (later bolts have a bigger diameter for about 0.1mm if remember correctly now), so they are not directly replaceable.
Here machining comes to help in size reduction.

Bolts comparison: pre-1992 (upper) and post-1992

Hi Koshak,

I’m having the same issues with conrod bolts at the moment. How has your engine been since using the 92 onwards bolts? No issues?
Title: Re: 1989 K75 reanimation
Post by: koshak on July 10, 2022, 03:29:08 PM
hello
why there would be issues? they are the same steel bolts 
both engines i did (K75 and K1) are fine with these bolts.
