My K 75RT is back on the road after some overhaul and major service.

New single seat, side panels and rear cowling/fairing in place of the rather ugly Police radio box and the old battery panels that go with it.
Oil/water pump overhaul.
New rear master brake cylinder
New main seal.
Clutch and Spline lube. Staburags.
Clutch actuation, center- and side stand bushings renewed/cleaned and grease nipples fitted.
New rubber boots for clutch actuation and front of swingarm.
All fluids and filters new. Including coolant and brake fluids front and rear.
New clutch cable and throttle cable.
New Bridgestone Battlax tires.
New dry Battery. 30Ah and has 430 A cranking power. Size 166x126x175.
Wheels painted.
Swingarm, gearbox, sidestand and centerstand painted satin black.


Advanced timing 4 degrees. 3mm TDC (clockwise). See picture, (a little bit out of focus). Very noticeable and pleasing increase in bottom end torque. The (hot) idle speed went up from 900 rpm to 1100. Took it down to 900 again.

I  bought  Actron vacuum pump on eBay to make changing brake fluid easier. Changing brake fluid is now a walk in the park! Very easy. I recommend buying Actron, not the cheap Chinese no name replicas.

I had a very pleasant surprise when I started riding again! Since I got this bike I have had this annoying pulsing motion when using the front brake, I´ll bet many of you no what I am talking about. The strange thing is, that after bleeding the front brakes with the vacuum pump, the pulsing was gone! I was very surprised and really hope it will stay this way. My guess is that this pulsing might be because small amount of air remains in the system when you bleed it "the usual way", Anyway, it´s a very pleasing bonus!

The bike is a pure joy to ride, feels like new......... A real Flying Brick!

That's an excellent list.

Apart from the painting and the throttle cable done all those jobs too and an amazing difference.

I got a replacement rear wheel to match a good front wheel I have in my shed and they will go on soon to avoid repainting. Rear is already on as it came with a good BT45 on it.

Last item on my list is throttle cable.......and a heat shield.

And I love the Bridgestone tyres too...

Now you have to enjoy the summer!!

Hello!

This bike is the police version of a K bike.
There is electric stuff inside.

Hi gsxrjeff.
It is a Police radio box, but I use it as a minibar.


This box needs a special tank. It is a "virgin", that is, nothing has ever being installed into it. It was supposed to take electronic equipment and be drilled for potentiometers, switches, fasteners for microphone e.t.c.

I have a brand new civilian tank for the bike. Maybe I´ll install it one day, or maybe I´ll install a GPS, radio, or some other gadgets into the radio box. The special tank is routed for electric cables, antenna cables and stuff.

wow
cheers
mini bar

Ah now I understand......

Later BMWs have cappuccino machines.......
