Ok, re-assembling the K75S (Orange) and I found an "oddity" in the rear brake system. Going by the manual and MAXBMW website there is what appears to be a return spring in this diagram item #9 or BMW 35 21 1 457 049, Tension Spring (diagram from MAXBMW).
Now on the bike I'm reassembling there is a somewhat similar spring. But no where near as beefy. And haven't been able to locate where it connect other than part 8, and I don't know what #10 in this png is. So I went to my other two K75's and they don't have that spring at all, nada. So is it no longer used, or have my other two K75's never had one or don't need it? Inquiring minds and all. That and getting the whole right plate with all its parts/pieces has been taking a while.
