Hi,
A mate has recently picked up a K100RT and has tasked me with getting it going for him.
At the moment, it doesnt quite start but has been sitting for a while, when I tried to start it yesterday, it fired a couple times but wouldn't get going, im fairly confident if I drain the old fuel out and put some new fuel in it, it should hopefully start.
If anyone has any pointers on easy fuel tank removal or how to drain the tank without removal that would be awesome!
The other major problem I can see with the bike is the clutch seems to be seized.
You cannot pull the hand clutch lever back more than approx 5mm.
I think it is seized inside the clutch housing, as when you try operate the hand lever you can see the clutch arm at the back of the gearbox trying to move but thats where it appears to be stopping.
Bike details
K100RT
Build date 03/1987
Frame No. 0093954 K100RT
Aus. Compliance plate no. 550402
Any help or ideas would be appreciated, im hoping to get to the bike in the next few hours to have a go at trying to get it ride-able again.
Thanks again!
