Hello All,
I just recently purchased a 1985 K100RT - not sure how many miles, but odometer stopped working (broken cable) at 25K miles. There are a few leaks, e.g. engine oil, shaft. I purchased the bike to restore it - just curious if changing faulty seals can be done without removing the engine/trans, or is this much easier to remove the motor from the bike completely? I have plenty of time - just looking for the best approach. Thanks.
