I have been on and around this forum for a month or two since I aquired a 85 K75c from the dreaded Ebay. Turned out pretty well and am very happy with my first BM after 55 years with various bikes the last two being a MZ ETZ 250 and then to a 82 CX500 Euro Honda,(very nice machine.)I have bought and fitted a Realm Engineering rear shock and am very happy with the performance and also with the service and speed of delivery of the Manufacturer.
Other than a few cold start problems I am very pleased with this bike and it does every thing that I require of a motorcycle and I have been very impressed with the advice I have received from members of this forum for the few posts that I have made.
I would also like to get access to the members password to the downloads etc.
Regards Dennis.

Thanks all for the welcome. I finally worked out my starting problem after the bike finally would not go at all. Checked pump OK checked spark OK . Then what seems to be a continuing theme on this forum , what about connections? Checked the main plug in the CPU and uh-oh !!!!!! Seems that when I was squirting a bit of pain around on the frame I removed the CPU and when I put it back I must have failed to make sure the clip on the plug had clicked in. Anyway I gave the plug and receptor a squirt of contact cleaner and plugged it in ,pressed the button and Bingo instant start and fast idle . Love it. Smoothest Motorcycle engin I have ever experienced and I worked in the trade for many years first as a Salesman at Ryans in Parramatta in the 70s and then self employed straightening Motor cycle frames till around 1990. I had a brief ride on a K100 way back but never a K75. It is a very enjoyable bike for an old bloke like me .
Regards Dennis.
