Hi,
I just acquired a 85 K100 project bike that has an electrical gremlin or so I was told by the previous owner. I ahven't had time to sort out all the pieces he took off but the problem is that the starter runs as soon as the battery is connected without using the key or starter button. I'm hoping that it will be a simple find/fix and I can get this low mileage (approx. 23,000 miles on the odometer) K-bike running again.
I presently have a number of bikes ( 2 Urals, a Dnepr, 2 BMW's, Triumph Bonneville and others) so wrenching to me is half the fun.
Looking forward to posting questions and hope some of you in the forum can help me get this bike back on the road.
