I'm pysched - just picked up a nice condition 87 K75S
I see there are two shop manuals - one by Clymer and Haynes - which one is more for "dummies" I'm pretty good at most stuff but when it comes to adjusting valves and lubing clutch spines, would want the best instruction possible.
Also, system case key is MIA and is locked on bike - any suggestions on how to get a key or pick the lock or ????
Where is engine serial number stamped on engine?
Looking foward to working on this one. It's in good shape but needs some TLC - fluids changes, air in tires, inspect spark plugs, air filter, fresh brake fluid, the usual. In no big hurry to get on the road - have another bike and want to take my time to get it right.
The handgrips are really funky - like foam material - was this the stock handgrip back in the day?
Handlebar risers - besides the kit, it looks like I'll nee to extend my disk brake line? Where is best place to buy? Some said beemerboneyard and A&S Cycles. Your suggestions appreciated.
What is a good product to rub out paint and then wax? There are some fuel stains on the tank that the PO neglected to wipe off.
If I sound excited, I am!!! This will be a nice step up for longer riding from my F650GS.
