Someone posted a link to this blog on another board.

Short answer: The official bikes are Kawasakis and a lot of the camera...

I hope Jon's not offended ny your comments. He's one of the most helpful and knowledgeable folks on this board. ;)

Oh, wait! It was me that took the thread off topic. My apologies for doing so....

Had to go to a wedding Saturday. We had hoped to join the group today and really tried. We had a bit of sun when we left at 7:30 but by the time we finished breakfast in Marengo, the rain had...

My rider's manual states that ABS will not work below 2.5 mph (on a '95 K75RT.)

So, are you saying that you age your oil before you use it? :dunno

Dom't mind me, I'm just wasting time while my wife MOWS THE LAWN :bliss

What the other guys said is true and I'd like to add the following:

The water pump and oil pump share the same shaft. Between the two pumps, each has its own seal and there is a small space...

There is one exception to this rule but I don't know if it applies in this situation. Many cars have a strainer on the fuel pickup. If there is a lot of debris in the tank, it can pick up on the...

You're more than welcome to try mine the next time we meet. In fact, I'd be delighted to have you ride my bike and let me know if everything feels like it should.

What about the '95 seat? I'm certainly happy with the comfort level, but then again, I have a Brooks B-17 on my road bicycle and most would consider that an instrument of torture.

The seat on my...

I think so.

I don't know. I've seen some different saddles on various K bikes and not all of them were aftermarket. A friend with a K1100LT told me that it had the same saddle as my K75RT (or at...

I'm not sure if your questions are rhetorical or otherwise, so I'll answer.


1. I changed the oil last summer using the BMW fork oil. The seals do not appear to leak. Is there other service...

I'll have to look into that. As for the wobble:


1. Front tire
I've replaced the front twice and it makes no difference. (Currently running a ME 330)
2. Steering head bearings loose and/or worn...

I went with a new-to-me used shock that I bought from the president of the IBMWR. He sold it as a Progressive and it came in a Progressive box, but the shock was labeled Works Performance and matched...

Weight wise, my owner's manual lists a laden weight of 502 lb for a plain K75 and 564 for a K75RT (fully laden - fluids and full tank.) So the RT adds 62 lb and much of that is carried high (I...

Actually... If you took one look in my garage, you would see why I didn't invite you! :eek

Wow! Mine did not look like that. In addition to the matte black clutch lining coating, I had a little pile of rubber crumbs and aluminum shavings in the depression above the alternator.

Would the same hold for a '95 K75RT with 50K miles? Would I be 10K miles overdue for a new rear shock? I have no particular reason to believe it is bad other than age and miles. I've only ever ridden...
