This is great!

I ride a 92 K75S ABS and really enjoy working on it too. 26 k miles so far.

Neat car

the last came off production in 1993. the first registration date for the first owner could be 1995 put that was not the end of production date.

Glad to see you got the bike running well. Awesome bikes. I have a BMW R1100RT. I almost bought a K75RT in showroom condition. But old gas was left in it and it had the same problem yours did. Hindsight, I should have beat the price down and bought it anyway. I'll never see one as mint at that one again. I was learning about working on BMW bikes then. I have done all maintenance, plus replaced the transmission. Great bikes to work on. Sweet to ride. So many are being cut up to be cafe style bikes. What a shame :(

I had one of those. But not for long; doing maintenance was annoying to me. I don't know, it never really grew on me.

Lol I’m out here looking at your K75 videos and see this. Roy is real a good friend of mine from the 944 world.

just because black ice looks any different than white ice it doesn't make it anymore dangerous

*as cars casually drive through*

Not everyone lives in Seattle. Thanks tho

new dream car

Ain’t no one going to liberal homeless hell, thanks tho.

This isn't black ice...it's just ice

Too many black guys

Montana is so bad ass are used to live in Jackson hole and you haven’t seen black eyes like Jackson hole. Oh wait, you live in Montana

From Montana . . . Thanks for the heads-up!

Is the interior color blue?

Great video and great bike! Please consider removing the music...it ruins the video.

Why did you attempt to start the bike without doing the prep work. I can't handle it when people crank and crank, drain the battery and damage stuff by overheating things. My blue 87 k75s after 10 years sitting started within 1 second of pressing the start button because I did thorough pre-start work for 3 weeks.

A thousand thank. Wonderful car. I can only dream about it.

5:20 that old Merc makes me miss my old Jag, black and chrome with that brown interior. Miss it so much!

good

nice

Turn the lights off might have helped preserve the life of the starter 🤷🫡

2 ways to store it, long term: 1-tank full with non ethanol gasoline (good luck finding that depending where you live) or gasoline with an additive to extend shelf life, but i trust more method 2- empty tank, carburetors, make sure they are bone dry, store bike in a dry place far away from the elements. Worst case - when you need to bring it back to life 20-30-40 years later you might have some old rubber parts to replace. Best case, there wont even be a gas leak at all anywhere. But needs be stored somewhere dry and without temperature fluctuations. Some materials will rot regardless, just the way it is. Have fresh oil in it before storage and ideally squirt some inside the cylinders.

These bikes were built in time of real gasoline. The components do not do well with modern gasoline.

Go to flying brick forum. Lots of help from the community.

Parts getting hard to get. I do not hear the fuel pump whine.

Is that the stock exhaust?

Did you pull the choke on to start it ? I've owned a K75c for 16 years , try charging your battery, also make sure your Negative battery lead is tight , just under the injector cover , fresh petrol should do the trick , they have a starter relay issue sometimes depending on age , but I've never had probs with it , nice smooth ride . Good luck 👍

A beauty

Don't forget to find yourself a supply of low-ethanol gasoline! Otherwise all those lovely new bits of rubber you installed is just going to melt into the fuel again. A quick bit of googling says that American Shell V-Power contains not more than 5% ethanol (E5) E5 is what we used to protect classic car fuel systems here in the UK.

Here in the UK, we have three types of petrol, 99, 97 and 95 RON octanes. I don't think low octane (95 RON) is a particular problem for this engine. However, anything made before the 21st century will probably have fuel system components that are susceptible to the corrosive nature of the bioethanol we add to fuel now. Standard petrol contains 10% ethanol (E10) For classic cars you must use the 5% stuff (E5), typically known as Premium (97-98 RON and E5) Obviously you not in the UK but when your finally get this working, make sure you find out which local gasoline has the lowest ethanol percentage. Also, look into the anti-corrosion fuel additives, although i don't know anything about them and YMMV. Lovely bike though, i don't even like bikes and i want one! 🤤

Ooof, welcome to K-bike ownership. While a very good basic design, they are reaching a point in aging where they are beginning to become very difficult to keep on the road without throwing thousands in parts at them. Hopefully your journey has been a little less expensive than mine...

Fascinating engines, but the music is drowning out the sound of it firing/not firing. Always had a sneaking admiration for the Beemers.

Sounds like the fuel pump.

Well done for getting it back on the road! The US versions had less power than the UK version (75 BHP). A very quick and easy power boost is to fit EV14 injectors. The popping on the overrun is common, mostly because the mixture is very weak (lean). The EV14s produce a finer spray pattern and deliver a bit more fuel.

Looks like my Mesa. Has the same name as my male. What a precious pup.❤❤❤

Now you have one more job to do, grease those splines on driveshaft, clutch and rear wheel..

i wonder how many people will get the BMW K75 fuel pump reference. overall it looks good for 40+ years old.

Are you selling the van

Turn the lights off while trying to start it……battery will last longer……

Music is so annoying……..

Beautiful

Ouch, hope you got her running.

Just flicking through RUclips, came across your video. Back in the dim and distant past I bought a well used and abuse BMW k75s as a ride to work hack. Did 46k miles in 2 years not sure what original mileage was as speedo sensor in rear hub was not working. Change oil , replaced worn tyres , brake pads , I called it the cactus as it seemed to thrive on neglect... of the 60 or so bikes I've owned since 1980. I'd put the k75s in in top 5.

Been there - done that. I scraped the yummy gummy with my fingernails out of the gastank🤮
