Exciting things are coming soon!
Stay tuned, Chris - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Hi Chris,
had the same corroded fuel-pump in my K75RT which I bought years ago for a very low price.
The bike was left 5 years without running in the garage. Since change of fuel pump (replacement pump was 45€) its running very reliable so I already made some tours to the alps (France/Italy/Slovenia).
We (my friend and me) are following your channel since we bought a dutch police-bike K75RT (for 800 €) having a mileage of 150.000 km. Yes, it was a bit "incontinent"(=leaking) as old ladys do sometimes, but who cares...
We made full replacement of all wearparts and the bike is running since today.
Meanwhile I have added to my K75RT a R80RT, K1100LT and a R1100GS to my fleet while my friend has added to his K75RT a K1100RS (in beautiful light blue metallic) into his garage.
We both appreciate your "pragmatism"/your stile/your comments during watching your videos. Most amazing story: the "siliconed" ring at the clutch..what a laugh!)
And we fully agree: repairing, maintaining and driving BMW (old Boxer and K-models) is not only making fun..it´s a bit of "way of living"!
Thanks for this and all videos published ever.
Kindest Regards from Germany!
Dietmar and Holger
That is a real shame. Too bad that the owner didn't want you to fix it. But this shows how bad gasohol is for these bikes. I make sure that the last 2 fill ups before winter is with non-alcohol gasoline. My '92 K100RS appreciates it!
If a fuel pump and tires was all it needed I’d buy it. Would commute happily everyday all year on that bike.
When they get that old and if they have not been used or worked on they usually need a lot of hoses and things made of rubber, even brake lines for starts. Even the plastic rear brake reservoir may become brittle. Might be lots of hoses and stuff, but still may be worth doing. The classic K bikes can be quite dependable. Looks good in black I think.
Had a customer who had one of these.Bike waas parked for around 10 years,it changed color on one side from the sun.I replaced fuel pump,lines,plug and oil,and she started right up idling perfect.Oh,she also hal 297000km on the speedo
Such a shame, hope this K75 finds a new home and get back to her former beauty. Best of the K bikes 👍🏻
Why do people waste your precious time if they're not getting such a beautiful vehicle back on the road it's a life experience to have such a vehicle
Mechanics don’t “waste their time”. Most charge a diagnostic fee of $75-125 to check out a bike whether or not you get it fixed. Quick easy money to open the gas cap and see a rusted out fuel pump.
An aftermarket pump, cheap as chips. get you back on the road.
Chris, great to see a K75 repair video after such a long time! More, more!!
seller saw this poor guy comming ! Yikes $500 max.
Good work Chris. Keep up the excellent videos.
What a shame to owner couldn't cough up a small amount for a new fuel pump. That's a low mileage bike with excellent compression - lots of life left in it.
Over $400 for a fuel pump plus tires and labor on a bike if it ran is worth maybe $1500 is a hard choice.
@@edwardjones8170 plus replacing the fuel filter and fuel lines, cleaning put the gas tank and fixing leak. Wouldn’t be surprised if fuel injectors gummed up or blocked by rust. Once you get it running there will be another $400 repair every month. For $2000 you can buy a newer K75 that actually runs
It's heartbreaking to see this. It's nothing more than abuse😢😞
Practically new motorcycle. Fuel pump doesn't cost a cow, i got new one for 60 euros in UK. What a waste of motorcycle..
Where did you get it from? Even the aftermarket ones on Beemer Boneyard are $200+
Hola Chris, buen video, la máquina estaba botada!
Got a new fuel pump ready with the filter to go in my K75.......I suspect gradual loss of fuel pressure leading to loss of power above about 4000 rpm. Also got new injectors and spare EFI brain . Also may have to change the ignition Hall sensors.........I am still after one of those headlight fairings on the bike in the video.
1:02 well at least you have a free lunch out of the deal! 😂
That poor bike!
The best laid plans of mice and men....
Great vid, thorough troubleshooting.
I'm thinking send out the gas tank for repair and relining , after market fuel pump and new hoses. Think would fix that. It would be worth working a little over time to come up the the repair money. Oh I forgot, there are no jobs.
There will be something to fix every 200 miles on that neglected rust bucket. Previous owner murdered it
Wow. Hard to believe anyone would buy a bike and not clean it up as a first step.
Even harder to believe they’d buy a bike without starting it up. Guess they never heard of a “test drive”. Sounds fishy
"it ran last year" is right up there with "I'll pull out".
Love your videos brother.
👍🏻 Shame you dident get the chance to fix it.
the most important question for me, what caused the death of the mouse.....indeed I know there was a mouse living in my Moto Guzzi, but she survived.....love that video!!!!
We are waiting to read repair price list
I used a pump from a 90s Ford Thunderbird for my 85 k100rt. It wasn't a perfect fit so I had to rig it with some fuel line and a hose clamp to get it to work. A shop wouldn't do work like this but I got the bike on the road. The OEM pump is 4 or 5 times the cost of the pump I got at NAPA.
That'll work too but there's an alternative to the OEM: www.beemerboneyard.com/fupufupuki.html
@@ChrisR.Harris My right pinky and toes would go numb on that bike so i finally got rid of it. The K75 was much better. I still find myself trolling thru craigslist for one.
Have you ever repaired the studs on the tank at the fuel pump plate, on GS?
Chris wondering how hard to change handle bars on the bike your working on in clip I have an 1150 boxer and need the handlebars raised
Darn shame, new pump/tyres and would be a cracking bike, shame :(
Nothing wrong here that a decent shade tree mechanic cannot fix. However, if you have a caviar appetite and tuna budget....you better not plan on paying a professional mechanic to fix up a beater. Waste of $250 worth of time. If you found these problems yourself... you could have spent the $150 on an after market or used pump, new fluids and plugs, and hired chris to synch the cabs, adjust the valves which wants more skills.
Крутяк👍
Never understood why so many people love these so called low mileage bikes that are 20 years plus old. It means they had stood still for many, many months or even years. If i had to choose between a low mileage bike like this, or one that has many miles more and has had their regular services, i'd go for the one with the high mileage. These bikes are meant to be ridden, not stored inside some barn or something and become a home for mice and all kinds of crap sitting everywhere.
🧑🎓🔧 👏👏👍
Sad to see someone buy a bike not knowing it can be 2K to make it safe to ride. It's a $3500 bike if everything is updated.
Woow woow 😍💋 💝💖❤️
