Anyone have any ( serious) about ex Police K100RTs'. One for sale with 110,000 K. Isaac
Check shocks for wear, as there's a lot of weight on them. If you have *any* difficulty changing down gears, walk away. Ask if the drive splines have been serviced at least every tyre change. The odo says 110k, but the early Ks have a bit of a problem with water ingress in the instrument cluster which causes the odo to intermittently stop and start. A bike that says 110k could easily have done a whole lot more. The one good thing about the ex-police bikes is they have massive amounts of road presence. - sanbar (of the borrowed K1200 GT)
No, road "presence" as in "**** me that's a big bike, maybe I shouldn't forget about using the indicator and drop in on its lane while applying my lipstick and running 10 minutes late for work". HTH - sanbar (now not wanting to give the K1200 GT back)
And seeing as K100RT/LTs have not been made since about '92 and 110,000kms is not alot (if the speedo is telling the truth). Has the bike been laying about for a few years, or has it been used regularly?. Not unusual for the fuel rail to corrode inside and the fuel hoses to decay a bit on a bike that hasn't been ridden for a longtime, all the shit can block the injectors when you start riding again. If that's the case a full fuel system cleanout is a good idea. Al
seems 2 have been left out in sun N rain BUT serviced regularly. Started instantly and settled down to nice idle. Only asking $1250. which IMHO is not a lot of $. Isaac
