Former K75RT

[ncpierce]

I have recently purchase a K75 - it used to be an RT but the previous owner removed the fairing. I have bought the rad surround of a K75C which according to Motorworks website "bodywork for the K75C, worth considering if you are removing an S or RT fairing" but have found that it will not fit round the radiator. Was the RT rad a different size to the rest of the K75 bikes or does it mean that I have had a different rad fitted?

Many thanks

RT had the same rad as the K100. It is also mounted further forward than the non-RT K75 variants. The tank is also same as K100 series.

Thanks for that. Looks like I have been sold the wrong part. Will the K100 rad surround fit?

Quick question...

I get a funny high pitched whistling noise when the bike goes left, even if I just shift my body weight, any ideas?

Don't mean to sound like a smart arse, but could it be wind hitting your helmet?

K75 tank is slightly smaller than the K100 but don't know if that's your problem. Maybe a check of the part numbers would show a difference between the two?
Ignore the smart arse( Hi Steve! )
Could be the fuel pump in the tank. It sits on the left side of the tank and can be a noisy bugger.

Its definitely not the wind on the helmet as it does it not matter if I am looking to the side or straight ahead. My thought is rear brake???? There is no play in the final drive bearings or anything else that I can find....

I will have a look at fuel pump.
