The clutches can of course be replaced. It's a bit of effort on the K100 and you'll have to tear down the bike a bit, but if you are a capable home wrencher there is no reason you can't tackle it.

But whenever shorter riders give grief about their seat being too tall I always think of guys like Gaston Rahier, the renowned BMW dakar racer who could barely see over the handlebars! haha. For lowering your bike - either shave the seat, or drop the shock and forks. That's about all you can do. I have an unfair advantage in this department because I’m rather tall.

Those Aprilia Capoonords are awesome too though. They look great when decked out for adventure touring. I’m sure it made the trip just fine. Those Aprilia Capoonords are awesome too though.

They are extremely long lived motors and transmissions. If the bike is absolutely pristine it might be worth $3,500 - but I certainly wouldn't pay that much for one. I have found mine at MUCH cheaper prices. Cheers Hi Jonas,

For Maurice: I'm loving my 85 K bike. I think the price you are getting it for is great, that is about what I paid for mine. I cant offer you any advise on your clutch cable, as I am new to these bikes as well. Good luck and keep the rubber side down.

What can you tell me about this. If I pick it up uner say $ 1600-$2000 is it a good buy? I can handle doing the mechanic work...I hear it is very tricky. Can a new heavy duty clutch or one that is more resilient put in? Please adviseThanks, Maurice I may be purchasing an 1985 K 100 , however, it has ha a history of faulty clutch.

There is a factory recall on the throttle cable and it just started sticking. Now I have to unroll it and its totally stiff. Is this something I can do something about without spending a bunch of money? Thanks, Kevin Hi Evan,
