Maintenance
I bought the bike in Feb 2011 from a friend who bought it 2 years earlier. So I’ve known it for 11 years. No damage. I read (but now cannot find the reference) that only 50 copies of this special edition were imported into the USA in 1994. All in this shade of Yellow. Ted Verrill has a great info site on the K75 model years.
If you are serious about bike maintenance, you check the bike before each ride and you do full annual inspections replacing any part not to spec. Here’s an overview, details are in the logs.
Three Maintenance Manuals included (Two Clymer, One Haynes)
Fuel: Replaced rubber housing for pump inside tank. Replaced all fuel lines and fuel filter.
ABS: Replaced control unit.
Engine: Mobil1 Super-Syn, Have Oil Filter tool, Iridium Spark Plugs, coolant flushed regularly
Drive Train: Michelin Pilot Activ tires, Spline lubed, Fork Oil replaced, Rear drive oil replaced
Brakes: Flushed lines regularly, New pads, New master cylinder
New Battery 2016, external socketfor battery charger or maintainer
Odometer: The original BMW gears in the odometer will turn into “oatmeal” at some point. I replaced these with custom made gears from odometergears.com

I pulled the bike from the garage on a 35 deg F afternoon in Feb 2020. Started right up as always.
