K Model

[Jimbob]

Hey can someone please explain to me how the K models work like how do you know what K model you have? Thanks

[rayshon]

there are only E and F models

if you are refering to GS500FK4 for example, then the K only indicates the year it was made

for example, FK4 means 2004, K5 means 2005, and so on

Remember Y2K? It stood for Year Two Thousand.

In money terms $4k is Four Thousand.

The "K" in a motorcycle sense also stands for Thousand. The Two is taken for granted. So a K9 is a 2009, for example.

Tom Baker. Notice, he never carries a weapon and he never seemed to need one - until - he had Leela and K9 and suddenly it was good they had weapons (her knife and she wanted to knife everyone and K9's front laser thingy).

K9 Mark II with Romana II

I think the OP means when you order a part, you have options that sometimes has the K.  Somebody told me what it meant, but I can't recall.  For example (from cheapcycleparts):

SEPARATOR, OIL BREATHER
NOTE: ; MODEL K/L/M/N/P
