Man. I did it. I put it all back together and it's like riding a brand new K75. More power than it's ever had. Phew. Not bad for someone who can barely tell you the names of the tools that he uses eh?

I'm not too put out by opening up the transmission. At least I got to see how it works, pretty neat little batch of gizmos. Complicated beyond what I thought but I appreciated having a look in. All th ...

I also had a strange spring fall off from the back of the bike near where the rear brake lever is, it isn't the rear brake spring (which is smaller than the one that fell off), any ideas?

This sca ...

Took me about an hour to get some of the bolts out that held the clutch assembly together. Ended up having to drill them out. I'm worried that my markings for alignment aren't going to be good enough, ...

And while you're at it, replace the clutch nut O-ring. Cheap part, easy to replace while you're in there and good "insurance."

My clutch page in the tech stickies has a step-by-step for ...

Man. I've just got a bad case of hubris is all. I don't know half the names of the tools that I am using, I just have this dumb confidence and method that makes me charge in there. Usually it comes ou ...

Starter motor? Take it out, clean it, look at the brushes.

Checked, can't really tell. There's a bit of oil on the pushrod but around where I believe the seal to be, there doesn't seem to be a lot of oil. Should I just replace both seals?

Alright, so: oily fingers on a macbook.

Opened up the transmission and the clutch. Clutch has a bunch of oil in it and so does the transmission. I can't tell where a seal would have gone but it do ...

Anybody have any further thoughts on this?

Don't know about the starter but could you please enlighten us about the final drive issue.
There are two splines ( infact 3 ) on the final drive.

Hi guys,

So I started taking apart the bike today. Got about three quarters of the way to the clutch before the sun set.

A few things that I noticed that I am looking for council on: the starte ...

Okay. Well, I guess I'll have to open it up. Any tips for what to look for? I won't have much of an idea. Could you clarify by what you mean by "glazing the clutch"? Thanks.

Quite confused. Went to buy another cable today and the shop was out. So I monkeyed with the lever some more. When I back the cable all the way out of the lever and make the clutch really stiff, the b ...

Adjusting the clutch cable didn't do much. Reason that I think it's something more structural is because the power only kicks in a few seconds after the clutch has been fully released -- my revvs are ...

Hi guys,

Just returned from a 2600 mile trip (that I did in two days) and am having some trouble now.

The power doesn't come on until well after I've let go of the clutch. It makes the bike comp ...

BMW dealer wants $80 for a new thermostat. Any restrictions on thermostats? Can I use one from another K-Brick? A 1995?

Eesh. This bike seems to have come with its fair set of problems. Not disgruntled, but a little disillusioned. At least the engine is good (despite its popping and the occasional back fire -- that's g ...

It seems like something no one has really done; It's hard to find anyone whose put clips or clubmans on a K75. And yet I really don't think the K75 is all that far from classic styling. I think it par ...
