maintenance is good!
nice thread title...
Title just slightly modified... :2thumbup:
Based on what I found a K75 with good maintenance will probably need a refresh near the 75K mark.
Probably not to the extent of my work but for those that are monitoring, I found the following are in need of inspection...
- if leaking, the clutch o-ring and/or the rear main seal
- water pump seal if leaking (mine was a few years ago)
- fuel line to fuel pump regulator (mine had cracking at the bends)
- fuel pump regulator vacuum line (mine was very stiff and not pliable at the FPR)
- starter cleaning (easily done and prevents future issues)
- valve check (remember that Yamaha and Kawasaki both use 29mm shims too)
- cooling fan (mine worked OK but I found it squeaking after removal)
- odometer gears will probably fail sooner or later
- fuel injectors (Mr. Injector will flow check and clean for a very reasonable price)
- check fuel pump damper (mine was OK)
- brake lines (they can deteriorate internally and Spiegler makes a great SS set)
This also includes the mandatory spline lube which is part of every rear tire change and along with regular oil/filter, coolant and brake fluid flushes makes for a happy Motobrick.
While all of the items were probably not necessary, it can only contribute to my many trouble-free K-bike miles.
