Side cases are nice. Are there two different sizes since I think mine is about an inch wider than the "regular" k75 case?
I think my tank breather is clogged since it blows off heavily when I open the tank. Are there areas to check?
I am getting 150 miles to 4 gallons of fuel, maybe somebody can let me know if that seems normal.
There is a small leak at the "oil pan",is it a gasket or silicone seal?
There is also a transmission oil leak that is coming out of the clutch housing and I think it is getting on the clutch as well since it feels very "grabby" at times. Usually when I first start riding and it gets better with time.
If I go back in, which parts should I get in advance? I am not really understanding which seal can leak gear oil on the clutch. It should be the "pushrod" seal but open to suggestions. I dont want to go back in there any time soon.
check the crankcase vent hose for cracks. The hose is a black rubber hose about 5/8" in diameter molded in a sort of Z shape. It is located on the left side of the engine just to the rear of the throttlebodies and just to the front of the black plastic coil cover. It's in past the throttlebodies but is visible if you get down on your knees. These are notorious for cracking every couple of years right next to each of the two hose clamps. When they crack, they leak oil mist, but worse, they cause the engine to run lean from unmetered air being sucked in (not good). The hose costs $16 from the dealer and is easy to change, but if it is cracked, it shows he wasn't as on top of maintenance as he had been telling you. Also check the vacuum caps on the base of the forward two throttlebodies for cracks for the same lean mixtur reason.
One huge problem you're going to have is the clutch pushrod on K75s comes out the FRONT of the input shaft. K100s come out the rear. Trying to get the seal out with the pushrod in place will be next to impossible. If you figure out a way, I'd love to hear it.
Like I said, I take the input shaft out of the tranny to change that seal, but that's a whole different can of worms.
If you do get the seal out, remember orient the seal to prevent oil from going forward.
