I am still enjoying my honey moon with my 1988 K75. I am also a little intimidated with the bi-annual maintenance that the bike requires. I know the shaft/splines need lube. And unfortunately, it is not just the splines on the clutch that get hurt. The splines on the input shaft to the transmission are also going to need Lube. All this talk points to two options.
1-Send it to the shop, pay a high bill and have my wife nag about the cost.
2-Learn to do it myself. Thsi choice will save my marriage!
I have the books on the maintenance, but I doubt myself with these issues. What I would ask is, if any member of this board in Central Florida would perform this maintenance to their bike, would it be too much to ask if I could be a fly-in-the-wall. If so, I would love to bring my camera and in a non disruptive way, photograph the steps and items. I would gladly make the images available as a QuickTime movie and/or individual pictures of each step as well for the benefit of all of us.
I also don't know many older K-bike owners I Orlando. Do any of the members meet on Thursday night at Steak & Shake, Old Town Kissimmee or hot spot?
Looking forward to meeting more K owners.
