Hey everyone-
Just want to introduce myself- My name's Vito, I'm living here in beautiful Northern CA. I'm new to the MOA, but I've been riding off and on for the past 6 years. I've got a mystic red '93 K75S (seems to be a popular choice) with 40,000 mi and I've just really gotten into wrenching in the past year. It's weird, the more I wrench and understand the machine, the more I enjoy riding. Anyways, I've checked into this site for some time now, and enjoy reading the posts. There is a ton of great information out here for owners, especially on the K-Bike Tech pages- , they are a tremendous help- thx everyone who has contributed.
Looks like I've had some of the same issues as everyone. Six months ago I had difficulty downshifting, had the clutch splines done by the dealer and it made a huge difference. I just did the rear splines with the Honda Moly, no problems. Another common theme, if my battery isn't perfect, the ABS likes to fault on low voltage- that's a nuisance. Separate issue, I'm replacing the Front master cylinder next week (due to my own neglect on the fluid), just built the fancy ACE hardware pressure bleeder from the instructions. I'll be checking the steering bearings shortly, and doing the fuel filter. Anyways, nice to meet you all and look forward to learning some more! -V
