Folks
Johnnyalpha is having problems signing in right now
so I'm putting this up on his behalf as he's struggling with his K75 at the mo'
---------------------------------------------------------
Good evening Folks,
I have recently been experiencing what feesl like a bit of
clutch slip, especially in higher gears on acceleration/loading.
The bike is 1988 machine, with 90K miles on the clocks. I have only had the
machine for about 15 months or so, I don't know much about the history of the
bike ,as I bought it from a dealer, who had taken it in as a part exchange.
Now, tonight I have unscrewed the clutch push rod, the threaded rod at the rear
of the bike with a 10mm head and a 13mm locknut.
There was a leak of transmission oil from the back of the rubber bellows, defo
transmission oil, smelt like one of Satans sulphurous farts :0(
Now, I take it that is NOT meant to happen?, the leak I mean.
Any ideas would be most welcomed.
The symptoms occured pretty much overnight, beforehand it had been excellent and
pulled like a train.
I am a novice when it comes to the K75 , so simple instructions/explanations
would be best :0)
I thank you all in advance
Ride safe Johnny (Edinburgh Scotland)
