Dave from Sydney Australia.
Bought my K75 about a year ago, with plans to fix it up as a covid project. I'm pretty new to bikes, only doing general maintenance on my current daily, a 1981 Kawasaki KZ750. I've wanted to do a project bike for a long while now, and decided on the K series a few years ago when I first saw some being done with the twisted brothers seat. Loving these forums and the wealth of knowledge shared, I swear I wouldn't be able to do a fraction of what I have without them.
Bought the bike cheap with an undiagnosed driveline problem, previous owner said it just went bang and he's never had the time to fix it. I assumed it was the splines, but ended up getting to the clutch before I found the problem, splines were actually in really good condition everywhere. Have done the rear main seal while I was in there, and trying to address as much as I can as I put it back together, which it definitely needs. It seems like there's an issue with everything on this bike, but I'm learning a lot, and enjoying getting my hands dirty.
Currently dealing with the clutch pushrod seal, so I'll be hitting up the forums for help soon...
