As I was busy for the last year doing major renovation on my house, I didn't have too much time to work on the bikes (or ride).
Today, I finally decided to tackle replacing the gear box on the K75.
First the job starts with a good cleaning of the used gear box. After removing the clutch mechanism, I discovered that the piston pushing the clutch push rod was scored and didn't move freely. This maybe the problem of people experiencing a heavy clutch lever.
I am posting these pictures just as a reminder of the procedure. It took only 2 1/2 hours to get to this stage. and this is a very easy job.(notice the high tech support on the back of the bike).
Before removing anything, I always be sure to have the clutch lever tied to avoid tearing off the boot on the clutch mechanism as well as having a support under the swing arm to protect tearing off the front boot on the gearbox when pulling the shaft and the swing arm.
At the end, the gear box is off and this is all the tools that I used for the job. Notice that I have only 8 screws laying on the ground as when I remove something, I always put the screws back to where they belong.
Now the kicker..... Don't tell my wife that she cannot furnish the new spare bedroom that I just finished building because....... I am temporarily storing my bike's part there. By the way, notice the 3M reflective tape on the saddle bags and the strips on the top case? This is black in daytime but really glows with the camera's flash.
To be continued.....
