Gday all..... Ive had my k for about 5 years. I rode it daily to work for while (100k round trip), but work circumstances have changed and I have'nt ridin much lately at all. Its due for some maintanance and is starting to look a little neglected. This site looks like a great source of both imformation and motivation, both of which, I'll need in bucket loads...... because I'm not very good mechanically and also pretty lazy.
Looking forward to milking you all for k-bike knowledge and hopefully share a few laughs.
Paul.

G'day 73 welcome to the forums . You have definitely come to the right place for information

cheers Tony

Welcome aboard 73. You've got lots of members nearby to help you out... with the occasional gem of wisdom from the northern hemisphere.

Welcome 73MOH (I had a mo in 73 as well).
put it this way, I have done things with this bike that I would never have dreamed of doing, all because knowing I can jump on this forum and ask if it gets too hard, and no one ever whinges about my stupid questions. (except Blakey, he's a bit titchy about spelling).
At the moment my back wheel is off and I am working up the courage to pull the final drive thingy off to check the lube.
At least you would be familiar with all the engine noises after 5 years.
Cheers RT

BTW 73 before you ask any question electrical get some DeOxit (if thats how you spell it ) I'm sure all those boys in Brisvegas have shares in it or maybe been sniffing it it cures everything from migraines to faulty wipers

welome aboard 73 hoping you get your inspiration back mate ...

we get to venture out on weekends pretty much round here usually on sundays , so if your up to it ,,,,just watch the trips threads .

weve got a beuty comming up at the end of october ....in fact were taking extra days off to do it .

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.......
Toto... Deoxit is now on my shopping list.

Welcome to the forum 73. Our Ks need special attention but it is usually repaid with dependability.

And you will find that Blakey isn't that bad with the spelling thing he usually only gets on the horse when someone spells DiOxite incorrectly.

hello 73.. Another QLD K

at K Freak DiOxite hahaha

Hey 73 that avatar looks very much like the peachester range and you aren't scraping anything yet.

I love the peachester range, probably my favourite bit of road........ but the avatar photo was taken on the Springbrook road.

Welcome, even though you are a Queenslander. That state must just have a huge number of closet K owners....all coming out and joining the rest of the nutters on this forum. Do hope that we can all help each other.

Hi and welcome Paul lots of info here.



BIG D

Hi 73MOH good to have you on board. The easiest source for DeoxIT is Jaycar the one to get is the two small bottle kit NS-1436 is their catalogue number, The aerosol kit is too small to be much use.
Regards,
K-BIKE

Paul, Paul, Paul...pay no attention to this lot.
Welcome to the forum and I hope to see you on the road.

Yes DeoxIT (I can depend on you K-BIKE to get it right) is the duck's guts.

That's me on the right?!?

Sorry Blakey, couldn't help myself. Have been sitting back patiently waiting for a bite. I might take up fishing.
