saw this on ebay. not a bad looking bike, should have left the s fairing. sounds like it needs more than a spline lube.

. . .  sounds like it needs more than a spline lube.

Difficulty downshifting is a symptom of lack of spline lubrication. It's likely any 30-year old K is going to need a little something more than a spline lube. What else do you think is happening?

What's in this bike's favor is that it has been ridden plenty.
