Is it Castrol Ligui Moly additive? Synthetic? Can't seem to find the Guard Dog gear additive?

Go online and search for guard dog moly

Keith has it right....easy to find....www.guarddogmoly.com

Nice people to deal with. I bought their moly and their additive for the tranny (don't recall the name but they won't steer you wrong). Call 'em!

had a wrenching weekend with a friend. Lubed all splines, cleaned starter and all electrical connections and gave them dielectric grease, changed brake fluid and coolant. Installed new fuel filter and checked airfilter wich was fine. Changed fuel hoses.
Rode 300 km's home and was glad that all my problems with a sticky clutch was gone.

Then suddently this 60 year old Citroen HY came along

Today we did a final drive service and Guard Dog splinectomy. Also cleaned the crap from swing arm, clutch cable and center stand. Cleaned rear caliper and rotor, along with rear wheel detail. Rainy day, can't ride.

Guard dog.

"Nice people to deal with."

Agreed...and they ship to Australia too!

Replaced the johnny's jury rigged clutch cable with the OEM one after 2k miles of service. Also installed the reynolds backrest/rack combo in place of the stock rack.

With the 4K miles I've put on the bike this summer I need to start prepping for the 20K service interval.

Thanks for the links Johnny.

Rode it past the 50k milestone. Can't say it was a fun ride because half of it was in pouring rain and the destination was Immingham docks, possibly the least scenic place in the UK. Whatever, the K75 didn't miss a beat in the 260 mile round trip.

Glacial, nice work, yer ride is just broken in now, it needed the 50k and the rain to shake out all the whatnots

just rolled past 142k (mi) on mine the other day, plenty of miles left on yours to find some sunny twisty fun :)

Took greatly-improved Brick for test ride, did usual route twice. Gearbox definitely improving with every mile, my 3rd gear "crunch" on downshift is GONE. Front end feels planted, brakes GTG, Pete is happy :clap:

Took my '93 k11 to a mechanic. :bang-head: Been running way too hot. Installed new standard thermostat and new antifreeze a while back. No luck. Suddenly developed pretty serious oil leak. Now this is beyond my very limited abilities.

Mechanic installing a cooler 170 degree thermostat to keep it running cooler and replacing the oil/water pump seals in hopes that the oil leak will be resolved. He thinks that's all it will need. Should have it back in a week or two I'm told. Fingers crossed. I really need my brick back!

Fixed the lights, went for a ride. Bled the brakes, went for a ride. Washed and waxed it, re-blacked all the plastic, ordered some parts, went for a ride. :yes

Last week I picked up a good used Remus setup.
Today I installed it on my '97. Sounds about the same, but lighter weight and looks better.

frodef · « **Reply #1641 on:** September 19, 2015, 05:18:39 PM »

Welded back together the bracket for the givi top box, sprayed some paint on it and put it back on. Hopefully it won't fall of again.. :riding: Kids stowed away, daytrip tomorrow :yes

Rode over to orforester's place and did some maintenance on the LT. Stopped at Debs in Alsea for lunch.

mejetski2000 · « **Reply #1643 on:** September 20, 2015, 05:57:32 PM »

More riding, order PIAA H4 Extreme Plus bulb and researched some LED conspicuity options. Leaning towards a Westin 5.5" 5-LED bar to be mounted under the headlight, $50 all in seems reasonable enough. Also ordered some EBC rear pads.

Pulled the head and cleaned the piston faces.

This thing only has 32k miles on the clock; I can't believe how dirty the pistons were. And the exhaust ports?!? Filthy!

Still need to clean the head gasket face on the block, pull the pistons and clean any residual crud from the rings and ring wells.

Please to see the cylinder walls look like they were honed yesterday; simply perfect!

The picture of the exhaust port is priceless, never have seen one that bad !

New Wilber's rear shock mounted and 20 mile test ride performed last pm. Handling difference like day and night. New rear EBC pads and PIAA H4+ showed up today, but haven't installed yet.

Dropped it trying to park it on the side stand. I was really tired and I don't think I got the stand fully extended. There is no stopping these top heavy bitches once they start to go, so I just tried to lay it down gently. :falldown: :musicboohoo:. It popped off the mirror and broke the lock latch for the hard bag on the left side of the bike. :2thumbup: WTF! Scratched the shit out of the case and the mirror. What is the best procedure for popping the mirror back on? It looks like it just snaps back in, albeit forcfully? :hehehe

Tuco · « **Reply #1648 on:** September 22, 2015, 08:58:00 PM »

Just popped one on the other day, popped 'em off to see if the thing would fit through the door. I more pushed the mirror onto the single "button" on top and hit the mirror with my palm to install onto the two lower button head things on the bottom.
