One year of ownership report

[67charger]

I have now been a proud k75 owner for 1 year and 13000 miles. Only problem was the starter relay stuck a few times when I first rode it. All I did was clean the contacts and figured it was pulling too many amps when started in neutral with clutch out. So I started pulling the clutch in and it never stuck again.  I changed all rubber lines and fluids to ensure they were up to par. Added a russell seat and risers to the bars. Splines all look like new with 44000 miles on them. I wore out 2 rear tires and one front (first set were Continentals but switched to Shinko 712's...love them).Also I switched out all the brakes for the cheapo Volar pads (15 dollars for the whole set w/free shipping)  , they work great and are easier on the rotors. Of all the motorcycles I have owned and ridden this is the only one I can sit on all day for several hundred miles with no cramps or butthurt.  I can't think of any other motorcycle that would do everything as well as this bike does. And it's 23 years old!!!

  :clap:  Had mine 18 years and I want it buried with me, most reliable bike I've ever owned.

Yeah, the 75, especially the RT is a sweet mile muncher.  I have mine set up pretty much the same as yours with Shinkos, Russell and the Volar pads.  I can, and have ridden mine all day.  600+ mile days are a piece of cake on these bikes. 

It's surprising how a bike that is so comfortable still handles so well.
