89 K75 clutch problem?
Hey Guys,
I'm not much of a motorcycle mechanic so bare with me. Ok, I have an 89 K75 with 27000 miles on her. I've had it for about a year or so and have only had elecrical problems with it so far (bad connectors). The guy who sold it to me said the previous owner before him had lubricated the clutch splines right before selling it to him, and that he had only had it a couple months. So I figured I had a while until I would have to relube. Weather that has anything to do with my problem I'm not sure. That's were you guys come in. Anyway, here is what happened. I was cruising along at about 35mph when all of the sudden there was a terrible mechanical racket coming from the engine trany area. Obviously I pulled over to check it out. I shut the bike off and let it sit for a minute. When I restarted it it idiled fine, but as soon as I squeezed the clutch it made the same horrible sound.
So that's it. Is it the dreaded clutch splines? If, so what next?
Thanks,
Joey
