That maintainance video is very helpful and interesting. Thank you, Johnny!

The screws are JIS for some reason everyone forgets these are are the most important screwdrivers for modern motorcycles

[@johnnysevengun]

Are you sure about this? JIS means Japanese Industry Standard. My bike has Italian Brembo brakes on a German bike.

[@silktvPDR1]

@@johnnysevengun yep absolutely use them every day 👍

Just bought a K75 in need of some TLC. Enjoying the videos

[@johnnysevengun]

Thanks. I have done quite few on the K75 now.

[@rushtk2112]

Are there any modern/updated brakes we can use on our 75's?

[@johnnysevengun]

Only if you change the front end. The Brembos are still good after 34 years.

[@Xhypersnyper93X]

Are the front and back pads the same?

[@johnnysevengun]

Probably not as they are sold as Front or Rear sets. My 1987 model has a rear drum brake so has a pair of brake shoes instead of pads and a disc.

[@rushtk2112]

Are you saying "hammerite" that you put on it?

[@johnnysevengun]

Yes, Smooth finish Hammerite.

Do You still have the JAG?

[@johnnysevengun]

I gave it to my Dad. He lives next door. I will be working on it soon. The front bushes need changing.
