I always worried about what to do if my K broke down when I first started riding it back in 2018.It only happened 3 times.Two times the fuel pump fuse blew.The first time it was an easy fix with a fuse from a gas station,it did the same thing a year later but this time there was actually a problem causing the fuse to blow.I made the 5 miles home on a stronger fuse ,with the help I received here I bought a Fuse circuit tester and discovered the pump was drawing way to many amps.Put in a new pump and now travel with the tester .I had a clutch cable break a week after hitting this really deep pot hole at 70 MPH causing me to go into a tank slapper that damn near got me killed on the Long Island Expressway .I think the bike saved my life that day ,any other bike would have gone down and the idiot riding 3 feet behind me wanting to go 80 would have flattened me out like road kill. I guess all that severe back & forth of the front end stressed the cable 'cause it broke in the middle not on the ends. These were the only break downs I have had in the 20,000 miles I have put on the bike since 2018.She's a very reliable motorcycle and I think this holds true for most K 's . I just carry fuses all the time and a spare fuel pump on long trips .She always made it home on every ride I have gone on thanks to the guidance and knowledge I received here at this great group. So now another season begins.Had her out the other day after a 3 month sleep .Started right up and ran like she was running an hour ago so now I no longer worry about break downs much.
