Found my receipt, but only has the bearing number on it. Here are the pics of the box numbers which may be what you are looking for. The first is the carrier bearing followed by the rear wheel and then front bearing.

Thanks. The front FAG bearing is available on Amazon!

Nick, Shoot me a PM when you have it ready for a ride. I would like to get at least one longish ride on the 750F before it gets to cold and a trip up to Wisconsin and back would be perfect.

I will Danny. I'm really hoping the new fork seals come in tomorrow. If they do. Hopefully it will be put back together by Saturday.

The local Dainese store in Chicago is hosting a group ride up into Wisconsin on Saturday, but from what I can see the weather is not going to cooperate.

I would be up for a ride the weekend after this one. By that time the trees in Southern WI should be in full Fall color mode.

I would think about coming over to ride with you guys

Sean the weather is suppose to be just awful till Thursday here. If the projected forecast changes for the following weekend, a ride may be possible. As of right now the bike won't be on the road due to the idle jet breaking off inside the carb body. I'm going to see if it can be easy out however there is nothing to grab onto.

damn, that is a real pita...turns out I have to work Saturday anyway. Trying to plan a ride in advance is dicey this time of year. I saved some vacation for sneaking in that last good weather trip before winter sets in but I have pretty heavy work obligations for the next couple weeks.

I was able to remove the broken jet without causing damage. Now back to cleaning the carbs!

Lol, I was wondering what the peanut butter comment meant. That's my step dad's work bench.

Quick update. The carbs are syncd, timing is on point, valves done. I was able to take it for a spin today. Smooth riding however there is an oil leak. I think it may be from the bottom cylinder gasket. Other then that she is running smooth.

I like your garage floor. Polished concrete or sealed?

That's a fantastic looking K0!

Nice job Tews! Was wondering how long it would take you to get it back together?! Ha

dhall57 · « **Reply #63 on:** October 27, 2018, 02:36:33 PM »

KO looks good out on the road Tews. How bad is the leak, Hope it's just a little seepage like a lot of these sohc4 750's have.

It's not bad. However when it comes to small things like this, i'm anal. If I don't find cases for the number on my frame, I'll do a tear down.

Wow! Very nice bike!

Tews we got KO twins. She is looking great on the road.

Tews19 · « **Reply #67 on:** November 04, 2018, 09:30:23 AM »

Time to take the engine out and do some sorcery....
This is how she sits at the moment. I found a stamped engine that is within 1k of my vin. The plan is to swap the head and call it a day. Depending how the tear down goes, I may swap the cylinders and pistons but I'm hoping not to go that far.

The K0 often leaks oil near the shifter because there was no rubber plug in the countershaft oil feed passage, as was found in the later bikes. BUT - the plug fits, if you can find one, and stops the leak while improving the oil direction to the shaft!

Hey Mark, it's not leaking near the shifter. Its under cylinder 4 where the cases mate w the cylinders. Just an awful leak where I couldn't let it be.

Don R · « **Reply #70 on:** November 04, 2018, 06:54:12 PM »

Some of the early ones used 450 fork seals, mine did. This looks like an awesome find, it was taken care of better than what I usually turn up.

I haven't seen one leak there before? Sometimes I see 'leaks' by cylinder #1 base, but it is actually caused by weeping from the cam chain tensioner that creeps along the base gasket and just shows up there, instead.

Progress!!! I tried the jig HACKOFTHEWEEK made and that was an epic fail. I had to wait for my 2 boys to get home today to remove and install the proper K0 engine into my bike. I figured it would be smart to see how the proper engine runs before I tear it down. Tomorrow hopefully I can hear it run.

I run a lifting strap under the case between the points cover and clutch cover then under and back up in front of the dyno and over the starter pocket. Then I take one end through the loop on the strap to choke it up tight, I use my light duty chain hoist and lift from the right side, It usually lifts pretty level and is easy to handle by myself.

Tews19 · « **Reply #74 on:** December 03, 2018, 06:50:15 PM »

I made some time today to tackle tearing down the proper numbered case engine for my K0. Hopefully I can free up some time tomorrow to split the cases and have them cleaned up. This may sound dumb, but am I able to reuse the piston clips or is it better to replace them?
