I have a K6, for better or worse, here are the symptoms of the engine that I am aware of
first gear jumps out under load, ( I understand the dreaded detent roller is normally associated with 2nd gear, and its a k6 did they have that issue fixed by the K6's )
I dont have the same exhaust pressure on each side, stronger on right side from the rear of the bike. I have not done a compression test. Was told the engine has 9500 miles on it when I bought it, I have put 600 on it since then.
I have a stripped valve cover bolt, not really a big deal I know, but combine all these things is this engine worth saving or should I shop around for a k7 and hope to get lucky.
Brave or stupid this is my first bike, I dont have a shop so working on it myself would be a huge stretch.....
