KLR - Keep Locktite Ready.
Yes, it was common for the steering head bearings on the KLRs to get loose after a few thousand. If they get checked/adjusted after a little while, they'll be fine. I replaced mine at 6k; The races were slightly peened.
I'll see if I can find a part number.
The drive shaft leaking oil was also a known issue if the chain was run too tight. I think the slack should be 2-2.4" unloaded, if my senile brain remembers right. Or if on the side stand, "almost touching the swingarm with your boot raising the chain" is close enough.
Hell, you two are having an ADVenture!
She got a sister? |
