[dsn_klr650] leaking drain plug

[Mark]

I too have Emgo guards on my A2. They're almost exactly like the Rally Brush model. I paid $25 locally. They've taken a pretty good beating and held up. Mark B2 (with genuine Rally Brush, $44.00 at mxsouth.com) A2 At 9:48 PM -0600 6/22/2000, Dennis Angus wrote:

Mark Do your Emgo guards have the aluminum strap and expansion hardware like the Acerbis Rally Pros? When I said they are like the Acerbis Rally Pro's I meant exaxtly, except the shape is a little different. They mounted easily.

Hey, why not? Non-stick frying pans are Teflon coated. Dig this: The plug hole on my XR75 is stripped and I haven't gotten around to fixing it. I wanted to run it though, so on Sunday I decided to try Teflon tape on a spark plug. The bike ran great and I ran it for over an hour in the yard and the Teflon held up. Combustion camber temps on a slow moving air-cooled bike are probably hotter than the oil sump on a KLR. Mark B2 A2
