If you have a low mileage, older KLR feel safe with the top four parts on the balancer side and the four clutch parts on the clutch side. On a high mileage older model, you would probably have to replace the needle bearing and idler shaft and possibly the idler sprocket with new, old style parts if you cannot machine the case. Good question.
