<< You have to remove the handlebars and then loosen the steering head bearing. (that big ol' nut right under the handlebars). >> You also have to loosen the top set of triple-clamp bolts as you will be pulling the top triple clamp down onto the bearings. Pete the Streak

Hi, Don't you have to loosen the lower clamps too.? Brian A14 D17

Dan, Had a similar thought recently - investigated a little to see just what one would cost kitted out etc - check out some of the posts at the Chain Gang - a whole heap of people waited an entire summer for delivery, only to have BMW freeze sales because of a recall - and wouldn't even explain to their dealers what the problem was! Totally arrogant and zero customer service on their part. The f650 was a marginal seller in the US when it was a decent (but expensive) on-road bike - I think its doomed now that they have had so many problems. Many of the posters had pulled their deposit on this bike which is sitting at the dealers but unable to be 'bought', in search of another bike. Interesting, that some of these listed the KLR as a non-option because it was really 'a dirt bike', or they couldn't abide the color scheme. Interesting what makes some tick.... Rich dan shaw wrote:
