[dsn_klr650] fork to triple clamp bolt torque spec.//

[Nancy Davis]

Hello to all. I took a 340 mile round trip ride to my BMW club meeting on my three week old A-15. On the way I looked down and saw a lot of white stuff on the right side of the engine. Thought it splashed up off the road some how. After lunch and the meeting, giving it a closer look it was coolent.  Recovery tank did look a little lower than it was when I started but not enough to spoil the after lunch group ride. Everyone liked the KLR and said what great bikes they are.  Next day I checked to find recovery tank cap loose and both hoses upper & lower not pushed on all the way. Added BMW coolent,it really runs cool now.    Long live KLRs Bob Clinton,LA.
