klr engine reliability improvements
Posted: Fri Aug 18, 2000 12:03 pm
DSN'ers,
I've come across scattered postings at the ListQuest archives
regarding the KLR, and particularly pre 96 KLR's engine design
weaknesses (accidents waiting to happen???).
That is, regarding the clutch and balancer chain tensioner.
I'd like to know the complete story on that. Is there any post or
does anyone otherwise know the complete list of user fix-able design
flaws on the KLR??
I'm not talking performance upgrades, aftermarket parts etc.
I'm talking down right poor examples of engineering at the design
level such as the (from what I've read) balancer chain tensioner.
I'd like to do all this stuff BEFORE I put my bike back together, so
I won't have to again for a long time.
Mucho appreciation for any insight,
Jaime.
