[dsn_klr650] elden carl's balancer shaft adjustment procedure

[Robert Morgan]

I don't like the fact that the balancer adjustment lever is not held on its shaft by a snap-ring. I'll try to find a way to fix that so that the balancer adjuster bolt does not have to hold the lever in place. Other than that I feel the engine is very reliable. (good question there Slide)

I talked to Tim the other day and I am going to call him in the morning but I don't think it "locked up". Jim Bellach's bike locked up but Kurt Grife's bike did not. Kurt was going rather slow at the time.
