[dsn_klr650] next greatest 'weak link'
Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2000 9:38 pm
by 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)

[dsn_klr650] next greatest 'weak link'
Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2000 10:17 pm
by Robert Morgan
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.
