Best way is the old tried and true of hot soapy water, wring dry in a bath towel, Re-oil ( I use just plain old motor oil seems like forever ha ha ha ) , wring it out with another Towel, reinstall. -- Best Regards & Happy Trails Andy Chesley @ 57 and ticking Y2KLR650 @ 6.4K sMiles 97 R11RA (Amiga) @ 16K Miles So Many Roads, So Little Time http://members.deltech.net/aches/

Sure! With the Gerbing jacket, gloves and socks that I use on another bike too along witht the basic on/off rocker switch I can ride in warmth on the KLR. Surprisingly the bike handles this load OK on the short trips I have done with no adverse effects on ability of the battery to start/turn the bike over after a stop. Not sure if a long trip would be different. I do switch the electric warmth off at low rpm situations and usually have to cycle it anyway as it is too warm to have it on all the time.
