I just finished putting the head back on my KLR and tightening
everything down. It starts, it runs, no coolant or oil leaks - woo
hoo! Now I just have to tighten down the head bolts again once it
cools and I'm good to go.
BTW, After initial reassembly the temp guage never breaks the halfway
point. It used to go to the 3/4 point in a jiffy. I used distilled
water and 6-7 capfulls of Water Wetter for coolant. Of course, I did
just switch to a synthetic blend oil and that probably lowers
friction, etc..
Keep on truckin'.

Let us know how the temp gauge reads when your sitting at a stop
light in 100 F. days?. My KLR wont hit the 1/2 way mark as long as Im
moving, regardless of the outside temp. But as soon as I stop for
more then about 2 miniutes the gauge hit's 3/4 and the fan kicks in.
You should also check your coolant (WaterWetter & Water) often to see
if it's doing a good job of fighting corrosion in the block and let
us know what happens.

I use this stuff from REI that you rub on like a lotion. It dries to
a power, then you buff it off. A near lifetime supply is $5 (I
think) and it works great.
