klr starter disaster
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2001 3:59 pm
Well, I bought this KLR600 for the motor to power a project buggy.
Turns out the starter is toast!!!!! The starter turns fine but the
drive gear and one idler gear is stripped!!!`:(( Does anyone have a
parts bike or know someone that has a starter for sale? Looks like
the gear is part of the rotor. Anywhere to get a new rotor? Kaw. OEM
is out of the question!(cost) I'm thinking maybe I should have bought
a bike that ran and spent more to get more. The more I find out about
this "thumper" the more I like it. I was told that the '85's were
recalled by TEAM GREEN cause of starter problems. Anyone know
anything about this? I selected this motor because of it's specs.
single cylinder, lots of grunt, water cooled, electric start(Yeh,
right!!!) Where a good place to buy a manual?
Thanks for the info,
Ron
