So sunday I went for a 140 mile loop and on Monday I decided to
change oil, lube chain, and adjust the balancer assembly.
I lean the bike to the left and remove the cover to watch the part do
it's stuff when I loosen the bolt. I do, it doesn't. I lightly probe
the "slot" with a probe and I can swing it through both ends of it's
range. I can also see a spring slightly below and foward of the
adjusting bolt, don't think it lives there.
I say to myself I do believe it's broken, 5800 miles, no strange
noises, no extra vibes. I wonder how long it's been this way but who
knows.
I call Fred and order everything, except for the rotor puller tool,
any suggestions on how to yank it out so I fix my poor girl, or any
pullers for sale, loan, or rent.
Also I have seen some nice photos of this assembly with the rotor
removed, I don't remember who posted them or where, but they were
much better than the ink blots in the manual(s), any help?

Wishing I edited this before posting - I leaned to the right not the
left, under a lot of stress I guess.

Great pics!! Thanks man.. That helps clear up the sloppy mental image I had
before...
How much trouble was it to put the new doohickey on? Or, have you already
posted that info?

One the rotor is off, you just slide it on. The difficult part is the
cover removal and re-installation (made easier when the bike is leaning to
the right).

I have a question... Why is it easier when leaning the bike??? What is the
purpose of leaning the bike?

I'm wondering if anyone would like to trade their KLR650 for a '99
Triumph Thunderbird.
The tbird has approx 3800 miles on it. It's 900cc. Saddlebags
included. Excellent condition. I'm looking for $5,900.
If interested please email me at LBank84@...
