I'm going to keep the doohickey poll up at
http://www.ironjungle.com/
for a week or so longer.
However, I'm gettting a lot of suggestions/comments suggesting I
should have different answers (or maybe even a different question).
Let me know if you have a suggestion (post it to the list) and I'll
consider it when we modify the poll.
So far, I would suggest that that the doohickey data tells us the
problem is more in the mind of the owner that an actual problem. Of
course I know the poll has errors, etc. but most bike are listed
as 'no trouble found' by a large margin.

I agree with Jake. I worked on three, 2002, KLRs all under 4000
miles. We replaced the doohickeys on all three bikes. The factory
doohickeys were all intact but on two of the bikes the springs were
broken. Jake's doohickeys are worth every penny and I would
recommend it to anyone.
