Why a 98/99, I'm just not that enthusiastic about the GI Joe army
green ones and since not much has changed between 96-2002 I guess I'm
going for color. Wasn't 98/99 the blue/green years? Please contact me
if you have one for sale in the NW.
Thanks, Barry--Seattle.

See the timeline for all the great KLR colors

96-99 = blue.

Barry,
IIRC, the green color your looking for started with the 2000.

torqueing jake's nut

Well, I was changing the sprockets the other day( the 12th time since
getting Jakes nut), and after starting it fingertight(got to the diff
threads), I put the wrench on to get it on. About half way in, it
got a little hard to turn. Not wanting any trouble, I tried backing
it off, got really hard to turn. Finally got it off, and there were
the threads in it. DRAT!@! I am guessing it was operator error,
since I hadn't had any trouble in the past. I wasn't able to save
the threads(90% were in the nut), so I had to file down the damaged
area, I still have enough threads to get the stock nut/washer on and
have them seat. Now, I am SOL if I have any other mishaps. I guess
I'll have to hope this holds out for a year or so, then I'll try to
find a 1st and 2nd gear from a 600 and replace them since I'll be
splitting her for surgery.
