Hey Giorgio! Sounds like you could use some FAQs! http://www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html The counter shaft sprocket can be quite tight to get off the first time, but doesn't involve any real problems other than figuring which way the aftermarket goes back on. One of the great things about the KLR is the support from all the Gurus on the various sites like this one and many great procedures available, like on the FAQs site. Cheers and welcome to the World of the Mighty KLR! Rod,,,Thinkin Giorgio is one step ahead by not wanting the dealer to touch the bike... --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "Giorgio Trucco" wrote:

You are now a KLR owner. Repeat after me: BEER and pizza. Pizza and BEER! If you can't find someone to help you out, I have a VHS that steps through the valve change procedure, which you are welcome to have. Just let me know and I'll mail it to you. Personally, I didn't use it. I followed the Clymer procedure. If you don't have a manual, that's the first thing I would suggest. Equipped with the Clymer manual, I doubt you'll need any help. I didn't and I'm no mechanical whiz. Randy

Hi Giorgio When I first got my A17, I took it down to the Julain tech session. There we did my first 500 mile service. It was great. We did the valves, doohickey, oil and filter, sub frame kit etc. Most fun I had in along time. The next tech session is Nov 13. You will want to buy your parts from Fred beforehand and you would want to stay in Julian the night before so that the bike will be cold in the AM. I just coasted mine down the hill from the Julian Lodge to the fire station. HTH Randy from Burbank --- Giorgio Trucco wrote:

Wow... This is great! I didn't think I'd ever find another club where guys are as generous with their time and knowledge as my 4x4 club is... Kudos to you guys!!! ~Eric S. ps- I'm ONE of those guys in that club, so it's nice to be on the 'dummy' side here... ; )

The tech sessions are locations selected to allow the KLR Gurus a place to gather the maximum number of KLR novices in a given area to help with various service and repair issues, like valve and doohicky substrate.

It looks like this is exactly what I need! Any on-line source of information about the one going on in Julian, November 13? Thanks for the info.
