tail section diagram

[scottq60]

Hi All! I've been wanting a KLR650 for awhile now...finally bought one a little over a week ago (on ebay). It's an 87 (does that make it an A1?) with 4885 miles on it, traded in by the original owner at Yamaha of Gastonia (NC). It looks practically new, since the PO garaged it all of its life - no plastic fade and very few scratches. I've ordered new petcock internals to stop the petcock from leaking, and I had to drill out the right side seat bolt that was broken off in the hole. Am having new Metzelers installed next week (original tires still have some tread left, but not much). Am leaning toward installing the Progressive LR front springs and probably a new rear shock eventually. It also seems to be seeping a bit of oil from the right side case where the "clutch arm" (or whatever it's called) sits down in the hole. Anyone experience this? Is it difficult to install a new o-ring or whatever gasket is in there? Thanks! Scott

So old with so few miles, I think you can expect anything made of rubber to be bad, including all seals and gaskets. And as well, any part that carries or stores fuel will need a thorough cleaning.. --- scottq60 wrote:
