nklr colonoscopy

[Jeff Johnstone]

G,day from Aussie.I have a question and hopefully someone will be able too help me out on this one as I can not get a manual for this bike at the moment as it is on back order(95 KLR 650 C model).I would like too know how to adjust the balance shaft as it seems too be making more noise than normal.The engine in the bike is not the original as it has a big nut holding the counter shaft sprocket(96 onwards)and all of the paint on the clutch housing is still there with almost no wear at all,so I dont think that the motor has done a great deal of work.The engine is not burning any oil,has got 100 psi of compression and runs very well.I am just worried that if there is a problem and I dont fix it that I might give the motor a new inspection hole in the side of the barrel.Any information on this matter will be welcomed as I am worried that if I continue to ride the bike,I might do some damage and I could not have that happen to my pride and joy...Thanks Jeffrey.....

Jeff, surf on over to http://www.multisurfacemotorcycling.com/klrpage/leveradj/leveradj_p1.htm> and read Eldon Carl's description of the process. -- Blake Sobiloff San Jose, CA (USA)

I had one of those a year or 2 ago. You are so correct about the cleaning out part. Pretty crappy! I told my wife I didn't want to do that again. She said they found 3 polyps and I will be doing it again. She markered on my ass "Here's looking at you kid." The Doc and the nurses got a big kick out of that one. Nothing to fool around with. A friend got colon cancer and survived - so far. This was a year or 2 after his heart bypass. Now he discovered he has diabetes. Getting old sucks. Oh wouldn't recommend riding a bike after the colon check. Stand on the pegs if you do. Criswell
