The UK spec guard is tubular, but is quite different from the USMC version
as far as I can see. How much do you pay for an 8000 mile service in the
U.S? (includes stripping the rear suspension etc). Here a dealer said KLRs
are "buggers" (english expletive)to work on, so the service will cost 250
pounds!! I've decided to do everything except the valves, as I think this is
really expensive.

You handled the situation with more decorum than I could have mustered.
I would have told the dealer that his invoice would be a bugger to add
up
when it has been shoved up his Khyber.

That would be a British monetary unit. Just wait 'til they
start talking about Quid, Stones (not the rolling kind),
and "The Colonies". Kinda wish I had the "wine and black"
British version, wadda we get? Green.

weak and intermittent spark

Ive experienced similar difficulty with my 99 klr.I just put a new
stator in last night, and heard the bike run for the first time in
months.
In the troubleshooting process I bypassed all the safety switches,
no luck. Then we proceded to check resistance,in all the ignition
components.My exciter coil resistance was low,per the charts in the
clymer manual.Readings on the cdi were funky,somewere low the
resistance for the wires that connect to the exciter coil were ok but
in the reverse direction.On the spark coil I had good secondary
resistance and 0 primary resistance.
The guy at the Kaw dealer said if there was any spark at all it was
not the cdi unit and most likely The exciter coil in the stator.
At any rate component testing seems to be of questionable value.
Good luck in the parts swapping crapshoot.
