KLR: A Group Question? I have an question regarding the after market Valve Spring Compressor tools other then the high dollar factory tool. Anyone ever use the Pit Posse Valve Spring Compressor for an KLR650? There is one at Sears for a whopping 19 bucks, that did not work unless your working on a car......., Duh! Any help on a good choice for an Valve Spring Compressor tools would be appreciated. Thank you, 05 TouringVic & my trusty 03 KLR650. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
