slippery clutch nklr

[Bogdan Swider]

Yeah l'm not the man I used to be - yet another sin of omission. Maybe after a Friday night libation I'll get closer to form.

I was surprised to see that the plates measured as new; saw no reason to change them. The springs, however, were marginal.  I'm no mechanical genius but I deduced that I was lucky to get in there when I did.  As the springs weakened further, the plates would have worn.  Fred talked me into heavy duty springs that were cheaper than the OEM Kawi option. Definitely take more effort ..but then I always wanted Popeye forearms.    Bogdan   From: RobertWichert Date: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 6:50 PM To: klr DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com> Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Slippery Clutch     I suppose that I could just Google "KLR 650 Clutch" and go from there, but I respect the opinions of this group greatly, even if they (Fred) don't always agree with me. I still believe that Fred is a fountain of knowledge and experience and has the best deals on the planet. I try not to buy from anyone else. So, here goes... It seems like my clutch is slipping a bit. A bit of over-revving on upshifts with power on. If this was a super bike, I would suspect wheel spin, but well, you know better than that, don't you!!!! When I was much younger, we replaced clutches with Barnett clutches. They were stronger, better, lighter, faster, all things good. For the KLR, I'm thinking Kawi all the way. Any thoughts to the contrary? I'll do anything to save weight, but I don't think anybody makes a titanium-carbon-fiber clutch pack for the KLR. Fred, do you sell OEM? Do you recommend OEM? Anybody else have any ideas? Anything I should fix while I'm in there? I have a periodic drip from the water pump, so I'm figuring that into the right side fix. Any suggestions on that? Your help is appreciated. -- Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

On the top of my "Natural Ergonomic" (curved) key board are Favorite keys that somehow open fav. web pages etc.

My Question, is there a way to use a button to "INSTALL" my contact info etc. on the bottom of select emails just by tapping a key?

It would be nice to have a few (10+-?) keys that are PRE- programed to have select saying (topics etc) for each.

like the smiley-face icons. FAST CLICKS
