Keep one in stock and don't think about it at all. I'm curious, just how big a problem is this for people? I mean, how many are broken? I've replaced maybe 2 or 3 due to being broke by myself in all the years I've been doing KLR's. One the threads stripped off the "nut" which seemed like poor plastic- sort of chalky. People have asked me about this, apparently under the impression that they are breaking on an almost daily basis on most bikes. ;-) If there was a system which was easier to remove and reinstall, then even then... I'm a bit concerned about steel and other metal fittings because that may transfer the risk to damaging the threads in the carb. Just curious, it being winter and all.
