left bearing race

Post by normkel2000 » Wed Dec 07, 2016 1:45 pm

Apologies if have already posted on this topic: The left main bearing race is only listed as part of the left case (must buy both case halves). It's a much simpler operation to swap the bearing race than to replace cylinder liners for many bikes. Heated the case with propane, tapped out the race. Simple. I have a broken case with good race & a good case with bad bearing race. Simple swap, FWIW. Haven't done the reverse but clearly is not an issue. Will report back when get around to swapping the other way but wanted to prime the pump here as find this group to be one of the best and don't want it to go away. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dxf29nj7bc5he7g/AACBf4zQWgoZsLeAJtbkkii5a?dl=0

rear rack

The two vertical 6 mm bolts which hold the package rack to the sub-frame are very often broken when KLR come here. My usual remedy is to drill out and thread to 8 mm. There are two KLR in the garage and about to be modified as a preventative measure so thought to toss this out there. Can post photos if it would be of value...?
