(klr650) 37k update
Attachments :Howdy folks,
Just a quick update for ya.
37k now and everythings just fine. I started using WD40 on the new chain at 31k
and so far there has been no sign of wear. Not only that the bike stays much
cleaner than it did using chain wax.
Still have not checked the valve adjustment, the only thing that worries me now
is the cam chain, though there is no noise from the engine, im tempted to get it
checked out pretty soon and at the same time reluctant to touch anything on the
engine. If it aint broke, dont fix it.
The 38t rear sprocket I have is ideal for my journey, cruising speed is a comfy
80mph but 90mph feels ok when im running late.
Unless anything happens, ill report again at 50k

Hi,
Well, when it does break it will be mega expensive to fix.

Dude,
Still running the 15 tooth front? 38t is 5 teeth down from stock right?
How does it pull in 1st and 2nd gear?
I am running the 16t and stock 43t rear, I am tickled pink with this gearing
(pleased)

I have been sitting on the sidelines on this one. We always encourage
people to check their own valves not knowing anything about their abilities
or their resources. To some this is a very complex procedure and to others
it is as easy as changing the oil. For me I couldn't have imagined doing
the valve check before I traded my pliers in on a pair of robogrips. Them
babies are nice.
