Does anyone make an oil pressure guage for the KLR? I don't know if it would have given enough warning to help, but it would add an interesting gizmo to the instrument cluster. Pat tyler, tx

Someone had asked that once before. One possibility is that there is very little oil pressure involved in the klr. It's all ball and roller bearings, with very few (at least under high "pressure") shim/babbit bearing surfaces. I just reinforced as I tore my motor apart last night. Very few surfaces that are oiled under pressure. Most are splash or submersion. I would have loved an "idiot" light, as it would have saved me a bunch of money. millerized
