ethical dilemma - **** nklr fraud alert!!!

[mr_uu]

Okay, I screwed up. Can anyone help me if they happen to be doing a doohicky change, I need to know the dimensions of the spacer washer directly behind the gear....it's a washer that's easy to remove by pulling out the cam (but is also easy to drop in doing so). It's a flat washer so it has three basic dimensions, outer diameter (mm) inner diameter (mm) thickness (mm) if anyone can help by measuring then it would be really appreciated. The part is 92026B in the exploded diagram http://www.devonjarvisphoto.com/posted/KLR650/doohickey/doohickey.html From Kawasaki this part is #92026-1462 and is backordered, no stock, delivery unknown from Japan (might be weeks), dimensions/drawings only known in Japan.... mr_uu KL650A15 p.s. The problem occured while doing the doohicky change last week when I pulled the whole idler shaft (including the gear) from the bike and in doing so managed to slip/drop the spacer washer down through the oil drainage hole and into the sump (no chance of getting it out, although I've just put on a magnetic oil plug in the hopes of catching it and then maybe will be able to get it from a right-hand cover/clutch entry). p.p.s. KL650A15 14Kmiles, the doohicky that I replaced was broken in two, the tensioner spring was also broken.

Its seem like the doohicky problem is epidemic for late model KLR's. Serious quality control problems. Hmm. Russell

I thought the doohickey I got from Jake was almost jewel like, but when I took out the stock one it seemed incredibly flimsy. Mine wasn't broke, but stock part just doesn't look up to the job.

How about a poll for people that have had balancer chain idler adjustment lever failures? Mine shit its pants on my A13 almost exactly a year ago. Maybe the A12 is pre failure-prone part? CA Stu

thanks for the lead, Ron Ayers is a good supplier / price, checked them previously though, no stock and the parts come from Kawasaki (backordered)......found out now though that the backorder date is 11/15 so if Kawasaki pull through then will only be out of action for another week mr_uu
