new step-by-step doohickey procedure...
Ladies and gents, I emailed the link to Devon and Jake the other day
as a courtesy. I do not want to step on Devon's toes by posting
another idler shaft lever (doohickey) removal and installation
procedure, but I felt something more specific, something step-by-step
would be of benefit to the community. As I tried to do with my valve
adjustment procedure, I think that between the numerous pictures and
accompanying text I've covered all the bases with this doohickey
guide.
My website, for our new members, is an absolute freebie. In fact, I
pay $4.95 per month for increased bandwidth, more storage space and
to have the ads removed. I'm just "paying back" for all the help I
received as a new KLR owner, and trying to help support the most fun
motorcycle I've ever owned...
The step-by-step doohickey procedure is at:
http://klr6500.tripod.com/doohickey.htm
Additional procedures and information is easily found by using the
popout menus on the left if you have Java enabled, or the links under
what might be blank space if you don't.
NOTE: I'm still not getting any LIST messages. If you have questions,
concerns or comments, please Email me directly at:
msaint@... or
klr6500@...
We'll be gone for the next couple weeks to visit our "Navy" son down
in Chesapeake, VA. I WILL respond to any & all as soon as I can.

Mark, Thank you for the excellent pictures and explanatory text; all of us concerned about our OEM doohickeys are gratefull for your work. I had wanted to do this upgrade, but was reluctant.

All this talk about the doohickey - I've already lost
my copy of the pricelist for the 'hickey and spring:
Anyone know off the top of their heads what that is?

This is an extremely thorough and well-documented idler shaft lever replacement. If only Haynes or Clymer manuals were so
good....
I didn't make my site a step-by-step instruction site for several reasons, one of which is simply I didn't have the time that
Mark has obviously spent.
Another is I was the first person to install the replacement doohickey, and it was pure science in that Jake and I didn't know
exactly what would happen.
Lastly, on another list a while back, someone posted a charging problem, and a list member suggested that given the mileage on
his bike, he probably needed new brushes in the alternator. So the guy took apart his alternator without a manual, or any real
technical skills, and I think ended up having his bike towed to a shop to have it fixed. He was really angry, basically laying
the blame on the list. It was beyond stupid, but something that I simply don't ever want to deal with. I've helped whenever
possible, and will continue to do so but as I metioned I wasn't trying to create a substitute for the real manual.
But hey, since we're using Jake as a substitute for a real Kawasaki mechanical engineer, why not?

ps: we're not the only DS group/bike concerned with tensioners. This is a
possible prob for the KLR, nothing to write congress about, though...I still
say that stone stock, with regular oil changes, and not Xtreme abuse, will
92% of the time take you 67k miles, with no failure.

Outstanding job, Mark! Thanks for taking the time to elaborate with the excellent photos, on this much hyped, procedure. I will use the stuff you've put together, & posted, when the time comes. Tho I'm ignorantly blissful on the reliability of my A14 in the 15k+ miles of primary offroad stuffs, in conditions (deep sandy Florida whoops/etc/etc) that many folks, don't seem to like to do....and conditions where I was amazed that the KLR didn't just seize up, like straight hours of constant revving thru deep sand in the heat...and, and, (more unimaginable, hellish Florida deep sand whoop story's) ...the thing just amazes me with the abuse it tolerates. I've seized a few top ends. Can report no breakage on the (not exactly pampered, yet portly) mity KLR though. Anyhow.....I'm outtof useful mod ideas to perform on er, so...the stepped dohke's up next I guess.> - snip - My website, for our new members, is an absolute freebie.

Another good page by Mark!
But... I don't recall having to remove my front sprocket.

Boy, can I relate to that. I have had two or three people d/l
ShimCalc from my website and then try to hold me responsible for
their bike not starting.
Doesn't anybody take ownership for their actions anymore?!?!?
