Eh, ride it, it'll be fine. I just discovered yesterday that in the past 500 miles I've burned about 1.5-2qts of oil in my beater A12X. Ran great with only ~.5qt in there! Z

Yup, that KACR is coming off this weekend, what better way to spend an afternoon with a full belly of turkey.

Actually, this is one of the cases where general info for the KLR doesn't exactly apply to the KLX. From what I've read on the Thumpertalk.com site, the KACR is a known POS on the smaller KLX bikes. Might be on the KLX650 also. Apparently as recently as last years' KLX300 the KACR is indexed wrong on the cam and it doesn't work.

Will you let us know how the job went & what you went through? Are you planning to just disable it with the spring or do major surgery? -Jim in AZ

I'll let the group know how it goes, plan to take the cam out, cut off the wimpy looking rivet and toss the KACR in the round file, where it belongs. I have ridden this bike over 800 miles in a day, twice, don't want to risk major engine failure on something as small as a rivet. Just my .02 worth.

Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release This device helps the engine start by holding open one exhaust valve at very low rpms. You will hear a clatter in the head if you run your engine slower than the recommended idle speed. This is this mechanism trying to hold open an exhaust valve and will kick off once the rpms come up to idle or above.

Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release. Believed to be an artifact from (pre 96?) earlier KLR's that had a kick start. Doesn't seem to have a purpose on non kick bikes.
