[nklr] a great loss i feel

[Fr. Don]

What size socket do I need to remove the big nut that you remove to get off the rear wheel? I have used a large adjustable wrench, but I want to just carry a socket with me on the road. I'm guessing it's a 21mm, but I'm not sure. Thanks! Don+ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

24mm

What size are the axle nuts? Front: Nut, 22 mm; axle head, 17 mm. Rear: Nut, 24 mm; axle head, 19 mm. Source: http://www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html Walt

Your official, super-dooper KLR tool kit should have a wrench that fits the rear axle nut...but it doesn't have one that fits the front. You have to buy an '08 to get that. __Arden

Thanks guys. I have an '08. I didn't think I had a wrench that fit it, but I could have been mistaken. I will buy the 24mm socket anyway. Much preferred. ) Don+ On Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 2:56 PM, Brad's E-mail wrote:

You could buy the Fredette axle wrench with 22 on one end and 24 on the other, or you could select 22 and 24 as two of your three MP T6 tire spoons. For the third, you want the 12/13 with the lip.

Great idea Jud! I wasn't familiar with the product, but after using The Google, I found them. However, at this linkhttp://frpoffroad.com/catalog/details.aspx?ProdID=4>to their products, I couldn't find their 22/24 combo. I also couldn't find it herehttp://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/4/22/278/4720/ITEM/Moose-Racing-Riders-Wrench-By-Fredette.aspx>. Do you know of any place that would sell them? If they don't make the 22/24mm combo, which would be a better combo: the 17/24 or the 19/24? Don+

Hello? Have you checked out the Arrowhead Superstore? I have lots of different axle wrenches for both early and late model KLRs. Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com http://s1.zetaboards.com/arrowhead

Why bother with a limited-use box-end wrench? The best combo would be the 7" or 10" Knipex Cobra pliers: http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/000655.php> Strong lightweight German quality. They don't slip, and they're so strong you can stand on them to remove a fastener. I carry the 7" set in my bike's toolkit, and I use the similar 10" Knipex Alligator pliers in the garage. The Cobra plier is the better of the two. More info from Knipex: http://www.knipex.com/index.php?id=178&no_cache=1&L=1> Mark
