I just finished installing a new rear tire on my 05 KLR. Everything went well considering this was my first go at it. Despite my diligence and mild paranoia, after all is said and done, laying underneath the bike is a small clip. I can't think of where it might have come from off the bike, but I swept the floor before work and so I am at a loss. The extent of the work included removal of the rear wheel, caliper, and inspection of bearings, and re-install. A photo of the Mystery Part is posted. Anybody see this guy before? Keith

Does anybody recognize this part? It's a long story, but the bike fell over and when I picked it up, this part was laying on the garage floor. http://www.wichert.org/MysteryPart1.JPG http://www.wichert.org/MysteryPart2.JPG http://www.wichert.org/MysteryPart3.JPG The cam cover is off, if that helps. And oil is everywhere. That didn't help. It's pretty slippery picking up a bike with oil all over the floor. -- Robert Wichert P.Eng.

Is that from the top engine frame bolt? Crash

That is the nut for the upper engine mount at the frame. Mark At 2:41 PM -0700 5/17/12, RobertWichert wrote: Does anybody recognize this part?

If your siting on the bike that would be on the left side, the bolt goes in from the right side if memory serves. Crash

That guy is pretty interesting. He just rides along talking and some of the things he says are pretty funny in a dead-pan sort of way.

Just don't do what I did and accidentally pinch the neutral light wire behind that part when reinstalling it. I was leaving the bike shop after doing so myself when I discovered the oops. I sat under a tree in the front yard there for about 30 minutes doing a hasty repair before going home. (owner had just left with the door keys. Insult to injury.) eddie
