Don't know to whom the post was intended but you seem unswervingly convinced so shan't bother trying to discuss.   As for the side panels, there are a number of very simple solutions to the side panel access problem. I prefer to convert the seat ears into hooks which allows the seat to be removed without tools while others modify the side panel.               ------ Original Message ------ From: "christopher.eckert@...

Dont bother with No Toil. It will cost you way more work than it is worth. The No Toil filter oil works great, captures the best probably, but doesnt evap off enough to stay on the filter. It gets into the carb and will gum it up eventually. Buy a few UNI filters, either UNI or Belray filter oil and either brand of filter cleaner although Kerosene sounds good too. If you are crying about the cost of the filters at tis point then why are you talking about spending on No Toil to save effort?? If you are questioning the cost of filter cleaner read on to see if I have completely lost my marbles or am justified in saying just buy it! Find a big office where the employees use a coffee maker still. Everybody uses the Kurig things now because they cant do the math to figure out how much they cost over a year vs a can of coffee. Get a few BIG coffee cans from them. Get all the coffee cans from them if you have room because they are a good way to store things but two will do nicely. The plastic ones are cool but wont hold two filters and are not in keeping with the old farm tractor KLR way of doign things :-)   Put a piece of screen, like chicken wire or 1/4 mesh, in the bottom of one can. Dirty filters go in the other one. When you have two or three dirty filters use the filter cleaner, or Kero, in the dirty filter can and clean them. Dry properly and treat with filter oil, I think UNI works better but Belray cleans up easier, then place in the can with the screen. anything that will drip makes its way down past the screen to stay off the filter. With one filter to put in and two in the can ready to go it will be a while before you have to get your hands all mucky again. Doing three at a time makes the air filter cleaner much more financially reasonable too, plus it works well, see, some marbles are evidently intact still. The one bothersome point is that I have to pull the side panel to get to the filter and seat bolts. I struggle with the idea of just leaving them off but they do keep mud and rain out of the battery area wich is important ---In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, wrote : It might be worth while to contact No Toil to inform them. They may offer to replace and regardless the information may be helpful to others if it encourages a change.   Question: Were you using the No Toil filter oil with the red label or (newer) green label? They changed formulations to reduce the effects of the oil on filters.
