klr radiator shrouds rubbing tank...fixed!

[Tarheel Dave]

KLRers, A little while back, I read where someone was having a problem with the radiator shrouds rubbing the paint on the gas tank. I found a solution that came about through dismay. I had dropped my EH14 (Canadian) a couple of weeks back and had to order the small screen that protects(?) the radiator. I was able to replace it today and remembered the message about the shroud as I was replacing mine. The radiator screens have some small u-channel rubber pieces to prevent the screen from rubbing. I pulled my trashed screen out and retrieved the rubber pieces off of it. I then placed them on both shrouds at the upper mounting screw. Problem solved and I was able to use "Genuine Kawasaki" parts in the process. I do not recommend that anyone "trash" their existing screen in order to make this fix, but, if one should come across a screen that has been trashed.... Tarheel Dave
