my own doohickey poll

[hens_p]

I'm going to keep the doohickey poll up at http://www.ironjungle.com/ for a week or so longer. However, I'm gettting a lot of suggestions/comments suggesting I should have different answers (or maybe even a different question). Let me know if you have a suggestion (post it to the list) and I'll consider it when we modify the poll. So far, I would suggest that that the doohickey data tells us the problem is more in the mind of the owner that an actual problem. Of course I know the poll has errors, etc. but most bike are listed as 'no trouble found' by a large margin. Pat

I agree with Jake. I worked on three, 2002, KLRs all under 4000 miles. We replaced the doohickeys on all three bikes. The factory doohickeys were all intact but on two of the bikes the springs were broken. Jake's doohickeys are worth every penny and I would recommend it to anyone. Dude
