need part number

[Blake]

I have two problems (well two that are related to the subject): 1. I had a 14 tooth put on my A14 at the shop a few weeks ago while getting a couple of other things done, and I swear my shop must have welded the nut back on, because I cannot get it off. I tried leaning over the seat while stepping on the brake and using a 1/2inch breaker bar and extension...no good. I then got my lovely bride to step on the brake so that I could get a good position and put all of my power into it. After employing a cheater, I proceeded to torque sheer my extension (I need to cut back on the spinach.) Any ideas other than taking it to a shop and using an impact wrench? 2. I knew in advance that the countersprocket change on later models was a challenge, so I ordered one of Jake's right nuts, along with 3 or 4 other goodies. I know he has a stellar reputation here, and in no way am I questioning it, but is Jake a bit of an eccentric "artist?" I sent an email asking if he had sent my order, and my response was a refund via Paypal with an attached remark that "he makes most of what he sells and others have been waiting patiently since May." Jake...I sent an email back, but I will repeat the essence of it here: I did not ask for a refund, or question how you do business. Your reputation for quality work is impressive. I just want your nut. I ordered some other things too, and I do want those, but what I really covet is your nut. How do I get one in my hands? Thanks to Jake or anyone else who can help, or recommend a good therapist for me.

Go to www.buykawasaki.com and look under the "parts diagrams". You'll have to enter or pick your year, make, model ect and then you can access all the same screens that the dealer has, and the same pics that are in the KLR 600 manuel and KLR 650 supplement manuel.

Did you straighten out the tab on the locking washer behind the sprocket which locks the sprocket nut in place? You didn't mention doing so. Regards, Kurt Grife Avila Beach, Ca----home of 300 people and at least one great white shark [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
