I went to change my spark plug on my KLR 650 and the gap between plug and engine is tight. My normal spark plug wrench did not fit. Where can I get spark plug wrench to fit this bike?? B

Find another KLR parked on the street and take his Z DC A5X A12X

Got a grinder? Or maybe try a junk yard for the genuine Kawi article. __Arden --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "desert_denizen" wrote:

I think I just use a standard 18mm deep socket... No foam insert, but the plug doesn't seem to mind. Krokko -- Dr. J. Christopher Krok John Lucas Adaptive Wind Tunnel Caltech MS 205-45, Pasadena, CA 91125

Hi, it's, the anti mechanic again. I am going to change the plug, and I am installing the spade fuse upgrade. (I'd had the bad headlight about a week ago, and upon (much) closer inspection, the bulb was in fact bad, needed a magnifying glass to see it, just enough to get it to short out I am sure, there was zero burning of the bulb like I saw when the stock bulb burned out. Any sage advise would be helpfull. Taking off the tank, two bolts in the back, is there more in the front? And is there just the one tube where the gas comes out? Is this like an oil question? What kind of plug do I buy? I'd like the best, most reliable? Is it pregapped? Whats the torque on the plug?? While I have the tank off is there anything else I should be looking for? Lastly, am I going to f**k this up and destroy my klr? I have the accessory fuse kit as well but lost the install instructions. I'd like to at least add a cigarette plug in for the air pump? Are they all the same? Can you just buy one at Napa? Is wiring the accessory fuse kit too big a job for me? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Now that's room service!

The emptier the tank, the easier it is to remove. You'll need to remove two tubes from the petcock, the gas line and the vacuum line. The gas line might splash a little when you pull it off, so wear some glasses and keep your mouth closed 8~) Remove the two screws that hold the shrouds to the tank. Remove two bolts at the back of the tank. If you have tubes coming out of the back of the tank (CA models), remove them, too. Don't loose the rubber pads that the bolts go through under the lip of the tank. Then lift the tank up and to the rear. It rests on two round rubber pucks that may drop off of the frame when you pluck off the tank. Make sure they are there when you re-install the tank. Take the electrical connection off the top of the plug and clean out the cavern where the plug lives with compressed air. No compressor? Try some tubing and lung power or a vacuum cleaner. Lots of little rocks and sand get in there, you don't want them in your cylinder. Your new plug will probably set to a gap that's within tolerance, but it pays to check it against the owner's manual and set it up correctly. There was recent thread on plug torque that you should probably review. If you change spin-on oil filters on your cages, it's like fitting a new filter--seat it, then turn it a little more to make it tight but do not over tighten. Make sure the wrench is on straight or you can damage the porcelain. Note that it's possible (but painful) to change a plug without removing the tank. Good luck! __Arden
