Double check me with the parts diagrams at kawasaki.com or ronayers.com, but it looks to be PN 92110-1111. __Arden --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "fairbanks14450" wrote:

<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> dh, I think I'm carrying a cheap 18mm deep well socket in my on bike tool kit. I measured a few sockets a year or two ago and the cheap ones seem to fit best. I find them at a local pawn shop for about $0.25 when I need one. I'm curious as to why you "need" to change the sparkplug?

I thought there was a sparkplug socket in the stock toolkit? Not that I've ever really looked at the thing, but it might do in a pinch... -- Blake Sobiloff http://sobiloff.typepad.com/> http://sobiloff.typepad.com/klr_adventure/> San Jose, CA (USA)

dh, I went through the same thing last fall. Jeff Saline offered this: "Looks like I was wrong on the socket manufacturer and turning it on my lathe. My socket is a Provalue 18mm Taiwan 30798 deep well socket. The outside diameter is 0.935" and it fits my head/sparkplug. It's tight but it fits. I'm sure I got it at the pawn shop as I don't normally buy sockets retail anymore. I'm thinking Provalue might be from Lowes, Menards or an auto parts store. Best, Jeff" I ended up just getting my hands on the one that came with the stock tool kit. I almost bought the motionpro one until I heard it doesn't fit some XR400s--I would like to get an XR400 one day so it seemed like an excusable splurge, but not if it might not fit!

The city light wires are the quick fix for GPS power however you may wish to consider whether it is most desirable that the GPS power stays on with the ignition off. My GPS is presently connected to power at all times because I prefer that the GPS not power down while stopped for gas and such. The flip side of that is the GPS power supply will flatten the battery if it is forgotten over night. Who would be that foolish you ask????? Only once..... Another question is whether you feel that this will be the only accessory which will be installed. If so, the city light wires are a good power source. If another accessory is likely to be installed, it may be best to avoid doubling up on wiring by installing an accessory relay at this time. The wiring has a lot of voltage drop so accessories and headlights both benefit. Norm [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
