oh great and knowledgeable group...
I am doing a major service on my 2006 KLR 650 for the first time, so
naturally I have lots of questions that I hope you folks will be able to
help me out with.
1) How do you wash an air filter? I have a Uni that the dealer put
on a while ago. I have washed it about four times and ran out of Lemon
Joy and it's still sticky. What do I do? Chemicals?
2) What non-permanent silicone sealer should I use for the cam cover
gasket? It looks like the dealer used something and the books and
MarkNet all say to use something, but they don't say what to use. Any
hints out there?
3) How does the oil filter work? The instructions are pretty
straightforward: Take off the cover, take out the old filter, take out
the pipe inside, oil up the new filter, put the pipe back in, put the
new filter in, put the cap back on, don't over-torque the bolts on the
cover. But there are some posts and forums that talk about "the
spring". I have a spring, but it appears to be captured inside the
pipe, captured by a pin. Is this a new design or something? And the
schematic shows the "narrow end" going towards the engine, but how does
it seal to the cover? Or does it?
DATA:
Left Exhaust Right Exhaust
Meas. 0.17 Meas. 0.18
Shim 250 Shim 250
Left Intake Right Intake
Meas. 0.17 Meas. 0.16
Shim 250 Shim 260
I have purchased two 245 shims for he exhausts from Fred. My dealer
says everybody needs 245 shims and nobody has them. The dealer says
"try later next week". What great service!
If anybody has any good ideas for me, I'd love to hear them. I think
I'm sort of "on hold" until the shims show up.
Cheers!

*** The oil filter seals both ends of the tube. Oil goes in the outside of the filter and then enters the tube through the holes in the middle of the tube. If the filter is clogged oil pressure will build and unfiltered oil will push the plunger in the end of the tube down enough to allow oil to pass through the holes at the end of the tube, along the outside of the tube inside the filter and then into the tube below the plunger.> 3) How does the oil filter work?

*** I work in inches as it's easier for me. It's the way "I" think. Clearances are Exhaust 0.15-0.25mm or 0.006"-0.010" Intake 0.10-0.20mm or 0.004"-0.008" So your data is...> DATA: > Left Exhaust Right Exhaust > Meas. 0.17 Meas. 0.18 > Shim 250 Shim 250 > > > Left Intake Right Intake > Meas. 0.17 Meas. 0.16 > Shim 250 Shim 260
***shim size changes equal 0.002" per size change available. So changing the two exhaust shims to 245 will give you 0.009" clearance which is the best you can get. Changing the left intake will put the clearance too wide so stay the same. Change the right intake one shim size (use one of the exhaust shims you are taking out) will give you 0.008" which is perfect.> DATA in INCHES: > Left Exhaust Right Exhaust > Meas. 0.007" Meas. 0.007" > Shim 250 Shim 250 > > Left Intake Right Intake > Meas. 0.007" Meas. 0.006" > Shim 250 Shim 260
*** The last couple of times I've tried to get a 245 shim from my dealer they didn't have them either. My suggestion is to try a BMW motorcycle dealer and ask for the shim for a 1999 F650. Take a shim with you to make sure you get a shim that is 29mm diameter and not one of the ones that is 29.5mm in diameter. I've also been told a Ford car (I think it's the Tarus) uses the same size shim but I've never checked to see for sure. If you are desperate you could take the shims to a machine shop and ask them to surface grind it to 2.45mm or 0.0965" thick. Ask them to grind on the side with the numbers on it. Then install and put the surface ground side down when installing in the bucket. Use a 250 shim so they are only grinding 0.002" off it. Then buy a 250 from the dealer to fit the intake that needs a 250.> I have purchased two 245 shims for he exhausts from Fred. My dealer > > says everybody needs 245 shims and nobody has them.

Hylomar Blue? Permatex claims to sell it too. Is that the right stuff,
Jeff?

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> Robert, Yes that is the stuff I use. Kind of expensive but a little goes a very long way. It is applied very lightly. I put the tube on a light bulb and let it warm for 3-5 minutes. Then I put it on so thin I can see through it. If it's warm enough you can apply it with an acid brush. Make sure not to leave any bristles from the brush in the sealant. It's also a cancer causing agent I've been told. I usually use my finger with it but would not be above putting on latex or nitrile gloves and using them depending on the application.

Cancer? No kidding.
I won't eat or smoke it though, and my fingers are probably immune
unless it is some sort of nerve agent.
Thanks!

Plus @ Yamabond or Hondabond. I'm lucky because my office is near three cycle shops if you include cycle gear: The only place I buy foam air filter cleaner and oil kits, s200 bike wash, Yamabond non-dry'n, fork oil, chain lube, and dri-slide
