I don't like the Thermobob. It's a bit of a half arsed solution. It would be much better to have a true bypass valve (one which closes the bypass as the thermostat opens to maximise cooling system efficiency) instead of the KLR's thermostat. A suitable valve is likely not difficult to find...

CHeck if the bike really has progressive springs. A stock standard bike will behave like yours if you crank up the rear shock too much. Next check if the rear shock spring is OEM and if the suspension links are OEM Make sure the fork tubes are not pushed through the triple clamps. It basically...

It's time consuming to undo and clean the old spokes to a point where they work well again and can be re - used. If you add electroplating to make them look pretty you end up fairly close to the cost of new aftermarket stainless spokes. If the spokes are badly rusted I'd vote straight for new...

All KLR riders in the know ride C's: Me, CapeKLR... :D

What's the bikes mileage, how long did you have it? Any history of work having been done on the bike previously?

That's an incredibly crappy fix. The exhaust cam oil feed is blocked. Hell you won't even be able to fit the valve springs and buckets past this "repair".

I think I still have one. Must have a look now.

Always get the yellow form completed and hand it in yourself even if you sell to your mother. Do not de - register or scrap since it's legally not yours. remember, you sold it! Scrapping or de -registering it might get you into shit. Go to the traffic department, enquire about the correct...

I currently have five KLR front hubs at the engineers to get damaged speedo drive flanges repaired. Should be done hopefully next week some time. They I can rebuild wheels again. Prices for a hub in exchange or to buy a repaired hub as soon as I have the parts.

I have some 300 KLR shims in stock. All sizes.from 230 to 280

The issue with hte particular year model is it's either a 2007 KL650A aka "Fugly" or it's a 2002 or earlier KL650C which was imported used in 2007. In both cases and dependng on teh condition I would say anywhere between R20k (or even less) and R30k. I don't think that a 20,000km 10 year plus...

As per subject line. My PDF service manual got mauled in the last Windows meltdown :( If someone has a WORKING link to download the manual that would be fine too. Thanks in advance.

Anyone here can PM me contact details for Veemax? Any one has tightening torques for an SP43 cylinder head. Or a WORKING link to a manual?

NIMBY The way to progress. Maybe you want to consider climbing back onto the trees?

Problem caused by the spring which used to be on the outside pulling the stand away from the swingarm. Now they have the spring on teh inside because they needed space for the switch on the outside. Once the pivot wears out a bit or if the bolt is loose you get the scar. I support and apply the...

I have a 2008 assembled and complete with everything valves, springs, cams, buckets, valve cover even valve clearances adjusted. It will fit the 2013 without any issues (mechanically identical) but it's the older dark grey colour. R12,000 not neg.

A well informed reply :thumleft:

Why? I have stock, I can get more, I can courier or mail. But please remember I do not visit the forum a lot any more if you need something urgently please e-mail oor SMS or phone. Jürgen

Complete bullshit. People read comments like this and loctite phillips body panel screwws ::) The only thing I ever had falling off any of my eight KLR's was a header heat shield which had cracked at some 120,000km. All the Loctite in the world would not have prevented it.

Fault of some ham fisted wannabe mechanic who managed to break it out. Only saw this once so far. No idea how it's achieved. Fixed with the soldering iron.
