Just checked the 6th KLR to have had the Eagle Mike Doohicky upgrade...the coil spring was broken...as well... that makes it 6 out of 6, all fitted by a reputable dealer.
Also then found that the roller bearing inside the idler/tensioner sprocket had collapsed???? a very strange thing, unfortunately only able to account for 9 of the missing 11 roller pins after fishing around with a magnet, draining the oil and removing the clutch side casing as well. (had the bike on its side to do the doo without draining oil, easier to work on...hmmmmm).
All that I am putting out there is that all of us thinking all is well inside the engine after we spent money and time doing the Doo, :character00271: Take the time to have it checked out....PLEASE.
If you are in Cape Town, South Africa...I am happy to have a Doo Tech day at my house....just get in touch with me through the Forum and we can set something up....it takes all of 30 minutes.....total. :stickpoke:
