KLR Swingarm and linkage maintenance

carlrf · Post by **carlrf** » 11 Apr 2007 21:41

Decided to tear in to the swingarm and shock linkage seeing that the weather is being difficult, figured I would have some time if things didn't go well. From start to finish I was around 2.5 hours and sweeping the garage floor! This KLR is the easiest bike to work on! Yeah Hoo! Not riding causes the old "farkle" bill to go up too. IMS pegs, Eagle brake bracket, IMS shifter, Dual Star radiator guard on ebay, gee wiz, I have got to exercise some self control!

Yeah, I think Kawasaki uses vasolene down there and not much of it!

Yeah. Anymore crude comments like that, Jason, and the guy that runs this forum will ban you. He's an A-hole.

That dang cowbell is getting on my nerves. Everytime I log in I here, that cowbell is ringing. So, not only is the owner an A-Hole, but he needs to chill out on the cowbell. OK

Maint. is very easy on the KLR. I only did the swingarm when me and Speedjunkie (Mike) got into some deep water and muck on the way back from the Stampede last year. Pretty much the only time I'll ever do that type of maint., or during the winter when I'm bored.

Hey, I didn't take it there! If I took it there I would have said "Kawasaki uses K-Y Heated personal lubricant down there" but I didn't. I kept it clean. You're the ones with your minds in the gutter.
