Here's a tip: trying to qualify your thoroughly disrespectful remarks by saying "no disrespect" doesn't nullify them. They're still disrespectful. I can understand why you wouldn't endorse the concept of "finding myself." In your case, it probably ain't worth looking for. JT To: dsn_klr650@yahoogroups.com From: reverend@...

Darwin awards, etc. How about a trip plan, telling folks where you're heading and that you'll check in every two days or something. "Finding myself" is a crackpot hippie move that only tells me that Prozac is in order and possibly a padded cell. I wonder what happened to the KLR - did he wreck it? Is it out there?

After 20k smiles and cracking the case, the doo has run its course. The spring was attached but slack, but the upgraded lever like new. Hat is off to Mike Eagle here! Anyway, I now have slack in my timing chain, the doo can't "do" it's job now it's reached the limit and the chain has rubbed a bit of the bottom of the case (cosmetic at this point). My question is what's the standard operating repair procedure here? It looks like the balancer sprocket with the plastic material around it is pretty much worn-off. So do I replace that balancer to fix things? New chain? All sprockets? I'm surprised to be here with only 20k miles. Regardless, my top is back under the knife so it's a good time to have a peek at the doo and other innards. Glad I found this. I ranted about the previous top end repair earlier, but yes I'm sending my head and cylinder to Schnitz Racing for the love it needs. Possibly going 685 kit and head job with stainless valves. So I figure it's a great time to find stuff (broken/worn) like this matter. TIA - Brian

<><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><> Brian, The timing chain is usually used to mean the chain that goes to the top of the head and turns the cams. The balancer chain is the one that stays in the bottom end of the engine and is tensioned by the spring and locked by the doohickey. Just wondering if you mean balancer chain is loose?
