pelican case

Mike, Which model of Pelican case are your panniers? I like aluminum boxes since there is more room for stickers but it may be time to consider a new direction

loose shifter

Post by fasteddiecopeman » Thu Oct 16, 2008 11:23 am

Ever since shortly after my '04 was new, I find that the shifter becomes loose on its splined shaft. I've tried tightening it, but soon after it becomes loose again, so I bought an "IMS" shifter and installed it, tightened it down and figured I'd fixed the problem. Nope! Loose again, so I removed the bolt and installed a longer one so I could add a nut to it at the bottom and tighten BOTH! Figured that HAD TO WORK. Nope, loose again. I'm not hard on my KLR, it's rarely off-road so not down for a LONG time. Anyone else have this problem? Got a solution? Thanks, Ed

Blue Loctite. If it gets loose again, red loctite which will require heat to remove. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jim Douglas To: fasteddiecopeman Cc: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 12:01:04 PM Subject: Re: [DSN_KLR650] loose shifter fasteddiecopeman wrote:
