I was waiting..... I though it was too tempting for some listers to resist. (again, the joke or the extra inch?) Devon -- "It's a troublesome world, all the people who are in it, are troubled with troubles almost every minute" Dr. Seuss

Yes, your dealer skipped part of the new bike set up checklist. The tops of the fork tubes should be flush with the tops of the triple clamps. -- Marc, KLR650 A12

My A7 came into my possession over the winter with the forks protruding 1" to 1-1/2", and I corrected it when changing the fork boots. After riding it both ways, I prefer the way it handles on the street with the front end lowered. Eric in Pa

Dealer screwups If you buy the bike new, the dealers often leave the forks in the shipping position, with the fork tubes extending about 3" beyond the top of the triple clamp. The tops of the fork tubes should be flush with the top of the triple clamp. http://www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html

new reader--boy you guys really are prolific! have an 88 klr --front end dives terribly when I brake--changed the fork oil--I can't see any way to add a spacer to these 1' springs. Help clif

[Terry Thompson]

Hello, Larry Rossler progressive springs. I just happen to have a set that has about 700 miles on them for a KLR. They definately help with the front end performance of the KLR. It includes the spacers. 65$ to your door, or anybody else's for that matter. Run about 80$ plus shipping new. My ebay name is "terryth" to check my feedback for selling stuff. Paypal accepted. Two days ago I brought home a new Suzuki DRZ400S with 0.1 miles on it. Needless to say the wife wasn't terribly happy and something had to give, in this case, its the KLR, so it is going byby. It is all ready sold for exactly what I paid for it. The guys not interested in the upgrade stuff so I returned it to stock. I have some other lightly used KLR upgrade parts that I;ll post more info about later, Moose skid plate, IMS SS pegs, 14/47 sprockets and o-ring chain, flat Corbin seat. If anybody is interested in anything, email me. Thanks Terry --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "clifpayne92115" wrote:

My first Tech days was great. But I still need help on my forks. 87' 49K bike with 10" springs in the forks. Seems to have tapered plugs under the springs. Anyone know what gives.

I am trying to get my forks apart. I have everything apart except the bottom allen headed bolt. I know there is a special tool but there must be a way around that. Any help would be appreciated. Matt Fiorenza 05 KLR 650 95 KLR 250 (for the wife)
