small drops of worry

[Fred Hink]

Good news on this late model. I would have to ask why the plastic and gas tank were changed. Could this bike have been a salvage bike, chop shop special or a survivor of revmaaatin? This bike should have been the blue-green color. As long as you get a legal title, then it really doesn t matter what color it is since that is easily changed if you like.

Well it turned out to be a 1997 instead of a 1991. Which makes it an even better deal since it has the thicker cylinder head and improved clutch. I am still puzzled about the colors though, aren't 1997's supposed to be the blue green instead of the olive drab green? Only the tank had paint on it, the plastics were not painted after all. The previous owner must have changed the plastics... ________________________________ From: Dooden To: mailto:DSN_KLR650%40yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 4:31 AM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: Found a deal on a KLR, can you give me advice. Looks like a sidepanel in the trunk. Scan back a couple of days of messages on the group website there was a how to using bedliner as paint. Rest of the minors, fork gators, signals, tires ect Fred can hook ya up. Carb Dia a HD Sportser uses a CV-40 Carb or did.. cheaper than a CVK-40 replacement part, petcock kit I got at local dealer for under $15. Somebody else has the title is the only part that I did'nt like.. Have fun Dooden A15 Green Ape

I am almost positive that is NOT a stock seat, but I have one if you want it. Free to good home. Don't worry about the turn signals, they are more trouble than they are worth. Wave your hands.
