Bogdan, Your DSN is on the way. Anyone else still waiting on their copy? Drop me a note. Here's an excerpt from Elden Carl's article in that issue... ===================== KLR Shock Removal According to Ron Jensen, the rear shock on the KLR650 will come off without removing the swing arm. I tried his procedure and he s correct. The procedure goes this way: Jack the bike under the engine so the rear wheel is barely touching the ground. Loosen the upper shock bolt. Loosen and remove the bottom shock bolt along with the lower bolt holding the lever. Swing the Uni-Trak link out of the way. Remove the upper shock mount bolt and pull the shock out the bottom. ======================= Redondo Ron

I know I've spent most of my time just reading the digest version of this list and only made a few posts but I've just got say publicly THIS LIST RULES! 1) Great technical advice! 2) Great parts and service advice! 3) Great riding tips and stories! 4) Friendly folks! 5) And as if all of that were not enough, great belly laughs to start my day at work with posts like:

Ron, Kurt, That Murphy guy was an optimist. Sure enough the day you mail out the second copy the first one arrives. (4/27) I'll try to put it to good use though; I'll give it the mega-dealership in my area. They have a mag rack for you to sift through while you wait for parts; maybe I can get them to subscribe.
