Jeff, you're right - we just decided when and where.
Info on
www.leftcoastklrs.com
Call me or email if you're going to have "special needs". Ian, Buddy,
maybe Warren, and hopefully others will be there to point, advise,
etc. Laughs, smiles, enthusiasm, all welcome! I do need to be ready to
lock the doors at 5 p.m. - but, if there is enough need/demand, I can
be back there on Sunday for a while.
all the best,

Boy I wish I could go. I have to work. I still haven't put the lever
in that I bought back on the last Julian tech day. Maybe I can rent
the wrench and rotor puller from somebody....

So what do I do ? There just ain't no Right Coast
KLR Society.
Do I :
a:) Buy the do and tools from Fred and "Do it myself" ? I've got a
Clymer's.
I can change the oil, but this is beyond my experience.
b:) Buy the do from Eagle and ask my LKD to install it? I've heard this
doesn't fly.
c:)Buy the do from Eagle and get another (non-Kawi) mechanic to install it?
@ $90+ /hr to start !

Charlie,
My suggestion is you buy the doohickey and torsion spring and tools if
you can't borrow them. Host a tech day and get someone who's been in
there to show/help you do the work. It'll probably be 2 or 2 1/2 hours
depending on how well you get set up.
Last doohickey I changed out took me 60 minutes from the time I first
touched the bike until it was ready to roll out the door. I didn't have
any helpers so it went much quicker than teaching someone.
Best,

Charlie,
If you're in SoCal, come to the TechDay and we'll have you do it. For
Free!!!!! If you can handle the wrenches for an oil change, doin' the "Doo"
is relatively easy.
If you can't make it on the 16th, call Mike or I. I have some free time in
the next month or so, so you can come up to my office/shop, we can put your
KLR on the lift and you can do the "doo" all by yourself. With very
patient and experienced coaching.
Buddy

Well then where the heck are you?
There are plenty of very experienced KLRista's that can help you out on
the Right Coast.

Sorry, Charlie,
It looks like I forgot to re-insert brain after washing
hair...........................
I guess the Right Coast is nowhere near the LeftCoast now, is it? And I
won't be in the New York (L.I.) area until mid-October. If you purchase
the Eagle lever and spring kit, the instructions are very easy to follow
and with the Clymer at hand, the job is almost a breeze.
If you get stuck, and you have the Eagle kit, Mike includes his phone
number and is usually pretty cheerful about helping out over the phone.
Hell, most of the "elders" on this list would do the same..........even
CAStu.

Where you at on the Right Coast? There's lots of us over here, we
just don't have the lovely weather that San Diego has. I've got a
garage and all the tools to do most anything to a KLR (except make it
faster).

I am (ashamed to mention it here) located about 5 miles from
Foxboro Stadium.
I guess I'll be diving in on my own, as it were. I just gotta get a decent
place
cleaned out in my garage to do it, and a decent light put in. I guess I'll
need a oz-in torque wrench , too. I probably won't try until the weather
warm up a bit
since the garage is unheated. I thought about riding her down the bulkhead
steps
into the basement, but I might never get out again. Anyone ever tried it?
