Yes, thanks again team, much appreciated. I agree, when the rear is
shot, I will replace all three - front, chain and rear. But at this
point, 20 bucks for a front and flipping the rear may entice the
chain to think it is running on brand new surfaces, (it is) and thus
maximizes its life as well. (assuming a systematic approach to
cleanin and lubing) but hey, we won't go there for now.
Then when the rear is shot, and the chain stretched, I will gladly
replace all three regardless of the appearance of the front (which it
is likely it will look much like the one I have now)
sorry if I have thought about this one too hard.
hey - you want to hear about my synthetic oil change??
thanks for not boycotting my posts - could give me a complex or
something, perhaps even drive me to purchase a harley, or worse yet,
an Ipod.

Paul,
From your description it sounds like I'd be looking at the carb end of
the cable. On my KLR the cable has a bit of play at the carb. I wonder
if yours got jammed when you were working on it.
Best,
