let a 'mechanic' work on my a9

Post by PauL M. Bober » Sun Apr 06, 2008 7:31 pm

Now I rode about 30 miles and noticed the exhaust was getting really loud. You guessed it, the retainer for the exhaust to the head is laying down by the clutch cable. I am a little too pissed off to take it back. Anyone got any idea what size nuts or bolts hold the thing on and if there could be any other missing hardware that may have fallen off? PauL p the A9 owner that learned his lesson about letting others work on his bike

Paul: We do learn eventually, don't we? Nobody will take better care of your motorcycle than you. That's why this motorcycle group was started. I'm totally inept when it comes to motorcycle maintenance, but I do know how to read. That's all you need to do to learn how to maintain your bike. Follow this list and your problems go away.

Listers, I just learned of this book at KLR650.Net . The author is Adrian Scott in Australia. He rode solo on a KLR650 from Siberia to Turkey and wrote about it. You can learn more and order a copy at www.users.bigpond.net.au/AdrianScott . Guys that ordered a copy a bit over a week ago have already received them. Cost a few minutes ago is $28.33 US including postage. Adrian suggested using Pay Pal as the best method to get a copy.
