doohickey (balancer chain) adjustment - how often?

Group, Re: Speed Channel / KLR / Dave Despain vacation on TV Am I the only one but, did anyone see the Speed Channel, Wind Tunnel 4 minute TV piece of Dave Despain going to Prudhoe Bay on his Red/Silver late model KLR last night? Awesome! Looks like he's on a month trip and will do weekly show reports from the bike and wherever he is. Like 3 minute video pieces. Looks like he's a fan of Ortlieb and Aerostitch. You would think that a guy with endless funds could choose any andvenure bike he wanted in any CC. But he chose our trusty KLR. I have such a big smile right now. KLR Bugeater

Most recommendations I've heard are to adjust it every oil change. I personally do it whenever I think about it or when I start to hear noise.

Not always, but on the occasions when I'm doing it because of the noise, yes. da Vermonster
