Welcome to the list. I'm 99% sure that the '97 and '98 models are 100% interchangeable. Mark B2 A2 A3

Nope, they've been the same other than color since '96.

Gents, As you may remember, after doing the doo, there was a whining, and then it wouldn t start, had to ferry it back home on a pick up truck. Now two weeks later I finally put the starter motor back. Before this I took off the left cover and checked the starter gears and stuff. Charged the battery to 13,56 volts, installed the starting motor, it does not start. Aha, ground wire from relay loose. Then tried to start, oh my dear, what a terrible noise, now there is a loose valve or something!! After a while I realized the muffler pipe was off, to access the starter motor, so then it started, and apart from the noise, all is well in the KLR s tummy. I think the cause may have been manifold, combination of things, but I am sure something was wrong under the left cover, which has been corrected now, without knowing exactly what it was. Why wouldn t it start running downhill? No idea. I can start even without a relay, just hold the two wires together, so it is still a mystery to me. Before the doohickey operation I ran 800 miles with Auto-Rx in the oil, when I drained the oil I ripped the oil filter apart, to check for something, but all was clear. Maybe now is the time to check the metal filter under the right side cover. So most likely the Thing will be running again in a week or so, if inspiration keeps up. I got the rest of the afternoon off, I also washed and groomed the YBR125, which is my spare bike, so I have been busy today. I inform you, because the guys that gave me advice and suggestions may want to know. Unsolved mysteries we don t like. Thanks, Jake. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
