My question it this. Does The Great One's instructions for valve adjustment apply to the 2000 model, and do I need the manual? I own a 2000 KLR650 C6 and am finding it somewhat difficult at times to determine what is relavent and what isn't. My bike has 800kms on it and I simply will not pay the $200 for the dealer to inspect. Also do the gaskets and seals need to be replaced every inspection? Oh, yeah Eldon mentions "DO NOT remove spark plug" because of automatic compression release , but then at the end of his artical reminds to install a new plug. There is NO doubt in my mind Eldon is an authority on these bikes, and I'm sure glad there are people like him to help people like me. Thanks KLR Listers Dave C6

NO, you don't need the manual (contrary to what everyone will tell you, but it can't hurt to have one just in case). Eldon's instructions are pretty adequate on their own. Yes, you need to remove the spark plug. Blow all the loose dirt out of the hole prior to removal, I use a piece of wire to loosen it up, and blow it out with a straw.
