front end alignment

[paguerra]

Hey, got a question. Had to take the clutch switch apart working on the bars today and after putting it back together, it was intermittent (wouldn't let starter run unless held just-so). I ended up wiping most of the electric grease off the sliding bits while handling it to bolt it back together. Could this be leading to the problem? I'd hate for this switch to flake out on me a long way from home. Aren't there instructions on bypassing the whole damn system? -Paul

Simple bypass behind the Tach/Speedo. http://klr6500.tripod.com/safetyswitch.htm If you can find them, the spade connectors that fit are .187" not the standard .250" size. I have a few here, I made a simple bypass and backed the terminals outta the connector like Mark did and just looped the bypass back on to the cable. Dooden A15 Green Ape

The switch is adjustable - left and right - it is best using a meter to adjust correctly. (Good to know in the field) Herm A15 At 10:31 PM 6/30/03 +0000, you wrote:

----- Original Message ----- From: comfortcm To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 5:37 AM Subject: [DSN_klr650] Front End Alignment So took my 2003 KLR650 out for my first dirt biking experience. Got a little caught up trying to get the bike in a wheelie. Did too good of a job and flipped the bike over. Fortunately I was able to get out of the way, however the handlebars now are slightly off the alignment with the tire. It appears I am turning left when I am going straight. It does not appear that anything is bent. Anyone had to realign the handlebars with the front wheel? If so what is the best way to do it, any specific bolts/screws to loosen, etc. Thanks, Chris List sponsored by Dual Sport News at www.dualsportnews.com.
