banned nklr

[carlhlarson]

Two questions: Has anyone ever made a list of the bolts that are most likely to rattle loose on a KLR? So far I've had to tighten several bolts and LOST(!) 5 bolts/screws from all over! Anyone else had this experience? How often do y'all carefully check everything? Should I take it all out out & loctite it? 2ndly, has anyone here any experience with coating their bike in truck bedliner? My 96 KiLleR has a few scratches & I thought it'd definitely be a fashion statement but would like to get some advice from someone who's taken the plunge first. Thanx, Carl Larson Seattle WA clguy@...

comparison Sorry if this a double reply. I think that other one got sent to the wrong place. Just wanted to say that I have been unbanned. And you're right, the soup nazi thing that finally did it. It was purely a humorous thing for me, no hurt intended, but apparently Glenn didn't see it that way. I still can't get over the fact that words are getting banned over there. Wahddya gonna do? It's his list. I'll just laugh, have a beer, and remember to not make jokes that involve Glenn or question him at all. He'll think I'm "griping" again and toss me for good.

I removed every fastener which was convenient to do, blue Loctite and torque wrench. Critical ones such as the licence mounting assembly were also given a dab of silicone RTV across either the head or the tip depending on access. This has been common practice in bike shops where I used to work and also for road racing (many years ago). So far, touch wood (patting head), nothing has come off my KLR in 10,000 km. Others who I help with their machines have lost lots of screws until we did the above with theirs. HIH Norm
