water pump oil seal replacement

[John Kokola]

Putting out some feelers to see if there's an interest for parts.  Bike has unknown mileage (IIRC, ~40,000 miles as reported by previous owner; no odometer).  I purchased, rode for a while, bike was parked outside (covered) for a year (other bikes had priority for shed space). I'm looking to get rid of these parts cheap.  No front end, gauges, or rear brakes.  Parts have some surface rust.  I also have a few aftermarket parts, such as footpegs and barkbusters (beat up but functional).  I'll be taking pictures of this stuff over the next few days. I will know more as the bike continues to come apart.  If I need to list prices, someone please tell me. (I've been on this list for about 5 years, I just don't post much.  I'm known to many on ADV as Jack90210, and I have 100% positive feedback on Ebay as jck22903; I'm not looking to scam anyone.) Thanks, John

I'd be interested in the rear rack, if it is identical to a 2007 (I think it is). I would also be interested in the carburetor. You said cheap, right? Robert P. Wichert P.Eng +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ========================================================

Just did my 06 last week. Check out http://www.klr650.marknet.us/wpump.html Read both the Kawi Clymer manual and Marks site before you dive in. It is easy. Just make sure to change both the mechanical and oil seals while you are in there. You can clean the strainer screen and check your clutch springs while you are there also.
