bit of clattering on cold startup

[drewcasci22]

Hi all, The local BMW Dealer in Penang claims that Kawasaki will be moving production of the KLR to Malaysia. This sounds a little far fetched to me and as much a rumor as anything. Does anyone know if this has any truth to it. Regards, Andrew Penang, Malaysia

My 2003 was doing that with Rotella T 15W/40. Switched to Mobil1 10W/40 and the rattle on startup stopped. Michael -- "It's not what I don't understand about religion that bothers me, it's what I do understand." -- Mark Twain San Francisco, CA
