29mm valve shims (got any used ones?)

Post by gej_69 » Mon Feb 11, 2008 10:02 pm

I plan to check my valve clearance in the morning. I'm certain I will need some shims. I'll know what sizes tomorrow. But just to get things going I thought I'd give this a try..... So anyone got some cheap! 06' KLR650 Metalmanic San Dimas, CA.

If you can, tear it down figure out what sizes you need, call SuperFred and he will dash out the sizes you need lickity split. Then Reassemble and test, then ride. I had mine down in the garage for I think it took like 3 days total to get them to the remote wilderness called Upper Michigan. http://www.angelfire.com/ut/moab/index.html Dooden A15 Green Ape

looking for alternatives ti ear plugs

Post by Gary LaRue » Tue Feb 12, 2008 8:46 am

Hey Rick, thanks for the link. I didn't know that there were so many choices. My job supplies me with disposible foam ear plugs, but I think I will order some gel filled ones for riding. At least it's worth a try.

I bought a sample mix online and we tried them out to get the one that works for each of us. The I bought quantities. It is amazing how hard it is to find a earplug that fits under our helmets. Many of these plugs are fine for everyday use with out a helmet. http://earplugstore .stores.yahoo. net/unfoamtrialp .html
