Note to all newbies; Welcome to the group. Read the KLR FAQ. This is the best, most useful conglomeration of KLR information I've seen to date. You can use the links to learn more, but in the 5 years I've been ridin' and wrenchin' on my KLR, this info has been the best!

I would agree with the suggestion for the blue locktite on the bolts and screws except for the ones that screw into a rubber cushioned attachment. Loctite seems to make the rubber spin when you try and remove the fastener... Once you have bonded with your bike you might want to consider greasing the swing arm and shock/ link bearings, this can be a problem if the bike has been ridden in water or if the factory did a poor job of prepping the bike.
