balancer chain klr
I believe the counter balancer sprockets were changed in about 1996 to a
solid sprocket without the damper springs. Your friend might be able to
swap out his for the new model.

I was just at a friends who has a KLR with about 50,000 miles (mine has
53,500). His engine was making a rattling racket so he removed the flywheel
and checked the balancer chain. The chain was out of spec so he is replacing
it. He also noticed the gear/ sprocket with the weight on it was very loose
on the shaft (that goes through to the other side fro the water pump
impeller). He is replacing both the shaft and the gear / weight. The rubber
cushion on that gear was starting to tear up. Sobering news for all us high
milage KLR's.
