37242 kms and just did the fork seals. One started leaking last week so looked into you tube. Found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yITE7ByETVk I ordered some parts from the USA, I get stuff shipped to http://www.hagensofblaine.com/receive-with-us.php Nice living 7 miles from the border. I had planned on totally disassembling the forks but my 24 mm socket would fit inside the tube and the dude on the vid said that was the size. I coulda returned that socket and gotten another socket but figured I'd flush the old out with tranny fluid and refill with synthetic tranny fluid. I also installed NEW progressive springs I picked up on craigslist. Total cost 105.29 Did I mention oil and fluids are cheap in the USA. This is the first bike I have ever done fork service to. I am no mechanic but have enough tools floating about that the avg. person could easily do the same. Time to do the work was about 4 hours. next week I have new http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/produ...2A2GSBLA0WTISM4VMDK0OWIV0?store=&skuId=643292
and check out the price. with free shipping to HAGENS, I also have the rear tire on order. It should be in stock in a week and then they'll ship it free. Price for that is 53.15 I am beginning to think I am addicted to online shopping but the deals are too good compared to shopping locally. I am also looking at a TPI seat, Corbin, sargent, or http://www.rickmayercycle.com/gallery/Kaw_KLR650.jpg
That seat looks mighty comfortable, You'd think since I owned the bike since day one and 37k kms I'd stick with what I got as a stock seat but with what I have saved online I can spring for a wee bit of comfort. Problem with that last seat is it is the cheapest however they are the only ones that want my seat for a week. They are in california so might wait till winter. Ed
