My gay brother bought a GSA. He never rode a KLR, probably would not have liked one.
I'm about to do a valve clearance check on my bike. I feel very confident that i will be succesful in doing so after watching this video tutorial. I have seen some of your other videos also and i really like them. You have a very pleasant voice to listen to, and you are very calm and methodical. I appreciate the time and effort you put into videos like this one. Big thanks from Sweden, you are the greatest Tim!
(20:00) WHAT to do with Table Vertical Space?
Your videos are awesome. I followed step by step and ran into a problem. I got to bottom to TDC. The intake cam is perfectly level. The exhaust is about 10 degrees above where it should be. My thought is to take it all apart and align the cams then check the shims??? Thanks for the help.
This is guiding me currently through the job thanks for the well put together tutorial!
Great video, Tim. Replacing my chain/sprocket and will go with the 16 tooth.
Small one car garage (cries from the U.K.)
May I suggest that you remake the video and remind people like me to not forget the cylinder dowels and head dowels on re assembly. This will go a long way to prevent a really long bike push back into Galway city on the hard shoulder at night. Thanks. ))
Thank you! Subscribed and will be watching more later.
Tim why after installing a thermo bob the temp gauge does not work???
A metallic noise under load can font be pinging - time to try a higher octane fuel. (?)
Well, done and explained I did mine save some 💰 Tnx
Hi Tim. I echo comments below. Having looked at what is available commercially (£175 in the UK) and the various DIY options, yours seems to be the simplest. Plus your comment about keeping the height as low as possible to make it easier to use the centre stand. Inserting a flat piece of wood under the rear wheel to lift the bike a little would also help to get the bike on its centre stand while on the turntable. Also a useful comment about your experience simply leaving the bike parked on the turntable when not being used. Thanks
Thanks for your efforts however you skipped over use of feelr gauges....also missed marking of cams and orientation of cam shims in video was confusing
I like this vid. I am gonna try do mine. If I cant do it I will throw my bike off The Cliffs Of Moher on a Thursday evening. So there))
Hey Tim, I have an 08 KLR and it’s a little small for my gear and a passenger. I’ve been considering an RT or GS. Had a chance to ride a GS, I think it’s a 95 or 97 model. I found when I put my feet down to stop, my legs want to be right where the foot pegs are. Either have to put my legs in front or behind the foot peg to maintain a narrower stance, or at the ends of the foot pegs with a wider stance, which is more difficult on gravel. Wondering if you’ve found that to be a problem, or if the newer GS has the foot pegs a little further forward? Thanks.
Whats the exact Yamaha part number you used there? I DESPISE the petcock on my vn800, and I'm assuming kawasaki uses the same petcocks
I did just find a video on how to bleed the system. That was very good. Apparently you’re supposed to raise it up on jackstands with the engine off do five cycles back-and-forth on the steering wheel all the way left all the way right and then four pumps on the brakes and apparently you have to do that like 90 times maybeand then when you start the vehicle if that amount of fluid goes down at all, that means you still have air in the line
Just happened to me scared the hell out of me fortunately, I was going slow but almost hit the Jack-in-the-Box. Fortunately O’Reilly’s was right there. I got the parts and I’m home. Should get it fixed pretty quick here in the 115° heat and Phoenix. thanks for a great video.
Great video, Thank you!
What happened if i take off the tube longer and only use the tube short?
An Excellent Video - thanks ! You are book marked in my Maintenance list -
I don't know anything. But looking at things I think the 'X" rings have more surface contact then the normal type. Two points of contact, instead of one.
The dB meter is an indication, not logic why the new horn is louder at larger distance. For automobiles the tone is more important than the sound level. Nice with a quick solution without rewiring a part of the bike and no errors from the CAN bus
What l did not see on your video is how you removed the two long bolts on the left side of the cam chain cover. Its too tight to use thumb + forefinger to lift them out.
What a fabulous presentation. I've just purchased a 2012 KLR and want to do my own servicing, so your site will act as a go-to. One minor point, l wonder if the radiator fan screws aren't Phillips Head, but rather JIS? The clarity of your explanations and video quality are superb. Thank you for putting in so much effort.
Tim. I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos. Truly. You sir. Are the man. Awesome videos and exactly, I mean EXACTLY what I was needing. You have me the confidence to take on this engine teardown and rebuild and I can't thank you enough sir.
At the lowest point you better off having a small hole to let condensation out .. especially if you are holding tools
Tim thanks for the video. I feel like you may have a typo tho changing allowable tolerance. Can you review your chart please. I feel like you have an extra zero on your upper tolerance changing it to be the lower. This makes it that you have adjusted all 4 out of spec. (.025 & .020) I feel like this should be (.25 & .20). ?
That is not a confined space !
Ya wanna hear a funny one. I owned a 99 with a Sargent seat I put on 15 years ago. It still looked new last week. I was selling my bike as I was buying a newer model being 2016. Told the wife I was going to swap seats after buying it. Wife told me I should sell my bike first in case it takes a while. I said I would prefer not to. She said list it so I did. 26 Facebook replies. Sold it within 24 hours. Then wife says you got extra money for newer bike. I says yeah but I have to spend 500 for a new frigging seat meaning the good deal ain't so good. I loved the look she gave me. lol. I am going to look at widening and dishing it a bit. We have 2 electric knives. They are great for cutting insulation as well. I will probably then get it professionally covered at an upholstery shop.
Brave man. Some would say nuts. It is the kind of exchange in which they should PAY YOU to take the bike home.
Great stuff!
What about the oil change, mine is 2013 and need to change it cause i can feel a bump on the top.
In the other vids it shows someone drilling tyhe frame at full speed. Best way I know to dull a drill bit. Proper way to drill metal is the bump method. Bump the trigger, get a bite of metal and let off. The drill bit makes it's best cuts coming from a stop (breaking the static friction).
I tried many combinations as I am riding to Tuk from Florida . 16x38 is what I settled with.
Funny how the *only* part of this that I'm having trouble with is getting the fucking wheel back on, and I'll and behold, it's the one party of the fucking process that you didn't go into excruciating, mind-numbing detail about!
I didn't know about these until riding a buddies bike that had them. They are VERY comfortable...............especially if you've got larger hands.
I just installed the kit in my new to me Gen 1 KLR (had 3k original miles). I only rode 700 miles before installing the kit, but have personally witnessed the temperature swings in stock configuration. The swings have been leveled out, and it maintains a steady temp reading now, so to those nay-sayers or anyone unsure if this kit works...............it does. For the money and time investment, I consider it a worthwhile upgrade. If/when I get another KLR, I'll install a Bob on it also.
Muito boa a sua mesa de soldagem, mas acredito que uma chapa adicional mesmo que bem fina poderia ser colocada para proteger a máquina de solda e o gaveteiro das possíveis bolinhas de solda que irão cair entre os vãos da mesa durante as soldagens.
Hey! I appreciate this video, curious to know what part you removed at 13:13. I believe i have bent mine and needs to be replaced. Having trouble finding the part #. Thanks!
can you use wd-40 or chain lubricant to oil the filter?
thanks!
Great Video. How many K's/Miles, had this motor done?
I'm sorry, but videos that don't show the whole job are in my opinion misleading, and could encourage people to dive in & end up in this case ruining their carbs. You obviously know what you're doing, but you skipped the part where one has to grind off the tips of the choke flap retaining screws, which have been peened over. Otherwise you'll knacker the thread in the mounting bar when removing them. When replacing them, one should always use new screws, and Loctite them in before giving the protruding thread a dink with a small chisel for added security. If one of the screws should undo and fall out it'll get sucked into the engine and most likely ruin it. I've been fixing bikes for over 30 years for a living, and nowadays I overhaul more carbs than ever, because being old school most younger mechanics don't know how they work. I see a lot of carbs that have been worked upon by the uninitiated, and in some cases they've been ruined because someone forgot the three F's rule....Carbs are fiddly, finite, and fragile. All the best.
2024 and just got toucans and they are great, but OMG do they squeak... i'm running to store right now...
used an Electric bread knife 😂😂
I never hear anybody talking about the rear sprocket change it is about a 3 to 1 ratio difference how come nobody just goes two teeth down in the back for maybe a happy in between gear
Great video I always tie a string to any line that I pull out that way I can pull the new line back in with the string. But all Ford trucks 1984 to 2012 use MERCON® V fluid. In power steering
Problem it will probably nullify your guarantee
