Next Colorado KLR650 Tech Day
No more Tech Days...?
... probably, we'll see.
I still have some
Stuff for sale
and more that isn't listed, so ask. I'm getting rid of a lot of KLR parts and misc stuff.
Look for comments and related chat at
KLR650.net,
KLRWorld.com, and
ADVRider.com
in the Rockies forums.
And, yeah... The
Facebook
page.
Come and join in the wrenching! I am located about 16 miles south-west of Castle Rock,
Colorado, which is between Denver and Colorado Springs.
There's plenty of room to wrench on several bikes at once, and plenty of enthusiasm.
Plenty of camaraderie. Plenty of, um... advice.
We (pretty much) always manage to get things done, even if we need to stay late.
I have lots of hand tools, power tools, a 110v welder, and I keep lots of bolts
and other hardware on hand for whatever needs fixing.
Email me if you have any questions about what we can get done.
Doing a valve check?
Installing progressive fork springs?
Doing the Doohickey? (balancer chain idler shaft adjustment lever)
Replacing some wheel bearings?
Adding some farkles? Yes! Farkles!
Some aftermarket parts?
Want to check out some other bikes?
Want to help someone break their bike...?
Come on down!
Some food and beverages provided
(although you are welcome to donate--bring something unusual and interesting
if you do, since donuts are mundane).
Bring the parts you'll need, along with your flavor of oil, coolant, etc.
If you want me to have something on hand, check with me first.
Tools are always welcome, too.
(Just remember to leave my tools here and take yours home with you, okay?)
Since people often ask, I'll keep an updated list here of
things people can bring
to share and donate if they are in a generous mood.

Be a part of the local KLR community. Come Play.
All bikes and riders welcome!
Whenever possible, I recommend you use
genuine Eagle parts.
Be wary of knock-off parts being passed off as Eagle parts by
disreputable vendors. Specifically, if you buy your doohickey
(balancer adjustment lever) or torsion spring from some
online vendors, you are getting a cheap knock-off and their installation instructions are wrong.
Check the Eagle link above for authorized vendors.
Know that I am not affiliated with Eagle in any way, but trust me on
this one.
And please give up your helpful and hopeful thoughts and
prayers to Eagle Mike, as he endures chemo for his cancer. He's been there
for many of us, and we can send out some positive vibes for him.

Read the BigCee FAQ if you have
not yet done so. It's not up-to-date with Gen-2 KLRs, but it has lots of common information.
Watt-Man's very good KLR timeline article
HERE
has the background on the bike's evolution.
Also,
MarkNet
. Good stuff.
I hang out at Glenn's
KLR650.NET site, Hondo's
KLRWorld.com site, and
ADVRider.com, and I
post new Tech Day arrangements there in the Rockies forums. You can post
to me there, or send me a message through those sites.
Otherwise, I can be reached at SgtMarty@SgtMarty.com.
Enjoy! And again, welcome!
