Subject: (klr650) Scottoil alternative

I bought a quart bottle of Sta Lube Gear Oil and lo and behold the fill
tube/cap from the original Scottoil bottle fits it!!

A question that comes to mind is, how would you fill the Scottoiler
reservoir if you were to lose the filler tube and more importantly the
tip??????

Cheers,

Subject: (klr650) Alaska list BOO BOO

Sorry for the inclusion of the KLR list on my Alaska list posting. I am
already going to post some of my, ahem, experiences to the list. I meant
to send that post to people I know who aren't on the list.

SORRY!

I was working 13 hr night shifts while staying away from home and had to run two tanks of gas through it before I had time to do anything.  Then I emery-clothed the area and plastered seal-all on top of the crack.  (This stuff works great.  It sealed a leaking oil-pan on a car of mine while the pan was weeping.)  However, the crack grew larger immediately.  I had to drive the bike ~400 more km before I got it home so I patched more seal all on it. It now drips about twice per hour rather than once every 5 seconds.  I really recommend seal-all in a jam.

My next plan of attack was to either center-punch or drill out each end of the crack, then add filler.  I'm planning to use J-B Weld.  Does anyone know if it holds gas?  If that fails, brazing will do fine.

The IMS tank is enticing, but it costs more than the J-B ($8 at Canadian Tire) and the Kawi tank-bag wouldn't fit without mods.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

J B Weld will hold almost anything.  I carry the stuff in my toolkit on all
if my rides.  Drilling a hole on either end of the crack is a must so it will
not travel.  rough up the arear with some corse grit sand paper and applu the
JBW.  Let it sit for about 12 hours and you'll be fine.  I had an 87 Sporty
and three of the  rivets in the front fender failed while I was touring (yes
you can tour on a Sportster).  One rivet was holding the fender on.  At camp,
I took the fender off, cleaned up the area and JBW'd it.  It has held since
then ( a friend owns the sporty now).  The stuff is fantastic.

Subject: (klr650) KLR chains

Can anyone tell me the numerical designation of the stock chain on my A11?
Is it a 420? 428? 520? 530? Or what?  Do these numbers actually describe
something about the chain links (length, width, etc.), or are they just
arbitrary numbers? Can I change to a different number chain without changing
sprockets? (Or is there any reason why I would even want to do so?)

    I belive you will find itis a 520x106 links. The number is of
significance, but what exatly it tells you I dont know. You are pretty much
stuck with a 520 chain on the LKR without resprocketing.

A10 refers to the model year, but not the year manufactured. 1987= A1,
1999=A13. A10=1996 model KLR.

A quote from a book by John Robinson ("Motorcycle Tuning Chassis"
ISBN 0-7506-1840-X)
"Note: the size is expressed as the pitch (distance between pin
centres) multiplied by the width (inside walls of the sideplates),
as in 5/8 x 3/8 in. Chains are conventionally made to inch dimensions,
specifically to units of one-eighth of an inch. The size coding
reflects this, for example 530. The first digit, 5, represents the
pitch in eighths of an inch (i.e. 5/8). The next two represent the
width, in eightieths (i.e. 30/80 in this case). 20 would be 20/80 or
1/4 inch and 25 would be 25/80 or 5/16 inch. There are exceptions,
when the manufacturers alter the final digit to denote, usually, a
stronger chain. For instance, a 428 would run on the same sprockets
as a 425 but has thicker sideplates. A 532 and 632, however, have
larger rollers and do not 'gear' properly with 530 or 630 sprockets.
If there is any doubt, check with the supplier."

So our modern Jap bikes are still using imperial chains.
Have a quick look at:
http://www.hyptec.com/atv/chains/specs.htm
to see some Tsubaki chain spec examples.
