What owners report
THE ENGINE BALANCER LOCKING MECHANISM FAILED EARLY ON THIS ENGINE - AND ON MANY OF THE KLR650S FROM 1987 - 2007 USING THE MODEL A DESIGNATION. MINE WAS AN A14 IN THE '86-'07 KLR65'S CHAIN-DRIVEN BALANCER SUBSYSTEM, TWO RELATED PARTS ARE PRONE TO FAILURE: 1) THE BALANCER IDLER LEVER (KAWASAKI PART NO. 13168-1436); AND, 2) THE IDLER SHAFT SPRING (KAWASAKI PART NO. 92144-1860). THE TWO PARTS SERVE TO MAINTAIN TENSION ON THE BALANCER CHAIN. THE OEM IDLER SHAFT LEVER IS A WELDED PIECE. BECAUSE IT IS IMPROPERLY SUPPORTED, THE LEVER CAN BE EASILY CRIMPED, DENTED, OR WARPED. EVENTUALLY, THE DAMAGE CAN BECOME SO SEVERE THE LEVER ???HANGS??ť ON THE CRIMPED PART AND FAILS TO ALLOW ADJUSTMENT T
MY 2000 KAWASAKI KLR650 HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE COUNTER BALANCER ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED MANY TIMES BY OTHER OWNERS. IN 2002 I OPENED THE SIDE CASE UP AND THE BALANCER ADJUSTMENT SPRING WAS BROKEN. THE SPRING WAS BROKEN. I REPLACED THE SPRING AND ALSO THE LEVER WITH AN AFTERMARKET PARTS. ONCE THE LEVER AND/OR THE SPRING BREAKS THE SYSTEM WILL NOT ADJUST TENSION ON THE BALANCER CHAIN AND AS LIKELY WILL CAUSE THE ADJUSTMENT TO LOOSEN RATHER THAN TIGHTEN. A VERY LOOSE CHAIN CAN DERAIL AND POSSIBLY LOCK UP THE ENGINE DURING OPERATION AND AT SPEED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH POSSIBLE INJURY. *JB
