"The Doohickey"
Engine Idler Lever Counterbalance Upgrade Kit
As many have heard from either the web or other KLR enthusiasts, the
bulletproof design of Kawasaki's KLR engines have but one flaw. This
flaw happens to be within the tension system for the counterbalance
chain. The
problem arises when the poorly made stock idler shaft lever (aka "the
doohickey") fractures, splits, or cracks just from the normal wear and tear
of riding. This eventually causes the chain to put excessive tension
on the spring (which eventually breaks in due time as well) therefore
leaving the chain "flopping" around inside the case to cause expensive
damage to other parts or even seizing the motor. But, with this new
upgrade kit, you can be assured peace of mind. This kit provides all the
necessary parts to replace the poorly made stock doohickey and springs
with higher quality.
