"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.
