Front axle
 

Is there a nut missing or does the axle just thread into the fork? Txs, Dave

Just threads into fork.

digitty you should check out the Big Woods 200 DS ride in Wabeno Wi. ( east of Rhinelander??) I don't think that's far from you Sept 29-30 couple hundred miles of trails, logging roads, and some "hero, single track, sections" thrown in Great time, which unfortunately I think I am missing this year.

Thank-you gentlemen, I will try to get to Wabeno!

diggity, what year is your bike? '09 has a nut on the front axle.

Looking at the Bike Bandit site, I think you're right. I'm surprised they changed this element in the fork/front hub for the later KLX's. Maybe there's more difference than just reduced travel on the later fork than I first assumed.

wow! i never knew.

I have a 2007 thanks.

p.s. how do you add a signature on this forum...like below

Considering the number of differences between the '06/'07 and the '09 -> newer I wish everyone would mention the year of their bike with their posted question or even better their sig or profile.
