Yeah, OK, I need to do mine too.... don't rub it in! Although, if I get a garage heater, I might just do the whole 351 thang.

I can vouch for hotfootmoto sliders and chain guides/guards. I have them on my KLR650. VERY nice...don't even have to take the chain off to mount the guide, as it has bolts to put the two halves together. I have about 5000 miles on my set with very little evidence of wear.

On the hotfootmoto guides/blocks/rollers, did anyone notice that they show two different sets of those items fitting the '06-'07 KLX250's? If the items pictured in each version are true representations, they look pretty different. The green ones that indicate they're also for a KLX450 look more appropriate. Anyone ordered these who'd know for sure which one of these to order for an '06?

Better now than to have bearings fail while out in the middle of nowhere.

I was lucky and caught it before it had worn right through.
Filled it with liquid metal, new guide and its been OK.
