Thanks. Great pics and a better description than any manual I have read.

 

nice job Kawi Wawi

 

Great job on that post!!! I will bet Deej is having seizure's looking at those photos..lol Deej Its OK.. Its only dirt... it will come off.... lol..lol..



I should not be making fun, I'm a clean freak also. I have no problem getting the bike dirty but as soon as I get home I MUST wash it before I put it away...lol

 

Lol I was thinking the same thing. It's such a phenomenal post, KawiWawi should have used deej's bike as the model for maximum clarity and detail.

I keep my CBR and Boxer immaculate but the KLX stays dirty. I think the KLX looks better with mud no?

 

Dirt? Oh, yeah. I guess it's a little dirty eh?
Yeah, I don't wash my bike. Or my truck. Except on special occasions. I think they like being dirty.

 

KW, I had a chance late last week to put your tutorial here to the test. My first ever chain swap. With your detailed instructions and great pics, my project went off without a hitch. As you said, it is way easier than I ever would have thought.

For anyone that might read down this far, I will say that KW's advice about having a decent pair of of needle-nose vice grips should be taken to heart. I attempted the job with an old cheapy pair and it was immediately obvious that I was not going to be able to get the grip on the small parts like I was going to need. I stopped and went the next day to Lowe's & picked up a decent pair of vice grips. With the right tool in hand, the job is a snap.

Thanks, Kawi Wawi. You have taught a guy to fish.

Nice Job, ..wawi! Great stuff!

OH, and make sure to always include a picture of that seat cover because it makes my day. Did you ever have thoughts of finding a horn that makes, er, you know, kind of a 'Ba-a-a-a-a-h' noise? [&:]

 

Greatjob Kawi, your How To posts are much appreciated. It sounds silly, but I like the clear, concise subject lines as well. Search for "chain removal" and bam!there it is. I think I'll be cleaning and lubing my chain today, it looks dry and is getting some rust. The forecast is calling for thunderstorms this afternoon, so if I can't ride it, I might as well wrench on it, right??

I picked up a can of this stuff atthe dealer yesterday. Anyoneelse using it?

Never used that stuff, but Ido use the PJ1 air cleaner--cleaner and oil. I bought this stuff for the chain, its clear and it sort of foams into the chain, no over spray at all, it comes out slow, and doesn't get all over the tire or wheel.

 

I use the PJ-1 on my other bikes and it's blue and sticky as hell,I don't think it's going on my klx though,They say it doesn't fly off they lie.LOL. My other bikes are a mess after using it. I haven't tried the clear yet.
