That's what I meant. I'm not smart enough to have figured that out on my own. Maybe there are updated revisions of the owners manual?

 

If I forget to pick up one of those 50 cent grease packets at the counter I drop it on the side to pop it in. I just don't like how it spills gas everywhere when I do that. I might try bending the spring next time I forget.

 

There was still grease in the filter area, when I just did my second oil change, from the first one. I used Petroleum Jelly this time around. Just dabbed a bit on the inside part of the four fingers cast into the engine case and placed the spring in after that, no problems.

You should take it to the dealership where warranty approved Kawasaki trained staff use Kawasaki oil, filters and shop rags. One week and $150.00 later you'll have your bike back running (maybe) good as new(?).

 

Or do it yourself, get it back in a hour, pay only like $20. And get the satasfaction of a job well done.

 

I'm sure those Kawasaki shop rags make all the difference.

 

Hey guys, you gotta remember that there are different years of KLX250's represented here. Mine is an '07. The signature, (if you use one), will give you a clue as to whether the comments may or may not apply to your bike. I suggest that you incorporate the use of a signature for the benefit of the others.

Stay safe out there!

 

As true as it may be, there are so many similarities between the 06-09 you can almost use the same manual for each year.
