Hey I just saw that you're in Ft Atkinson My grandfather lived on the river just downstream from I-90 (Edgerton). You should check out some of the dual sport rides in the area. There is one next weekend in Leaf River IL, South west of Rockford. Another that takes place in the fall is real close to you. The Bucky is in Cross Plains WI, just west of Madison. Great places to ride off road, since we don't have much to choose from around here.

I just bought a KLX205S Saturday. Changing out all the fluids so I know what I got. Ran into the spring... Here's my milk jug tool:
Here's a video if you're really bored and have a minute and a half to blow:

Dude great video, and might I add you are a great communicator, its as if you were reading off a teleprompter. Nice job man! I will probably bend the spring on my next oil change, I might as well join the club and stop fighting it.

The service manual shows a dab of grease on the back of the filter. Didn't see that until after I made my tool. I don't like the idea of bending the spring... because it'll break on me and find it's way into the motor. That's the kinda luck I have.
