Any differences with the Gen 3? I have heard getting the valve cover off is a nightmare on the new model.

These videos are awesome. I just did my 2012 KLR at 44900 km and changed all 4 shims. The intake were lower than minimal tolerance at 0.08 and the exhaust were at 0.15 and 0.17 respectively. It is a good opportunity to have a good look around while the bike is striped down. I found out that I had to replace my throttle cable and fix a hose.

I have one on my old beat up Goldwing, love it. Nice to hear you height selection, I’m 6’3 so it’s the 18” for my KL

I really appreciate you videos on the KLR, I have a 2014

Thanks for your video guide. Got the horn and going to follow your video this weekend, girlfriend allowing... !!

👍👍👍👍👍

Appreciate the video I’m getting a KLR and planning on the Thermobob and the Dohickey upgrades from the start.

I, as a klr 650 abs owner, am big on self reliance. This content is appreciated. I want to know I can do it and then it's a choice to pay. Thanks

Great video until your battery died. To redo the missing section would avoid spoiling it. IMHO

Have used these on my last 4 bikes, including my R1200GS awesome wee things! I use soapy water which I lather on the inner side of the Grip Puppies, helps to slide it on, and evaporates quickly.

no va bene la saldatrice li sotto neache i cassatti, tutto lo sfrido cadrà sopra di loro, anche la bombola li dietro non va bene

So a 2013 will also have shims.Disappointing because I would prefer adjusting type.

Excellent video. Thanks

Excellent video Tim. Clear and well presented.

Open or closed, you are supposed to bleed them. Ford definitely recommends it

Use a rubber mallet on the axle!!!

Great project and it does not affect the leverage of the center stand as the height of the turntable is quite low. Where is a good place to get the 1/8" steel and have you considered making these turntables and selling them online?

Thank you for all the nice videos

You don't even have to remove the fork tube. Suck it out with vacuum pump, spray brake cleaner inside and suck it out again. Really easy and fast!

I'm about to delve into an old and busted drz400, I love how well you explain stuff in your playlist for this repair. A non-handy person such as myself can take alot of advice from your videos and helps me feel confident I am on the right path to restoring the bike

Rode this back about 10 years ago... on a bike with two wheels and no motor. it's a slog up, but the decent was fun and fast... MUCH faster than the traffic. I don't even remember how many cars I passed on the downhill

Thank you very much.

You sir are an expert instructor,,thanks. You just made my weekend a breeze .

Ik this is an old video but this is the exact series that made my drz rebuild possible. With the help of a buddy, and most importantly, your video instruction was absolutely key in our success. It went flawlessly all things considered and is still running strong to this day, some 3-4 years later.

E possibile vederlo co traduzione?

the plug is different on the 2015 GS ... guess how I know!

Will there ever be an update to cover the Gen 3 with EFI? I believe it is a more intense undertaking to get access.

I'm sorry but the symbol on the side of the engine is not litres it's quarts. You will also find that most KLR650s will be full with 2.1 litres with a oil filter change. I put in measured 2 litres and then top up a little if required after running.

Whatever happened to the thermabob performance review after installation ? Anyone know..? My 2016 is cold and sporadic.

Followed this to the letter on my gen 1 KLR. Thanks for being so descriptive! Much appreciated.

I'm about to do a valve clearance check on my bike. I feel very confident that i will be succesful in doing so after watching this video tutorial. I have seen some of your other videos also and i really like them. You have a very pleasant voice to listen to, and you are very calm and methodical. I appreciate the time and effort you put into videos like this one. Big thanks from Sweden, you are the greatest Tim!

(20:00) WHAT to do with Table Vertical Space?

Your videos are awesome. I followed step by step and ran into a problem. I got to bottom to TDC. The intake cam is perfectly level. The exhaust is about 10 degrees above where it should be. My thought is to take it all apart and align the cams then check the shims??? Thanks for the help.

This is guiding me currently through the job thanks for the well put together tutorial!

Great video, Tim. Replacing my chain/sprocket and will go with the 16 tooth.

Small one car garage (cries from the U.K.)

May I suggest that you remake the video and remind people like me to not forget the cylinder dowels and head dowels on re assembly. This will go a long way to prevent a really long bike push back into Galway city on the hard shoulder at night. Thanks. ))

Thank you! Subscribed and will be watching more later.

Tim why after installing a thermo bob the temp gauge does not work???

A metallic noise under load can font be pinging - time to try a higher octane fuel. (?)

Well, done and explained I did mine save some 💰 Tnx

Hi Tim. I echo comments below. Having looked at what is available commercially (£175 in the UK) and the various DIY options, yours seems to be the simplest. Plus your comment about keeping the height as low as possible to make it easier to use the centre stand. Inserting a flat piece of wood under the rear wheel to lift the bike a little would also help to get the bike on its centre stand while on the turntable. Also a useful comment about your experience simply leaving the bike parked on the turntable when not being used. Thanks

Thanks for your efforts however you skipped over use of feelr gauges....also missed marking of cams and orientation of cam shims in video was confusing

I like this vid. I am gonna try do mine. If I cant do it I will throw my bike off The Cliffs Of Moher on a Thursday evening. So there))

Hey Tim, I have an 08 KLR and it’s a little small for my gear and a passenger. I’ve been considering an RT or GS. Had a chance to ride a GS, I think it’s a 95 or 97 model. I found when I put my feet down to stop, my legs want to be right where the foot pegs are. Either have to put my legs in front or behind the foot peg to maintain a narrower stance, or at the ends of the foot pegs with a wider stance, which is more difficult on gravel. Wondering if you’ve found that to be a problem, or if the newer GS has the foot pegs a little further forward? Thanks.

Whats the exact Yamaha part number you used there? I DESPISE the petcock on my vn800, and I'm assuming kawasaki uses the same petcocks

I did just find a video on how to bleed the system. That was very good. Apparently you’re supposed to raise it up on jackstands with the engine off do five cycles back-and-forth on the steering wheel all the way left all the way right and then four pumps on the brakes and apparently you have to do that like 90 times maybeand then when you start the vehicle if that amount of fluid goes down at all, that means you still have air in the line

Just happened to me scared the hell out of me fortunately, I was going slow but almost hit the Jack-in-the-Box. Fortunately O’Reilly’s was right there. I got the parts and I’m home. Should get it fixed pretty quick here in the 115° heat and Phoenix. thanks for a great video.

Great video, Thank you!

What happened if i take off the tube longer and only use the tube short?
