I HAVE A 2003 KAWASAKI KLR650 AND THE BALANCER LEVER ADJUSTER IS BROKEN. IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE SEIZURE. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS YET AND AM DRIVING AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE. *JB

I JUST CHECKED MY IDLER SHAFT LEVER (DOOHICKEY) ON MY 2003 KLR 650. THE DOOHICKEY WAS INTACT BUT, THE SPRING WAS BROKE. I CAN'T FIND THE END OF THE SPRING THAT BROKE OFF AND THE CHAIN WORE PART WAY THROUGH THE SPRING LEAVING METAL SHAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE NOT GOOD!!! JUST ORDERED NEW DOOHICKEY AND SPRING FROM ARROWHEAD MOTORSPORTS. *JB
