HI, I HAVE HAD MY O7 KLR FOR JUST OVER A YEAR NOW FROM NEW AND ABOUT TO DO A 16000KM SERVICE MYSELF.
I USE THIS BIKE MAINLY OFF ROAD ON THE FARM AND ALMOST EVERY SECOND W.END OUT RIDINR TRAILS IN THE TRANSKIE. I PROBALY PUSH THE LIMITS OF WHAT THIS BIKE IS DESIGNED FOR. OTHER THAN REATTACHING THE FAIRINGS AFTER EVERY RIDE AND TIGHTEN ALL THAT HAS WORKED LOOSE I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE WAY THIS BIKE HAS HELD UP.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF RATTLES AND SQEEKS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED RECENTLY THAT ANNOY ME GREATLY WHEN IM RIDING ON THE DIRT AND I CANT SEEM TO LOCATE THEM. THEY SEEM TO BE COMING FROM THE BACK SHOCK AREA AND ONLY UNDER LOAD. A FELLOW RIDER SUGGESTED I GREESE UP ALLTHE BACK SHOCK LINKS.
I'M SURE MOST KLR RIDERS HAVE EXPERIANCED RATTLES AND SQEEKS. ANY SUGGESTIONS ??? PLEASE ADVISE
ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO GET HOLD OF A KLR 07 WORK SHOP MANNUAL??
