Spring,
2012
Look for updates and related chat in the
Rocky Mountain forums at KLR650.net, KLRWorld.com, and
ADVRider.com.
Come and join in the wrenching! I am located about 16 miles south-west of Castle Rock,
Colorado, which is between Denver and Colorado Springs.
Directions to my place will be posted here as time nears.
There's plenty of room to wrench on several bikes at once, and
plenty enthusiasm. Plenty of camaraderie. Plenty of, um... advice.
We (pretty much) always manage to get things done, even if we need to stay late.
I have lots of hand tools, power tools, a 110v welder, and I keep lots of bolts
and other hardware on hand for whatever needs fixing.
Email me if you have any questions about what we can get done.
Doing a valve check?
Installing progressive fork springs?
Doing the Doohickey? (balancer chain idler shaft adjustment lever)
Replacing some wheel bearings?
Adding some farkles? Yes! Farkles!
Some aftermarket parts?
Want to check out some other bikes?
Want to help someone break their bike...?
Come on down!
Some food and beverages provided (although you are
welcome to donate--bring something unusual and interesting
if you do, since donuts are mundane).
Bring the parts you'll need, along with your flavor of oil,
coolant, etc.
Tools are always welcome, too.
(Just remember to leave my tools here and take yours home
with you, okay?)
Be a part of the local KLR community. Come Play.

Whenever possible, I recommend you use
genuine Eagle parts.
Be wary of knock-off parts being passed off as Eagle parts by
disreputable vendors. Specifically, if you buy your doohickey
(balancer adjustment lever) or torsion spring from
some online vendors, you are getting a cheap
knock-off and their installation instructions are wrong.
Check the Eagle link above for authorized vendors.
Know that I am not affiliated with Eagle in any way, but trust me on
this one.

Read the BigCee FAQ if you have not yet done so.
I usually hang out at Glenn's KLR650.NET
site and Hondo's
KLRWorld.com site, and I
post new Tech Day arrangements there in the Rockies forums. You can post
to me there, or send me a Private Message (PM) through those sites. I'm
usually around on other sites, including
ADVRider.com.
Otherwise, I can be reached at SgtMarty@SgtMarty.net.
Enjoy! And again, welcome!
