Consumer Description

KAWASAKI KLR650'S HAVE A PROBLEM WITH AN ENGINE BALANCER LEVER BREAKING. I HAVE A 2002 KLR AND FOUND MY LEVER TO BE BROKEN IN THREE PLACES. ALTHOUGH IT DID NOT CAUSE A CRASH IN THIS CASE, THE BROKEN PIECES COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT (AND HAVE IN THE PAST). YOU CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT THIS PIECE TO BREAK WHILE YOU ON THE HIGH WAY. IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT NEW KLR OWNERS CHANGE THIS PART OUT WITH AN AFTER MARKET PART TO AVOID INJURY. *JB
