Thanks Kenny, great video. My KLR is new and the main tri-link shaft was difficult to remove because it wasn't properly lubed by Kawasaki and was already corroded. I'm so glad I lubed all the bearings, sleeves, and bolts. Additionally, when reinstalling the plastic caps, orientate them so the "deep slot" is located at 6:00 to allow water to drain out.
Very helpful tutorial - wish my pivot bolt came out that easy. Rust had it welded on.
Spot on vid, a must watch must do for every KLR owner out there. THANKS!
fantastic "how-to", now off to get my hands greasy! Thank you Kenny.
Oh I wish I would have done this sooner. My pivot bolt does not want to come out. Been banging away at that sucker for almost an hour. I'm sure I will not wait that long again to do this.
great video. I like to always use a small brush and brush on some grease to the inside of the bearings also and then grease the pivot bushing.
Great great tutorial my friends. Greetings from Costa Rica 🏍🇨🇷
Excellent work with great editing
Excellent tutorial thanks bro
Very excellent, Kenny, and thanks for this "how to".
Great Video, Thanks Kenny. My KLR is due for its first swing arm lube now.
Nicely done, but you forgot the main bearing on the pivot. You took the bolt out, cleaned it and forgot to lube the corresponding bearing. One has to loosen the rear motor mount first, and when reinstalling the pivot arm, it helps to spread the frame a wee bit. I used a ratchet strap on one side of my frame , near the footpeg, and a comealong to the other side. Both were attached to beams on the side of my carport. The knuckle then slipped in like butter. Be careful though, as you only need a slight pull. Once reinstalled, don't forget to retighten the motor mount.
There is a bolt just above the main pivot you're talking about. It has a 14mm nut on the right side (foot brake side) that when loosened allows you to easily spread the frame enough by hand to allow for easier swing arm mounting. This bolt holds the frame to the rear part of the motor, so leave the bolt in, just loosen the nut a few turns.
He also neglected the upper shock pivot.
Great job. Thanks for the information. I’m in the middle of a value job on my 08 KLR so I made as well do this job to. Thanks again
Kenny, great job on another awesome video. I need to do this on my KLR before our next big trip.
Looks like you really know your stuff on the KLR man! Good show!
Haha! Careful editing, can make me look that way :D
Very helpful. Will you do a spark plug change video next please?
Top effort!
While you were in the mood, did you do the steering head?
Hey Kenny I don't see the need to remove the rear wheel and swingwarm and all that jaz. I was able to leave it assembled and still remove all bolts/sleeves and clean and lube them. They were bone dry on my '12 with 5k miles. 15 minutes well spent!
?how do you lube the swingarm bearings then? :/ Tho main purpose is to lube the needle bearings. Remove, check and grease the pivot bolts is a side effect.
Awesome video
Brilliant, thanks so much!
hello, I always see your videos are very interesting, because you acerbis Foot Pegs your klr650 .. ?? I want a Foot Pegs ACERBIS, you break the boots? serves also for other shoe?, could you tell me if there is need to change something for them ...
Thanks and sorry for my bad English translations of, I live in Peru and have a KLR650 2013
why did you not pack your bearings
can you tell me where to buy the ACERBIS Foot Pegs.
Thank You
one dang fine tutorial!!!
Great video!
I've always wondered, what is that tube and plastic bottle that's hanging down there on the right?? 5:14
+Shaine MacDonald the tube with the plastic bottle runs from the air intake box, your air filter is soaked in oil and it can sometimes drip oil, the oil from the filter drains down the tube and collects in the bottle, so you can dispose of it later rather than just having it leak into the road. Hope this solves the mystery! Thanks for watching!
Nice man.. Really helped!
Great info.
Thanks man!
Very helpful!
Good video thanks
🍻 cheers m8!
