“I have a 2002 Kawasaki klr 650 with 6053 miles I am trying to sell it but no one wants it with out the balancer upgrade aka doohickey. I did mine today and found the spring broken. The tail end was missing. I know alot of people have been affected by this bad part inc. The balancer itself. I don't know what kind of damage the broken spring did but the bike still runs, and with the upgrade from eagle it sound alot better. I think Kawasaki own me some $$ for the parts and damage. I doubt if I will ever see any but would like too. …”
