2008 Kawasaki KLR650 Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“I purchased an enduro motorcycle for use on the highway,the motorcycle is equipped with all necessary components for that purpose. The first problem was the speedometer was not calibrated to the fault that I never knew what the reading would be evan at the same estimated speed. I used the motorcycle on mostly surface streets. On the evening that the motorcycle failed it seemed to get a boost of power so to speak, then it started to rapidly loose all power until it would no longer continue run. I attempted to restart it but it had lost enough compression to do so. …”

“The starter idler gear shaft hole/sleeve is bore/milled to deep on the outside casing. The shaft moves to the casing side and loses contact with the inside bushing/sleeve, wich forms a gap at the main housing side. There is now enough space for the spacer washer to fall into the bottom-end and cause huge/catastrophic failure.”
