2008 Kawasaki KLR650

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. *TR

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. I RETURNED IT TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR REPAIR IT HAS SINCE SAT FOR LACK OF COOPERATION OF THE MANUFACTURER AM HAVING TROUBLE INPUTTING THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY MOTORCYCLE IT IS NOT ON THE LIST, IT IS A SHIENRIE ALLROAD 200CC ENDURO MADE IN CHINA, FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROCEEDING I WILL INPUT ANOTHER MAKE. *TR
