KLR650 87′ to current Kawasaki KLR650 Doohickey Kit by Eagle Mike USA. This basic kit only has the doo, torsion spring, and drill bit – does not include gaskets or the special tools. If you need more than the basic kit we suggest you purchase the Complete Doohickey Kit. The famous Eagle “doohickey” aka balancer adjustment lever. Machined from solid 17-4ph stainless steel that was heat treated to H900 condition. This is the strongest and best doohickey you can buy. There are copies, but none are as good. We have hade small improvements since the first one was machined in the early 2000’s. NOTE- Now includes the torsion spring. This is absolutely the best setup for adjusting your counter balancer system in the KLR650 engine. The torsion spring has these features that the extension spring doesn’t: Captured on install Takes the slack from the system in the best way Does not constantly stretch and relax while the engine is running Much longer adjustment arc compared to extension spring setup. Much more even tension as the system adjusts. Torsion spring install https://youtu.be/EBwCbVvkA70 The rotor bolt is also considered a one-time use part, so be sure to order one of those. You will need special tools to complete the install. These are available separately or in the complete kit. Installation instructions here: http://www.leftcoastklrs.com/articles.htm Here is a video Watt-Man made of how I hook the end of the spring in place. Be sure to pull the spring around in an arc as you hook it in the slot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MYytmcHQ_c doo install part 1 doo install part 2 2022 doo upgrade NOTE – All 2008 and early 2009 engines have a deep hole issue in the left side outer cover.
