Got it in the mail today...Seems there is whole exhaust systems falling off of some of these bikes-The KLR forum I am on has a LOT of guys complaining about this-The whole exhaust system falling off going down the hiway!!
The 2008 model I bought seems to have the biggest problem with this,although I guess I got one that everything is tight enough -Nothing's fallen off.The recall said there were a lot of them that didnt have the exhaust-to-head bolts tightened to the proper torque-SO THEY ARE RECALLING ALL 2002-2008 KLR MODELS TO CHECK THE BOLTS.Said it will take 15 minutes or less.all I can say is:GREAT TIMING!!JUST THIS MORNING,I winterized it,took the battery out,put it away for the winter-2 HOURS LATER I get the letter about the recall.I called the dealer,they said just to bring it in next Spring,they will take care of it then......Imagine that-goin down the road about 55;exhaust falls off,locks up the rear wheel-it would be just like when I went over the handlebars of my bicycle-Only a LOT faster;and would turn out a LOT worse
