A few ( its the exception, not the norm) 08 klr's are using oil if used to commute on at very high speeds for sustained long rides.
My 08 klr uses no oil, no matter how hard i ride it.
I geared mine down so its always revving hard, and still uses no oil....i ride regualrly with 8 other 2008 klr's as well, and none of them use oil.
The doohickey has a new and better lever, but the spring is too long , and can run out of adjustment.
I changed the spring in mine, it was pretty much out of adjustment, maybe at best had 1 more in it, but i doubt it.
Have done a few otjers for other guys, and same scenario really, the spring is just too long.
Your good for a few thiousand miles, and a couple 2 or 3 adjustments it appears, then the average bike needs the spring changed out.
I use eaglemikes springs.
No, i have not tried the torsional spring, but it loooks like a great idea, and i hear it works well to.
My bike was crazy lean, so i cut off the sealing plug with a hacksaw blade, and now have the pilot screw at about 2.25 turns out....seems perfect now.
I tossed the snorkel away that was in the airbox to, so it can breath better.
Run the chain slightly looser than the manual says to, as its too tight as the suspension compresses.
