I'm going to need to do the valves on the KLR soon, I did almost 900 miles today and it'll be another 550-600 miles till I get home tomorrow evening. It's due for it's 15k by then and I want to do the doo then too and I' m wondering if anyone has the doo tools I could borrow. Also, I seriously squared off the tires today with all that slab and I'll be lucky if I make it home without threads showing, going to ride home on the parkway so I can wear down the edges so I'm wondering if anyone has a balancer to true up a new set of tires once I get a set and spoon them on.

I have a Tachyon balancer you are welcome to use. I need to get some stick-on weights. I currently have a bunch of spoke weights. However, I've bought 3 sets of tires and have yet needed to balance the wheels. I did have to balance the KTM rims because the bead lock put the rims out of balance.
I've personally never done to doo. I had it done when I had the jug redone.

I'll PM you when it comes time to balance the tires. I've got a 25 hp kohler torn apart on the bench now which needs to go back together and back on the mower and a leaky head gasket on diesel Gravely that I needs to fix before I can do anything with the KLR. Mowing season is coming real soon, and I've got to get all the equipment PM'd , they were already mowing down in Ashville when I was there this weekend.

25HP? Heck, put that baby in the KLR!
Folks were mowing here in Middletown this weekend. Reminded me to ensure the neighbor kid was set to mow the yard this year again.
