KLR650 Valve parts in Puerto Vallarta or Mexico City
Hello,
I let the bike run out of oil (don't need to tell me how stupid it was - but it had never burned oil on normal driving around Ontario between oil changes) and thought I'd seized the engine upon arriving in Puerto Vallarta from Toronto on Sunday.
However a mechanic said the engine seems fine (after revving it and asking me how often I rode) but that there is a problem with the valves related to the ticking noise the engine makes.
My question for anyone/everyone is does the ticking on the KLR need to be dealt with or is it just an annoyance?
If it needs to be dealt with, does anyone know what parts are needed and if any decent mechanic will be able to do it?
And finally, will the dealers in Puerto Vallarta or Mexico City have the aforementioned part(s)?
I did also have a minor crash in the Copper Canyon that may have messed up some things - not to mention the full-on crazy rubble I was driving over occasionally...
cheers
James.
