Hi, thanks for the comments and the suggestion. I'm glad you like the videos. The KLX140 does not have a fuel filter (at least the Canadian versions), but you could easily add one if you want (not a bad idea). I know I haven't added any new videos for a while, but there are more maintenance guides on the website (roadandtrail.net). Have fun with your grandson!
In order to adjust the chain, you need to loosen the axle nut, so the answer is yes (probably), you will (most likely) need to remove the cotter pin in order to adjust the chain. Depending on the size of the cotter pin, it might be possible to loosen the axle nut just enough without removing the cotter pin to facilitate adjusting the chain.
You shouldn’t have to remove the cotter pin. You’re just loosening the axle nut. There was plenty of thread between the nut and the cotter pin when I adjusted mine. You don’t have to remove the axle nut, just loosen it.
Thank you. My son found it really easy to adjust the chain after watching your video.
I'm glad he found it helpful. Thanks for the comment.
Wow, this was very informative and put together well. Nice job, thanks!
Thanks again. I really appreciate it.
Awesome video, thanks
Thanks, and you're welcome.
Can you do a vid on fuel filter change? Tks enjoy your videos. My Grandson has a 2021 Kawasaki 140 R.
