I had something similar happen. Pending size, why can't you lean the bike over and try to work the thing out the hole? I flipped a TL125 upside down once to get a part out that slide down the intake.

Hi all,
quick question.

Have anyone tried fitting the 25ltr acerbis EXC tank onto an LC4?

Finally replaced my broken clutch lever on the 640. I got one from Motion pro has a nice needle bearing in place of the stock bushing. Anyone ever try these?

No, but I'm going to order one now though!

Used on for years but it was from Enduro Engineering.
Good stuff.

When you buy a used bike, it's usually a good idea to go through everything..

Installed backwards... WTF.

I'm sure that re-built shock felt a little stiff at first.

I have a spare set of those for sale if your interested? Shoot me a PM.

Are there any filter skins available for our loved ones?

I rode much of the TAT a couple of years ago on my 640 ADV and whilst riding in a group in dusty conditions was having to either change or wash my filter every day for a while.

Going again this year, I'm running with the air box open on top and sides (with the mesh screen), guess that's not helping but did grease the inside of the air box.

So are there any skins for the LC4 or do I have to use a pair of black silk stockings cut up to fit

I have yet to really look into it, but I was thinking one of the OuterWears covers for dunebuggys should work decent!

Did you get the filters for the 2 open hoses on the BST? I think MotoLab is carrying them!

I am sure I have Twin Air style as well as another company. When looking, keep in mind the 640A air filter is off the KTM 65 minibikes (of the same era) so you can buy anything that fits those bikes.

The best way I have found to avoid the air filter hassle is either to be way in front or way behind.

I have used the MSR # 03-0066 skins before. Fit pretty good.
But if you want to pack along silk stockings, beware what might crawl into your tent!

Looks very familiar.

Hi everyone.
2001 LC4E, I have blown blinker/brake light/neutral fuses 3 times over the last few months. It happened this morning when riding into work. The headlight flickered then the next turn the blinkers were dead. I wanted to verify it's the right one installed and through searching I came up with 10A, but the one I have been replacing is a 25A. Which is correct?
Thanks for ANY help!!!

Why not close the sides and eliminate the problem?

You get enough air from the top and it's clean.
