I looked, and looked,can't seem to find it: Krylon Fusion ( paint for plastics )...{ Plastic is the general term for a wide range of synthetic or semisynthetic polymerization products.They are composed of organic condensation or addition polymers and may contain other substances to improve performance or economics.....} So, we know what plastics are...... Now, where in the heck is the Aztec Red at ?? Wallie's World,Home Chamber Pot, ie Home Depot,Lowe's ?? I just need a spray can .. HELP ?? My wife finger nail polish just flakes off ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

"I looked, and looked,can't seem to find it: Krylon Fusion" If you look at AutoZone and Pep Boy, you may find it. There was a red, but since I have a Barbie bike, I didn't need it, sooo, if you want to look there, you may find it. I know they have a red, but the only real way to tell is to pick it up and test it. I don't have any plastics to compare with.

Seems like I have seen it at Home Depot. I bought a can at a True Value Hardware store. That has been a while back though. maybe they quit carrying it. Criswell

So Luc of the North... I've tried for years to get my wife just to wash the bike. How did you get your wife to paint it? albatross who has been walking barefoot on the beach for the new year

klx300 choke performance in cold weather

Post by Luke in Brooklyn » Thu Jan 03, 2008 8:44 am

I swapped a KLX carb mounted choke onto my bike last spring after the regular choke cable snapped (it's a hassle to lube, so I didn't... goes to show ya). Worked like a charm, but now that it's cold (cold here means low 20sF) the bike is *really* slow to start. Turns over for a good 7-10 seconds before it catches, then just barely runs for the first 5 or 10 seconds more. With the original choke, it just fired right up regardless of temperature. I'm not looking for suggestions on what to check out for a hard starting bike, I'm looking for experience from other folks who've put a KLX choke on their KLR regarding really cold starts.
