hard to start - non klr

[Ron and Brenda Moorhouse]

I had a great 3 days of riding in the Stanislaus Natl Forest near my home. On Sunday, however, my 06 began missing at higher rpm's under power. Ran just fine as long as I shifted into higher gear or when revving the engine in neutral. I rode at several elevations from 3500 ft to 7000 ft. Didn't matter. After a couple of times experiencing this, I just rode it easy the rest of day without getting rpm's up high enough to miss. Got home and have not had a chance to check anything out yet. Any thoughts??? Ron Moorhouse Modesto, CA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi digger, Yes, I did come in as a tourist but as soon as the plates were seen by the Gerdarmine, they said I neede to get insurance and then get the paper of conformity. I had 3 months as a tourist by using my passport. They were real nice to me just told me that I could not ride on the road because of the French road tax, the insurance, and above the letter of conformity. Appreciate all the support fellows.

I hope this is not correct. I am a veteran myself and I feel it was a privelage to wear the uniform. I don't want any joe off the street to be able to share in that. Ever notice how people against the military or those that didn't serve always want to wear camos? hum? Hey thanks for serving!

How do I turn off the NKLR stuff that shows up on our forum? I only want to read about klr's. It's been a while since I originally joined the group so I'm a little rusty. Some of the NKLR stuff has gotten out of hand, please advise.
