Dear Members: Here I go with another crazy question. I have noticed a chriping sound recently coming from the exhaust of my 2004 KLR650. Any ideas as to what it might be and is it anything to worry about? Your response is appreciated. Thad Harris jthiii@...

It's the break-in period indicator. When the sound occurs, it means your bike has completed the break-in process and can now be driven normally. It's sorta like a pop-up timer on a Turkey. Actually, the tweety exhaust is what they call an "undocumented feature." Mark http://www.reelrider.com

Your KLR is in heat. Quick, breed that baby!! It's common, check the FAQ for an easy fix. Thanks Stu Mumford

This is what I use and am very happy with them. I use the dual sport ones, part # 3850. http://www.chaseharper.com/NewHot.htm These really did a job on my side covers in just a few miles. The silver heat sheild material is worse than sandpaper. I'm not sure what to do now. Mark Lewis
