Re: Stock 1997 KLR 650,
In recently working on and fixing my Carburetor problem, I discovered a wire that has me scratching my head, wondering what the heck it is. The wire comes from front side of the thin wedge shaped part of the air cleaner box, right in front of battery (I think that's the left side of air cleaner box). This wire, or tube with copper looking core goes behind top shock mount over to what looks like a seam on the air cleaner box. It is also very brittle and mine broke with very little pressure. I got zero measurements on volt meter when engine was running, and zero measurement on my om meter.
Anyone else ever notice such a phenomena? I'm am totally stumped as to what this wire (or wire looking thing) is. I also wonder if it's important. ... Can anyone confirm I'm not seeing things unique to just my KLR and/or tell me what this wire (or wire looking thing) is?
Happy Trails, Bill
