Not really a traitor, you just like your verity. Now I on the other hand, will be a traitor. As soon as I save up some cash I'm selling the KLR and getting a XR650R and converting it to street use. -----Original Message----- From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ron Crandell Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 2:45 PM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_KLR650] I guess I'm sort of a traitor Yesterday I did the unthinkable.....

At $900 for the electric start kit, I think I can use the exercise. If everything is tuned right and you don't go too nuts with the mods it should kick over easy and with few kicks. A friends has a street legal WR400 and that thing is a bit off on the jetting, it starts up in about 2-3 kicks. Having ordered a new Bat for my KLR and it taking forever to get here the first week of riding was spent kicking over my KLR600, after 1/2 hour of cursing it fired up. I like the XR because it very light, liquid cooled, big after market part selection. -----Original Message----- From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of mudslinger8883 Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 8:09 PM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: I guess I'm sort of a traitor im also thinking of adding a 1000 strom as my main road ride. hey wolfy ...if u get an xr650r u might want to add the e-start kit. watched a guy try and kick one for 10 min be4 it finally fired in daytona this year. i heard they were easy to start ---- guess not. scott

Gary, I bought a 2005 from a dealer here in Washington. I didn't realize until after I got it home that it was a CA model. I asked the dealer about it and was told that they just get sent whatever Kawasaki has. The other 2005's they had did not have the CA emissions stuff.
