I put in a carburetor jet kit, and it made a big difference. It was a bit of a pain to put in, but I'd say it was well worth it.

I just spent 2 LONG days on my new (to me) '02 KLR. It was a great trip, from Minneapolis to Chattanooga, but 7 hours of rain yesterday made it pretty miserable. I want to ask about throttle response. I have to turn the grip a full 3/4 of it's ratation before the throttle engages, and when it does it's a very harsh "slam" sort of deal that snaps your head back. If you're careful, and don't have anything else to think about like getting onto the interstate or shifting gears, it's just possible to SLOWLY turn it and get a nice, smooth throttle. But anything like a normal twist (I've had several bikes) and it's really harsh. I've killed it in parking lots several times because it overpowers the clutch unless you're really on top of things. What is the term for this, and where in Clymer's can I read about how to fix it? Thanks Ryan
