2008 klr650 tall windscreen

Post by Gary LaRue » Sat Apr 05, 2008 8:15 am

Hi TC; When I went looking for a taller windshield, I wanted one with the curved lip on top. Since Kawasaki's 4" taller windshield did not have that (and not knowing about Arrowhead) I decided to buy one through Twisted Throttle which did have the curved top. (Good and timely service, by the way, and good followup when there was a problem which was not of their making.) With the stock windshield, the wind would strike just about at my adams apple then flow directly into full face helmet and over my face. On cold mornings my nose and eyes would both run. Since I put on the new one, it strikes just BARELY above the lower rim of the helmet. It is somewhat quieter and somewhat more comfortable, but I am still not satisfied. I will be buying the tallest one I can get later on. Hope this helps; Lash [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

problems physically putting battery back in back

Post by jonblak12321 » Sat Apr 05, 2008 3:12 pm

I had to get a new battery. I got a $34 at a local bike shop that has the same numbers as the original. They charged it for me and I attempted to put it back in the bike but I forgot how it goes. Currently I have it where the positive pole is faceing forward and out while the negative pole is towards the inner workings of the bike. I am having trouble putting the plastic cover over the battery and the drain tube is on the inside where I cannot get to it. Does that drain tube fit into the big black one that is towards the bottem of the bike where the metal piece that fits with the plastic piece holds the battery in. I am having troubeled describing this so please forgive. Thanks. PS The bike fired right up after 6 months of sitting idle with a full thank of gas. Are there any issues I sould be aware of with a bike that has sat for so long?? JOhn Black
