Is there a parts list for a carb rebuild so I can get gaskets, o-rings,
diaphrams etc before hand?
Lazy minds want to know

does the Air Cut-Off Valve diphram come in a carb rebuild kit?

I have tried for years to find a "carb rebuild kit" no one even seems
willing to put one together if you ask. Let me know if you find a
good complete rebuild kit.

In 11 years of KLR ownership (and my fleet has included some ancient,
well-loved KLRs), I have yet found the need to rebuild a carb. Aside
from having one carb that had a shot throttle plate (tons of play but
the bike still ran fine) the only part I have ever *had* to replace
was a deceleration diaphragm/plunger. Although several people have
had mishaps with them, even the slide diaphragm is generally reliable
for decades.
So basically, only replace trouble parts as needed. Popping on decel
is no biggie if the bike is otherwise running fine. First try the
pilot screw adjustment that Dooden mentioned. Also, make sure your
exhaust connections are tight and leak-free.

A KLR is *supposed* to look battered. A KLR that looks all shiny and
s**t is almost heresy. I mean, what next, you want to *wash* the
beast?! (Mine is still proudly carrying around Death Valley sand and
gravel from last year, heh!).
