I bought a battery real cheap that shipped dry (I was aware of this). I have pure sulfuric acid available and can dilute it with double-distilled, deionized Milli-Q water, but I need to know the final concentration of the acid before I fill the battery. Thanks, Mark [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Not me. Last time I bought a battery dry I took it to my friendly local auto parts place and their battery supplier filled it for free. Chris steve rankin wrote:

Discussing "Power" and any KLR is akin to discussing a "twinkie" and gourmet food.

Everybody knows you carry you spare sprockets on the rack and not in the tank bag! Other than that however I am forced to agree with him,,,,,, the tank bag indeed! The 08/09 has no more hp overall than the 07 as far as I could tell. The difference is in how the power is mapped. I think, from the experience of trying them side by side when I went to buy mine, that the 08 had a smoother power curve. That seemed to make it a little more friendly for those not thinking about it sort of rides but it wont help you escape those traffic lights any faster. Yours has the same power overall but in a few different places I think. By the way, why are the traffic lights after you that you need to get away from them in the first place? Take his suggestion and try a few sprockets, maybe one tooth at a time to see if it gets you what you want. There are some improvements to the 08 and 09 over yours but not so much that you cant mod yours up to have the same. It would also happen for loads less money than dumping yours and dishing out for a new one. Besides, now you have the cool seat, you cant sell it now!
