filters nklr

That's why I picked a filter with a more-than-adequate flow rate. I don't
need to lean out the bike, so if it flows more than the carb needs, I'll be
good.

What about fuel filters? I don't like the small ones made for for
motorcycles. I put one on my Suzuki GS1100E. Shortly after, I decide to get
on it hard. after a couple redline shifts the bike started cutting out, so I
backed off the throttle. As long as I rode normally it ran fine. When I got
home my nice shiney new header had turned a lovely shade of blue. A sure
sign of lean fuel mixture. I blame the restricted flow of fuel, that only
has gravity to get it through the filter, and to the carbs. I know the KLR
is only feeding one carb, but I don't want to starve it. I figured the only
way to get good filtering, and good flow was to use the largest inline
filter I could find. Any thoughts, or better ideas.
