> > Darren, > When my footpeg bolts stripped the nuts, I cut the vertical portion off the box where the nuts are. The nuts are VERY shallow square nuts with possibly 2 to 3 threads (square nuts normally indicates that they are very soft, grade 2 or LESS!), so I got 2 = 10 mm grade 8 nuts welded in and the vertical portion re-welded to the frame. I KNOW that welding changes the strength, but I'd much rather START with grade 8 than grade 2...! Since the fix I've had no problems including a 12,500 km trip to Alaska and Inuvik last summer, and I can tighten them way more than the stocker's 12.5 pound-feet! > Ed >

Jeff....Thanx for the info on my problem....I haven't noticed the hiccup lately as the temps have been in the 100's .... When I rode to work this morning    it was still in the 80's and it wasn't giving me any problems....It seems that I notice it more when it's cold, so WHEN and IF It ever cools down around    here I'll try and raise it a notch and see if it makes a difference....I've heard that some guys use a KLX needle ....How does it compare to the Dynajet    needle ?? And how does the .22 cent mod and the drilled slide mod work ???  I like the gas mileage but I've heard that some of these mods can effect    it ...     Mike Huber   06 FullyFarkledFrog   Carlsbad, NM where 100* is normal !!!           Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2010 08:35:50 -0700 From: jeff@...

With carbs it's all about throttle position, not so much RPM.  Since you have the K&N, aftermarket pipe and the DynaJet, I would look at a mixture problem. In my experience, the DynaJet needle's taper is a little bit too aggressive, which leads me to think you may be hitting a spot where it's a little too rich.  Try this: Next time you ride it, pay attention to your "hiccup".  If it's not as noticeable when the bike's cold, but gets worse as the bike heats up, then drop your needle a notch and see if that clears it up.  If it's really bad when it's cold, but gets better as it gets warmer, raise it a notch.  If you adjust the needle and it moves the point of the hiccup, pay attention to that as well. I fiddled forever with the DynaJet needles in my old Seca II, and ended up going back to the stock ones.  I never could get it to run smooth through the whole band with the DynaJet needles in there.  The taper was just too aggressive. -Jeff Khoury ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Huber" To: "dsn klr650" dsn_klr650@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, June 6, 2010 9:27:48 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [DSN_KLR650] 06 with the hiccups !!!   My 06 with 25k smiles on the clock has the hiccups !!!!  As I accelerate through 3000 rpms it has a slight hiccup or miss ...It will have the same miss in   all gears as it hits 3000 rpm ...If I shift it above 3000 rpm I don't notice it...I'm running a K&N filter and a Dynajet kit with a after market pipe and   always get no less than 50 mpg ...I add Seafoam to the gas about every 3rd fillup .....Is this a carb adjustment ,pilot jet, or maybe a   diaphram problem ???    Thanx Mike Huber 06 FullyFarkledFrog Carlsbad, NM
