<><><><><><><> <><><><><><><> Mark, Wattman did the first grease zerks as far as I remember. I think he has a write up on his webpage. I haven't heard of any big issues. I kind of recall a few guys commented about putting them in at a different angle or something so they wouldn't be around rocks and such in a tough ride. I haven't done this to my KLR as in my experience, once the bearings are greased they seem to stay greased.

Mark: I did it but I keep knocking the one off on the lowest part of the 3-lobe unit. I now have to go back in drill / tap it for the next larger size and put a plug in it. When I want to grease it, I'll take the plug out, thread a zerk in, then re-install the plug. So, is it worth it or not? I would say that it might be better to just put it on a routine maintenance program than make a permanent change (drilling holes). Don R100, A6F

Google KLR650 22 cent mod. It's pretty straight forward. You drill the slide, put a tiny washer under the needle and then play with the slow mixture screw a tad. Benefits? No off-idle stumble, a bit quicker throttle response. Cons? Just gotta be careful with the choke cable fitting and not break it off while moving the carb around. eddie

pissing gas out the overflow. since i have to rip the carb apart again i have heard about a $0.22 mod by putting a washer some place. is there a link somewhere to the process and is there any pros or cons to making the mod.
