David, Here is a CT cross section of the KLR head. You can see where the drain hole leads straight into the spark plug hole. http://www.flickr.com/photos/84373829@N00/6107730840/in/photostream Darren Clark

See photo linked below for what I'm talking about. If that's what this is, how do you unplug it? I tried to blow compressed air into this and it's definetly plugged. > > http://www.flickr.com/photos/9992563@N08/6106655143/ > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > ------------------------------------ > > List Sponsors - Dual Sport News: http://www.dualsportnews.com > Arrowhead Motorsports: http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com > List FAQ courtesy of Chris Krok: http://www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html > Member Map: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DSN_KLR650/app/peoplemap/view/map > Group Apps: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DSN_KLR650/grouplets/subscriptionsYahoo!

Genius! -----Original Message----- From: eddie Sent: Friday, September 02, 2011 1:59 PM To: KLR650 list Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Turn/Brake Light conversion kit Feel like tinkering? I made my own "kit" using red LED lights found at the local auto parts store. Run the LED (+) wires back through the signal stalks and connect into the tag light wire. This is the nifty part: Connect the LED (-) wire to the turn signal's (+) wire. Yes, ground the LED to the positive wire. Here's what happens: signal off? The LED is illuminated by the hot wire from the tag and grounded through the turn signal. The signal bulb remains off. Signal on? The LED loses it's ground every time the signal blinks and the signal works normally. I put two LEDs per signal assembly for about $10 total. The LEDs I got had the step-down resistors wired inline right near the LEDs themselves. All I had to do was shorten the wire leads as needed while keeping the resistors intact. eddie

Looks interesting; it converts your rear turn signals to running lights (amber) and additional brake lights (red) using LED's that install into your existing turn signal housings.

Yes and no, it's a CT scan of a KLR650 head. The data from the CT scan can be turned into a CAD model, but right now it's just voxel (a pixel is a point in 2D space, a voxel is a volume in 3D space) data set, and it's about 1.5GB in size. I did this a few years ago to see what can be done with the stock head to improve performance, and if there was enough meat in some areas to do any porting.
