[dsn_klr650] exhaust system to power up without lots of repacki
If’n I kin put a jet in ma scooter, how hawrd kin ut bee? Someone recently posted, “It’s more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow” (or something like that). Not that the KLR is slow, but you see the point. (rite on top uf ma hed!) John Gutekunst KLR650A13 j_gutekunst@... -----Original Message-----

[b]Subject:[/b] [DSN_klr650] exhaust system to power up without lots of repacking, etc... i made the terrible mistake of demo'ing an Aprilia SL1000 Falco over the
weekend. Oh my gawd what a motor! i realize that a klr is not ever going to
be a monster-bike like that, but for the first time i'm starting to think it
might not be a bad idea to rejet my bike to coax a few more horses out of
it. I know i've always said "if i want to go faster, i'll just buy a bigger
bike," but i'm now trying to avoid doing so, despite my new obsession.
on the other hand, i don't want spend a ton of money, do a ton of work to
customize it so it'll actually fit, and then have a finicky exhaust system
that i have to repack all the time (whatever repacking is). i'm putting
about 1500 miles a month on my A14, so i'd like to keep the periodic
maintenance to a minimum. i've read lots of horror stories about how poor
the worksmanship is on many of the aftermarket exhaust setups.
so here are my questions:
1) is there any consensus on the best fit and finish and durability among
the exhaust systems currently out there for the klr?
2) is a reasonably intelligent person going to be able to work on his
carburetor and install a jet kit without screwing everything up? so far i've
been able to adjust valves, and change tires and sprockets without
catastrophe, but i've never done a darn thing to a carburetor in my life.
advice? do i need special tools or training or equipment?
thanks for the help.

[dsn_klr650] exhaust system to power up without lots of repacki
Hi,
Ride a 62 hp Honda XR 650 L, just a tad quicker! If you can stay on it. Most
fun is riding a fast bike fast, then calling it a bit sort of slow when you
are waiting for the rest of the guys to turn up.
I jest, my KLR keeps me sane, happy and in one piece.
Regards,
Brian
