myclaydaddy, I think your fuel problem is electrical. : ) You don't mention if the recall for the wiring harness has been taken care of. If so then maybe it's something else but... no sputtering says to me it's not fuel and is electrical. Kind of like turning the key to the off position. The engine just stops. Take it for a ride and turn the fuel off. Do that in a low traffic area where coming to an unexpected stop won't endanger you or others. Then see how a fuel delivery problem acts. Electrical and fuel delivery issues exhibit quite different symptoms. If you aren't comfortable around the electrical system and getting to it the dealer should be able to take a look for you. I understand the electrical is for the main wiring harness rubbing through up near the steering head. I also understand you have to pull the fuel tank to check it out and may have to really dig to find the abraded wires. Good luck, Jeff Saline What Jeff said. heck the archives for a number of posts describing exactly what you're experiencing. Bite te bullet and have the recall done. Take "before" pix in case they damage your bike if you must. Steve Strader, Ukiah, CA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I like the black color, but Sweet Jeebus! $7600! I hope that there are some substantial discounts/incentives. For that price, you get a slightly used Hayabusa (the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden extensively). I'm sure there could be some KTMs in that price range too, if you wanted to stick with a similar bike to the KLR. BUT - I am jaded by the notion that bikes are cheap and fun transportation. I couldn't tell you where the line goes for "cheap", but over $4000, it better be something I really want and in spotless condition. -----Original Message----- From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Martin Open this link, you will get the picture-- http://newproductlaunch.kawasaki.com/Products/Overview.aspx?productid=433&fe atured I think, I might have drank the koolaid. or at the very least, I smell black kaw's.
