carb compatibility?

Post by Eric J Foster » Fri Sep 09, 2011 7:10 am

Dunno about compatibility, and yes I would agree that a replacement carb (if properly adjusted) would cure the ills, but that is an expensive fix for something that could most likely be fixed for free. The carbs on our bikes are an amazingly simple machine faking us into believing they are doing an amazingly complicated task. I'm just stubborn enough to want to learn the carb and find out what is wrong. It has to be something simple. If it worked before you took it apart (and before the diaphragm failed), then logic says it has to work if you get everything back. If it won't start, then it is the pilot circuit. Get the info for the carb. Find out how many turns out on the air or fuel screw (I don't know this carb) and float settings, return them to stock so you have a starting point. Do you smell fuel from the exhaust? If so, it is rich. No smell? Too lean. Is the carb even getting fuel? E

Yeah, the DL1000 can get you into trouble very easily. Last Sunday, 405 Freeway Northbound by LAX airport. Belly full of Fish n Chips and "Shoot to Thrill" on my headphones, just cruisin' along... at 95MPH. I have to use the throttle lock to keep me out of the supra-legal speed range. It just "wants" to go fast. ;-)

The 07 and earlier alternator is capable of 192 watts, which means there is about 70 watts free to power electrical equipment. The conventional wisdom has always been that this is enough for some heated clothing or high-powered lighting, but not both. I imagine you could stretch that a bit with Led lighting, and maybe a bit more with HID lighting, which draws less than a conventional headlight. I have always been able to power a heated Aerostich liner with my 98, but have not tried to do more than that, like heated handgrips or gloves. The last I heard, the Electrex/Electrosport stators had pretty consistently failed to live up to their promise; that is to say, there is a lot of info out there about unsuccessful, even disastrous experiences, and very little to be heard from satisfied customers. That does not mean there are not some of those out there, happily cranking out extra watts, but I would like to hear more success stories before shelling out a few hundred bucks.

high output stator?

Post by Mark Harris » Sat Sep 10, 2011 10:52 am

My 07 KLR liked a Moose Racing higher output stator. Stock stator did not like my Gerbing jacket liner(77 watts). I have bright Trailtech Equinox aux led lights and a Garmin 60csx as my electric add-on loads. Mark in Nevada. Sent from my iPhone
