oem exhaust

[norwestguy_2002]

I have an OEM header and muffler for KLR 6 fiddys. If anyone out there needs one make an offer. I live in the Denver area. I'll let the group have a shot before it goes to fleabay.

My 2007 KLR 650 stops running when i turn the choke completely off. When i leave the choke about a quarter in, the bike runs fine and idles at 1200rmp. Turing the choke more in increases the idle. Does that mean that my jets are clogged? What should i adjust? The idle screw should be 2 1/4 turns out right? Thanks for your help -- David Z mobile: 646-267-1109 www.davidzmusic.com www.thevanguardband.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

David, If the bike was stored for any length of time and is now not wanting to idle without choke, it likely means the pilot circuit is clogged enough to not supply fuel for idle. Opening the "choke" is actually opening an enrichment circuit that is compensating for the deficiency. Before you go all out and take the carb apart to clean it or have it cleaned, try this > [Original Message] > From: david zawadzki > To: KLR Group DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> > Date: 5/5/2012 2:26:22 PM > Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Choke/Idle question > > My 2007 KLR 650 stops running when i turn the choke completely off.

Thanks to all!!! Wow! I put sea foam in the tank but noticed that the rubber seals(with a metal clamp) around the carb were loose. I tightened them and the bike runs perfect - idles at 900-1000. I think that was the issue. I am able to turn the choke off completely. Also I tightened all the bolts on the bike. Some were slightly loose. One of the reasons I got a klr was because of this forum. Everyone is very helpful. Thank to all again. Ps- I bought a bestem 929 top case with led lights and installed it today. Looks good. -David Z mobile: 646.267.1109 www.davidzmusic.com www.thevanguardband.com
