[dsn_klr650] new tires? & mold release????

[Patrick]

Just completed a 08' engine swap into a 05' Chassis. Have a few issues to resolve. First im having a hard time keeping it running a lot of fuel is shooting out the overflow to the ground. There is a vacuum line that comes off the canister and according to the vacuum hose routing diagram goes to the air cleaner? How about the hose that looks like it comes up through the swing arm and mounts to the side battery cover but plugs into nothing???

Just guessing here: 1) Float stuck up / open 2) Sounds right. Which diagram are you using? That hose is probably not critical to anything. 3) Probably for a wet battery overflow. Some batteries don't have them. Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> Patrick, If the fuel line from the petcock is connected to the carb vent instead of the fuel inlet it will allow fuel to flow out the actual fuel inlet which might have the carb vent line connected to it. The carb vent is the upper connection on the left side of the carb and the fuel inlet is the lower connection on the left side of the carb. Sounds like a CA emissions chassis since it has a canister. I don't know where that plumbing goes. The hose on the left side that mounts to the side of the battery cover is normally for a stock/lead acid battery vent. If you have a different kind of battery it probably isn't needed.

I noticed on the 09 Carb I put on my '00 that there was two feeds off the carb. Not sure where the carb come from as per emission needs. I just plugged one of them , no problems. The reason I put on the other carb was I got it cheaper than it would of cost me for a throttle slice with diaphram and the anti backfire valve diaphram.

I have heard of "chopping the throttle", but "throttle slice" is a new one on me.

If he is on an iPad, iPhone or Mac, sometimes it changes the spelling or words in what it thinks you are trying to say...or maybe it is intentional to make you look stupid (speaking from experience). Criswell

To Fred's point, always, always, always scrub the tires for 50-100 miles before mote aggressive driving.

Date: Thu, Oct 18, 2012 8:19 pm Is this the same guy that gave you the wonderful chain advice? :-/ You can call it what you want but all the tires I sell here come with a shiny slick finish. They don t grip well until they look dull gray. Anytime you make a change to your bike you should take it easy for a time to be sure of any handling differences. New tires especially should be watched for about 100 miles or until they have that gray look.

I heard the sales-man at BMW say, They no longer use a mold release agent on tires, therefore, you do not have to be carefull the first 100 +- miles. (& wet roads) Yet just last yr. I was warned about it. Add opinions here, .........................
