I could send you my change jar, But I would end up using the money in it, to pay for shipping, and all you would end up with is a Change JAR. LOL  On Tuesday, June 23, 2015 8:20 PM, "'Norm Keller' normkel32@... [DSN_KLR650]" DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

[Stephen H. Reichman]

I can related with that dislike (with a capital "D") of battery placement. One solution I'm using is I have a lead coming from the positive side of my coil. It is covered properly all the time until needed. It is the same gauge wire and an automotive battery lead. When I need to jump start. I remove the cap from my positive lead, connect positive jumper cable connector to my new positive lead and negative jumper connector to my shifter shaft and jump start. Been on the bike several years and used it 2 or 3 times. No side panel or seat removal. A friend and very motorcycle mechanically savvy Harley rider showed me this solution he's used on his bike for years. The lead stays tucked behind my center stand lifter handle. ...another solution to consider. Ride safe my friends! Sent from my iPhone

Eddie, I must stand with you on this mountain we shall die, see I have hard cases on my KLR and I have to dissemble the entire mountain brackets and all to get to the battery. Royal PIA! The solution I have, every vehicle I own, KLR included has an external 2 pine SAE connector (battery tender plug) along with a little kit of adapters, including one for a USB plug, my tire pump, a set of mini jumper cables, and a lighter plug. And things like my generator and battery charger and such all have the same plug. This means not having to tear things apart if only a dead battery, being able to run portable things like my phone charger off anything, and many hassles saved over the last 4 years since I came up with this. Now let's discuss the insanity of the BMW $1000 drive shaft on the adventurer model that they made about 1/4 in different than all the other bikes with same system, ugh! Michael

Jumping is simpler if one connects to the battery cable on the starter relay, FWIW. My objections are: - the location of the fuses on top of the battery which are easily relocated to near the side stand switch. Seat is easy to modify to slide off but why not from factory? I cut the mounting ears to form hooks, install shoulder bolts in place of the standard bolts and place a big pad of Velcro onto the inner fender/seat area. Works a treat.   -that the headlight fuse is fed from the brown wire which is daffy because the less important components such as horn and turn signals are protected from the headlight circuit rather than the reverse. I'd rather lose the horn or signals than the headlight....   -the white wire circuit...don't get me started... - that silly loop which places the Gen2 rear brake hose into a perfect snag position.   -plastic engine guard???? Why?   - the almost certain to rip off, license plate mounting which is, IMO, dangerous.   - bowl vent...on both generations   - clutch cable should be larger in diameter, IMO.   - needs the KLR600 rear shock gravel shield from factory...or at least a rubber flap.   -195 F thermostat + by pass passage as every modern automotive and bike.   - Side stands need larger flat feet rather than the small ones with the rim. Gen2 seems to be too high.   - front brake master cylinder bore could be 1 mm smaller.   - why not use the Versys front caliper on Gen2 rather than the smaller double piston which has the same piston area as the Gen1?   - fuel filler cap should push to latch without key so (PITA) key doesn't have to be used to close and relatch.   Of course an even worse decision would be to have me design the KLR.  Tongue in cheek for me as these are suggestions for improvement in most cases rather than strong complaints. Great thread idea.
