lean surge after airbox mod?

[crawdad185]

My bike stalls when I brake real hard, or rather it does about 75% of the time. I've been practicing some pretty fast quick stops with it, and it will stall right as the bike comes to a stop just about every time. It doesn't do it on a normal stop, just under hard braking. My idle speed is set at around 1200-1300 RPM. Can anyone suggest things for me to check. Thanks, Ron

I would suggest you check the float level. It's in the manual if you have one. MarkB

Yes, pull in the clutch lever. -----Original Message----- From: crawdad185 [mailto:crawdad185@...] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 5:57 PM To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_klr650] Stalling when braking hard My bike stalls when I brake real hard, or rather it does about 75% of the time.

Gee thanks, but the clutch lever was pulled in.

Float bowl level wrong? Idle mixture (it's normal for the mixture to get a little richer under hard braking as the fuel sloshes against the front of the bowl. I had an SR500 that did this, it was jetted VERY rich. Once I got the jetting straightened out it cleared it up. -- Devon Brooklyn, NY A15-Z '01 KLR650 '81 SR500 cafe racer "The truth's not too popular these days....."

Perhaps the float level in the carb is low ? Gas slings into the front area of the carb stopping hard and it stalls the motor maybe ? Dooden A15 Grean Ape

Thanks Mark. I was thinking that also, but wasn't sure. I've got the manual. --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "dumbazz650" wrote:

That stall can also be a symptom of a tight exhaust valve.

And we all know a tappy valve is a happy valve... Dooden A15 Green Ape

Valves were adjusted by the dealer back in February, but I don't know how tight he set them. Actually I was a little reluctant to leave it with him as all I saw in the shop was a bunch of kids that didn't even look like they were out of highschool. I'll check those myself this weekend just to make sure. Someone suggested turning up the idle which I think I'll do. Mine seems to be idleing a little low. If that doesn't do it, I'll go in and check float level. Thanks all. Ron
