filters nklr

That's why I picked a filter with a more-than-adequate flow rate. I don't need to lean out the bike, so if it flows more than the carb needs, I'll be good. -----Original Message----- From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rick McCauley What about fuel filters? I don't like the small ones made for for motorcycles. I put one on my Suzuki GS1100E. Shortly after, I decide to get on it hard. after a couple redline shifts the bike started cutting out, so I backed off the throttle. As long as I rode normally it ran fine. When I got home my nice shiney new header had turned a lovely shade of blue. A sure sign of lean fuel mixture. I blame the restricted flow of fuel, that only has gravity to get it through the filter, and to the carbs. I know the KLR is only feeding one carb, but I don't want to starve it. I figured the only way to get good filtering, and good flow was to use the largest inline filter I could find. Any thoughts, or better ideas.
