klr farkle you don't own-

[Tom]

I was on a 4 lane highway today and got caught in the rain. The A19 started sputtering, bucking, and I finally had to pull off along side the guard rail. I got it started again and got back on the 4 lane and it started sputtering again. About 3 miles from home it stopped raining and I had no more problems. Anyone have any tips on what to do to make this A19 rain riding worthy????? Tom SW Pennsylvania

Does this shorten the run to the rear so water off the rear tire is not allowed into the line or is this part of the T mod that runs a line up front and to the rear? I can't remember which direction the OEM vent goes nor how far and if to the front or back.

The factory vent line just dangles down to a position just in front of the rear wheel. The problem is that, although it is meant as an overflow tube, it draws a slight suction and when water even a drop or two gets into it, the carb starves, the bike sputters to a stop, and the water runs out. The bike starts right up again. I knew all about the T Mod with my first KLR but didn t do it. Then, on a mud puddle filled backwoods trail, I came to a stop - a couple of times. I did the mod the next day. No problems since, and I ve been in water up to the top of the engine cases (yeah, I know, a lot of you guys have been much deeper!)

I usually can ride most of the winter, but the cold set in earlier, and that's how long it's been since I rode. We didn't go below zero, but it stayed cold all winter. As Spring progressed, March was much colder than usual. I think we've had maybe 3 days over 70 so far this year. None were on weekends. I've been at work a lot, too. The KLR is sitting with a flat rear tire, so I have to fix that (might as well replace the Cheng Shin C858 at the same time) Looks like my first ride of the year will be in California. Leaving Friday, first thing will be to check on the KLR in the shed at my wife's house. It will be a full year again, so I'm wondering if that AGM battery still has any juice. It did last year. Meanwhile, the KLR, Sherpa, ZRX, and Ninja 650 are still in hibernation.

Who is the Grinch who stole Spring? Weather in the Dakota's = 11 months of uncertainty and 1 month of extraordinary uncertainty. And to top that off, this is that '1' month. It has snowed here on the prairie--10 inches past two days and more in the forecast tonight. Tomorrow. and the 3 days following. Floods to the East; it is more like Lake Dakota along the James River (flowing South) and the Red River (North Dakota; flowing N). The extra snow will give them another slug of run-off to areas overwhelmed with water. It has almost been riding wx a couple of days--I have cycled the bikes home from cold storage to home to storage 3x. IT is beginning to feel a little like Ground Hog Day-movie. and Overwhelmed with the dearth of 'list' ride reports as well. Judging by the list traffic, no-one else seems to be riding as well. Maybe they are 'pimping' their ride? While looking at digital tire pressure gages, I find this: http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=162 Here is one farkle that I bet NOBODY has on their KLR. At least nobody has admitted to this usable, 'pimp' device. Although I think it is OEM on Gold Wings, BMW and some HD. revmaaatin. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

The factory line stays as is, no shortening or rerouting, just cut near the carb and insert a T (or a Y or F). Run the new line from the splice along the frame to the metal loom pass through under the tank or under the seat also works.
