My ride was prone to stuttering in hot, clear weather - especially at high altitude here in Colorado. After doing the vent mod a Y vent for what ever its worth the situation didn't disappear but became rare. I can't prove it but it may be that when the pavement heats up, the vent tube which rides close to said pavement doesn t breath as well. The alternate tube which in my case rides much higher, is not effected - as much - by the high altitude sun. Do the mod; it's cheap and effective.

Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: T-vent WHY a T?
Redundancy thats why..
Gives the bugs two places to pack larve into..
Actually the lower one will be blocked by water in a deep water incursion, the other end up under the seat stands a better chance of allowing the carb to vent. Can also happen in heavy rain on the road.
