[dsn_klr650] windshield hardware?

Sounds electrical. Possible that the vibration characteristics at that rpm could vibrate a connection enough for momentary electrical shutoff. I'd start with the battery connections, and the side stand switch, (is the sidestand spring strong enough to hold the stand up at speed?), and work through the connections on the coil, etc. Also look for abraded wiring that could vibrate against the frame and short out (though my experience is that these more often short with the lower frequency vibrations at idle). Good luck and keep us posted. Todd A9 When the bike reached 4.500 rpm it started missing and backfiring violently it was ok below this rpm and ok after 5000 if you can manage to get it past 5000 without going over the bars.

I had a similar experience around that speed. It turned out that I was low on fuel (just went to reserve) and it was hot out which in combination created too much pressure in the tank and the bike was starving for fuel at higher speeds. Once I was off the highway, it did fine. When I parked it, I opened the gas tank and it was like opening a coke can that's been shaken up! I filled the tank and took it back out, no problems. Just a thought... Paul A13 "zootpatutie" wrote:

Yeah, I noticed this too, so I only lock the steering to the full right when I have the tall windshield installed. (It's that time of year when I take it off and go back to the stock shield.) You will never reach full left turn when riding, even in low speed parking lot maneuvers. Or, you can remount your throttle with the cables going down instead of up. Jeff
