Actually, when I let off the trottle at high rpm the revs immediately decreases, but more so than it should normally do, as if the engine completely stalls for a moment. Thereafter it just decelerates normally from engine braking. Besides the slight lack of power, it never behaves strangely under acceleration or at wide throttle openings. It does, however, sometimes hesitate at high rpm's and small throttle openings, as when going down a hill while cruising at say 120km/h. Anyway, I'm dropping the bike off at a dealer today to see if they can solve it. I'll keep you posted on their findings. Thanks, Sef in the RSA Mike Frey wrote:

attempt to describe it again? Are you saying that when you let off the throttle at 5000+ RPM, engine revolutions do not instantly begin to decrease? And then after a second or two, the engine braking kicks in, more than it normally would?

checking valve clearance is very easy. There's one more thing I suggest checking: the carb. While servicing it, you could have dislodged something and it's now causing the slide to stick. This could explain why the bike is a couple seconds slow to throttle down - slide stuck "open" - and the opposite with the sluggish performance - slide stuck "closed".

Uhm, yes, you're correct about that, but he was talking about a leak, not about a missing gasket.

When I had a passenger I used the a piece of the anti slip pad that you put under carpet. It workeds well Brad

And to make matters worse it's pitched forward so much that when I first sat on it in the garage I slid forward up to the tank. To deal with the "slick factor" I bought one of those ATV seat covers at WallyWorld and just attached it over the Corbin with the provided straps. That gives my ass some grip, but the seat is still pitched forward too much for comfort so I'm next going to glue some foam under the front of the seat cover to build it up enough to create a level surface. To tell the truth, though, I'm less concerned about the seating arrangements on the KLR than my other bikes because I don't consider it an all-day-riding bike for other reasons (vibration, lack of power, etc.). --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, Wayne Blackburn wrote: > > Which one of the corbin seats is the best ,flat ,dished or platform.Pros and cons.I just installed a platform and took it for spin. I feels funny at first,but gets better when you slid back .Also its very slick.If you grab a handful of brakes you can crush the boys into the gas tank.Is there any thing that can apply to the seat for better grip. > > > > --------------------------------- > Never miss a thing.
