1st gear klunk
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2000 4:28 pm
I'm relieved to hear that my KLR isn't the only one to klunk into first on
the initial shift of the day. In fact, it will sometimes kill the engine on
the first shift. It is annoying, but I can live with it.
I'm going to dump the Honda 20W-50 I put in last night and try some Kawasaki
10W-40 oil tomorrow. I noticed that the old oil was black as the ace of
spades. The new oil became black in the sight window shortly after starting
the engine. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm considering an engine flush
with cheap oil and a quick run. Any comments?
