But, if you want to fix the bike and keep the vacuum/pressure flowing correctly, you may do the following. Remove your seat. See the two elbows coming from the back of your tank? Plug the red one. (Right side) I use a short piece of tube plugged with silicone. For the blue one, (Left side) run an appropriate length of breather tube, down through the frame hole (where the original hoses were routed) zip tie it to the other breather tubes down there under the bike. Find the vacuum hose tee that feeds a vacuum line to the front top of your carburetor (white). Remove that line, and the line running from the back of the fuel petcock. Now run a line from the front top of the carburetor (white) and connect it to the rear of your fuel petcock. Now your bike will run trouble free without the emissions equipment and your tank won't pressurize on you. See the KLR650 Supplement page 2-3. Hope this helps. Jim Sherlock

With cager fools merging from the left and the right, sometimes at once. Boy, I'll never forget those two years. In that place, there is no safe lane. Then you just gotta ride in combat defensive mode with ultra swivel head. I know there are other great places to play dodge the cager. However, to really experience it, I think ya gotta try it in Tulsa. (Except you New York metropolitan folks, you got enough on your plate as it is LOL) Jim Sherlock

Everything is a situation! When I lived in Tacoma and was commuting to Seattle daily, Seattle and the Puget Sound cracked the top five for worst traffic in the nation, I think it was 3rd or 4th, don't remember. Perhaps it was safer, because nobody was moving! Jeff

"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government, they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten, that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time it is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage." -- H. L.

It's a little dated, but still valid. In addition to opposing the massive closure(Roadless Initiative) you may care to stand up for reversing the Seqouia Monument declaration(totally unconstitutional). This attach offers many ways in which you may choose to have your voice heard. The future is now........... Slide << Message: Dual Sport Update >>
