Three weeks in a Grocery store parking lot???? Where in the world do you live????? Around here,that sucker wouldn't have lasted the night!! ;-/ Well, anyway,I wouldn't give up on it yet. If you have the patience to disassemble,then reassemble your bike to get it home-you can figure out a carb. problem. Good luck! Gary Ott

The manual says to run the forks at atmospheric pressure. Do you run a risk of blowing fork seals at pressures above 0 psi? Has anyone run pressure calculations on the KLR forks? You know, pressure at 1", 2", .... compression. Hmm, probably wouldn't be hard mounting a pressure gauge where the Schrader valves are..... If we knew the peak operating pressure of the forks it might help judging what a safe maximum "precharge" pressure would be. Van has been running 5 psi with no problems...... Brad A9
