On page 85 of my KLR650 owner's manual it says to periodicly clean the spark
arrester in the muffler. It says to remove 3 drain plugs from the muffler.
Start the engine and tap the muffler with a rubber mallet until carbon
particals are purged from the muffler. Do any of you do this? How often?

klr vs nx

Craig,
I currently own a KLR650, bought it about 1 1/2 yrs ago and have racked up
about 5000 miles. A few years ago I traded in my NX650 (for a Concour),
had put about 14,000 miles on it over 6 years, (mostly highway). I have
not riden a NX since 96 and did not go directly from it to the KLR.
However based on what I remember the KLR motor seems much smoother
(especially after a couple of hours on the road). In the power department
the NX seemed to be stronger (IMO).
Good Luck,
Joe
