oil -4 or 3 ball testing - klr engine chains

[janclay]

Went exploring today and came across a long deep crossing. Well it didn't look that deep but halfway across the bike started spitting and sputtering and then died. 50 feet of knee deep plus water later I had pushed it out and then started fine. The hour ride home was rather cold though. Clay KLR 650 KLR 250

Is not the "T" vent one of the first mods recommended on the KLR ? I did mine with what I had in the garage, but the material is available just about anywhere that sells automotive stuff. In a pinch you could just pull the tube up outta harms way, but its there for other reasons, aka to drain off excessive fuel (I think) so up high is not a fix either. Dooden A15 Green Ape

I simply cut off about 4" of mine as soon as I bought it. I've got 4,000 miles on it with lots of them in heavy rain. Sometimes I think that people just look for problems so they can buy something else. don

Not to mention that the 3/4-ball test rig has absolutely no meaning when it comes to engine oil performance.
