T-Mod: http://www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html#knownissues I had the same problem, it was the first mod I did on my KLR. It's also the easiest. I thought that it was only an issue with deep water crossings, but it happens in the rain, too. Mike James Morrow Sr wrote:

I'm guessing that the carb breather tube is getting clogged with water. This is the translucent pink tube that runs from the top left side of the carb and runs down near the rear shock and then vents from the bottom of the bike. This is a common problem. The fix is easy and inexpensive. Arrowhead motorsports sells a "T" connector that splices into the vent line a few inches from where it meets the carb. One side of the "T" runs down the normal path and the other runs under your seat. This allows the carb to breathe even if water from puddles splashes up and clogs the line under the bike. You can also get a plastic "T" or "Y" connector and plastic tubing that will work at most automotive or hardware stores for a few bucks at most.

When I run my KLR in the rain, it starts to cut out intermittently. On the highway seems to keep going but stalls long enough to loose allot of speed. The last time in rain, on slow backroads, actually stopped motor going down hill. Restarted right away. For some reason going down hill cut out more. Never does this in dry. I bypassed the clutch switch, but have not gotten to the kickstand switch. Anyone know of anything else to check, to fix. -- James Morrow Sr Union, MO '00' RT + dual plug + Bunkhouse '00' BUSA + 15hp '05' KLR650 + big fun factor [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Archive Quicksearch at: http://www.angelfire.com/ut/moab/klr650_data_search.html List sponsored by Dual Sport News at: www.dualsportnews.com List FAQ courtesy of Chris Krok at: www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html Member Map at: http://www.frappr.com/dsnklr650 Yahoo!
