I had a problem with my '07 starving out of fuel, I traced it to the
vacuum line from the carb to the petcock. It was bent over at a 90 deg
angle during assy at the factory I guess, pinching off the vacuum
supply. I looped it over in a arc and plugged the line to my Ca.
emissions system, I left the emissions connection open to atmospere
while I put another 100 miles on it, seems to fine now.
Is there a non vacuum petcock that I can install to simplify things,
the stock unit looks very similar to the one on my sons PW-80, (very
non vacuum).
PS Any KLR's in Santa Clarita let's meet up and ride the canyons and
forest roads.
Thanks Keith in the SCV

Careful even startling them. I zoomed close to the door of an old
beat up pickup all over the road one night about 11:00 PM on my old
H1 Kawasaki probably startling him as he was drunk. A block or 2
later, he ran over my ass ........... and left the scene. It is
rather disheartening to be flying through the air after being hit on
a bike hoping a Mercedes or Cadillac just hit you only to find an old
beat up pickup leave the scene as you hit the ground. Reality. I
still think the ass was trying to come close to me to scare me as
maybe I did him ......... but ....... er ...... he probably saw 3 of
me and didn't know which to aim for. They caught him but penalties
weren't too severe in those days. I don't ride much at night anymore
(and I don't try to startle them or intimidate them).
