Sorry to sound like a grumpy old man (Which I am) but PLEASE, when replying to a previous post it is not necessary to repost every previous comment!
The latest series between Mike and Jeff...."Running out of Gas on the Freeway..etc"
was a perfect example of needless copy!!

I get grumpy as hill at times, and I am not very
proficient with computers and all that, but you can
program your yahoo so that it will not endlessly
repeat whole messages over and over and over again.
If I did it, it must be very simple. Please...!
About the problems lately with bikes dying while
riding..bring a horse..change the vacuum petcock to a
normal petcock? Clean the tank, and then use seafoam
or equivalent. Eliminate te sidestand knock-off, and
the relay that controls the other relay, the starting
relay. Humidity and green corrosion iside the
connecting plugs? Clean the carb? Learn Arabic or
French? My KLR is still waiting for my attention,
after sudden unpredictible battery failures, that come
and go at will, not mine. I am getting tired of the
thing, and I am starting to consider getting rid of
it. Not a good thing to say on this list.

Yes, I think you should do that, ASAP.

Hey Folks,
Just spoke to Fred at Arrowhead and he tells me that I should post a
message here and avail myself of all your expertise.
The subject line is where I'll start. This old bike only has about
3400 original miles. Hasn't been ridden since 1991. Belonged to my
brother, he blew a fork seal and just parked it. Brought it home
with me about a year ago, got her running and am hoping to find at
least one very tough to come by item.
I understand that Acerbis did at one time make an oversize fuel tank
for this model. I've got feelers out in a few areas, but nothing
solid yet. If anyone out here has a line on where I can find a tank
in good shape, please contact me at lifeline00@... or (541)
923-2700. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.
As an aside, I got here from Googling and ran across an individual
named Pippo from Italy that made reference to this tank in a
different forum. If Pippo is still out here or if someone knows how
to contact him, please have him contact me also. Thanks again!!!
