something to keep the klr up during the winter.

Gak, I don't see the KLR surviving long with that lunk of steel strapped on.
More importantly I don't think your bike will run with it attached. I think
it will be too ashamed to be seen in public and will thus simply refuse to
run!

That site above turns a lot of motorcycles into trikes for
$ 4,000.00 plus. Now here is what I am thinking about

That company has a trailer that you put together and cost with
shipping would be about $ 260. bucks.
If you took off the trailer tounge and and added some braces
that would attach near the passenger pegs and to the front of
the frame do you think it would work for short trips around town
and a 2 mile trip to work. Those wheels on the trailer are for
high speed.

Hey-
My Neutral light started flickering while I was riding the other day,
and now it's stuck on. Any troubleshooting suggestions?
Thanks!

rallyrabbit,
You don't say which year bike and I'm not familiar with the post 2007
models. But I'll guess for this purpose they are the same as the earlier
bikes.
I think I'd try disconnecting the green wire from the neutral switch just
in front of and below the front sprocket. See if that makes a
difference. If it turns off the light then I think the problem is with
either the switch or inside the engine. If the light remains on then the
problem is with the wiring.
Let us know what you find.
Best,
Jeff Saline

When the transmission is in neutral, there is a small sensor that
provide a ground to the lamp circuit and causes the bulb to light. The
pickup sensor is behind the sprocket cover, and the wire lead to this
is the light green single wire there (the stator and ignition trigger
wires also come up from behind the sprocket cover).
So, if the neutral light is coming on when the bike is not in neutral,
its most likely because that light green wire is grounding out
somewhere along its path. Best places to check would be behind the
sprocket cover, and under the tank where wires are sometimes crimped
or chaffed.
Thats all I gots.
