Chris, I have not read to the end of the thread; apologies if someone else suggested this already... Are the cams in 'time'? Is the dohickey adjusted properly? When I picked up a 20K mile, 1998 new to me KLR650 in 5/08, the bike was buzzier than my 01. During the tec day following the trip home, we discovered the the exhaust was one tooth out of proper timing with the intake cam. Will it make it buzzier? shrug. Could be. Certainly won't make it smoother. I know that after nearly 2K miles of riding it from Dallas, Texas to central SD via Omaha, etal, then onward to a Rapid City tec day (ride in the snow, or wrench...) --valves checked and the dohickey upgraded to a torsion spring, the bike was seat-of-the pants smoother, and mechanically quieter. shrug.... seemed so to me. It also had the protaper bars installed by the PO. All those items have some bearing on the vibes. Gel grips = good farkle as well. revmaaatin.> > Thanks.
