Ok, so with the discussion about awakening the bottom end with a Mikuni 38, I picked up a carb and throttle/cable assembly off of Ebay for a good price. Supposedly came off a KLR. Looks to be in very good shape. Haven't checked the jet sizes as yet and it will be a while before I install it. Same carb as on my old KDX400. Lots easier to change jets and adjust the needle. Bunch of winter wood and house honey-dos before I tackle the winter mainentance list 2000 bike - repair stripped drain plug, check fork seal weep, install a pair of 10 watt LED driving lights, replace counter shaft seal, o-ring, and collar (intermittent minor leak all last year), probably check suspension/steering head bearings. 2004 backup bike needs fork seal work. The 2000 is the major trip bike with full Ricor treatment, relocated footpegs, and all the other typical upgrades.

I am looking for a mechanic in the Smithfield, NC area (Between Raleigh and Fayetteville). I have a 2007 and need a valve adjustment and maybe some other other minor work. Any ideas?
