huge inventory of klr250 parts for sale

[revmaaatin]

Found this on ebay. Appears to be an inventory of military KLR250 parts; judging by the color of the wheels and hubs, etc. and the packaging of the parts.   Located in Etobicoke Ontario; they are accepting bids, so... might be a good deal for someone near Niagara Falls, NY if it could be bought right. shrug. and you liked KLR250's. grin. m1.     http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kawasaki-Other-KAWASAKI-KLR250-PARTS-KLR650-KMX-AND-MORE-AUCTION-1-/251342806843?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item3a8532df3b&vxp=mtr

Being as I had just put the gas tank back on I was running it to make sure all was good with the " Pulled apart and put back together " gas valve. So, while waiting on it to come up to temp and making sure it was getting gas from both the On and RES settings, I grabbed the Temp gun and took readings at 3 points several times while the fan was cutting on and off to regulate temp. At the Thermostat on the Engine it averaged about 204 to 206 degrees, At the top of the radiator near the cap, 205 to 208 degrees,. At the bottom of the radiator near the temp sending unit that operates the fan, 202 to 204. Just not a lot of difference. 

But, this would all be out the window if you put a fan in front of the radiator or was running down the road. But , I've never had my bike hot enuff for the fan to come on on the highway,. but have in town or slow trail stuff. 

You're gonna have to really get techo to get super precise readings with all kinds of leads and precision stuff ( like I had offshore at times ) to get it down to the degree. 

Oh yea,. the old '00 KLR is John Deere Gloss Green now.  LOL! Talk about can't miss it in traffic.
