Kinda recharged my interest in my 15 year old KLR that I just did turn 40,000 miles on this week.
Last month, I installed the KLX jet kit which really woke up the response in the 3 to 5 k rpm range where I spend most my riding.
Had already advanced the ex cam a notch on the last valve adjustment.
I have a pretty much stock exhaust system with two 1/2" holes drilled in th end cap at about 2 and 5 o'clock looking at it from the rear. Big difference without much more noise.
2 days ago , I installed the ThermoBob2 kits I had been hearing rave reviews about. Gave me a chance to change out the anti freeze even though I had changed it out last year when my shifter pawl spring broke and redid the seals on the water pump while was in there.
Never seen the temp gauge so steady on that bike ,plus, seems to run a bit cooler going though town and very slow back roads .
Been having more fun on the old KLR with roaming local back roads just to see what's there , than ever before.
Might even lead me to selling my '07 Bandit 1250S that I've had all over the country and about 77,000 true miles on it. Sigh!

The engine may in fact be running warmer despite that the temperature gauge shows lower temperature. People usually think that they are looking at a uniform engine temperature which is what is shown by the temperature gauge. In fact, the gauge can show as much as 40 degrees F lower than the pocket around the temperature sensor. The bottom of the cylinder will be close to ambient air temperature. It will be interesting to hear as to whether your mileage and oil consumption improve.

I'll bring my IR Temp gun along next run and do some checks and post what I find.
