In the earlier post,  you did not mention if there was water in the crankcase...can't help but think water got in in some form if it was up to the windshield, ie through the airbox and breather back into the crankcase; at least that is what I picture in my mind.I think I would be tempted to change the oil and filter again 2x to make sure you don't have any fine grained soil in  your bike. I had a friend that reclaimed (HIGH END) flooded cars and he did diesel fuel flushes of the engine/crankcase.He also did a complete electrical component exchange, probably not necessary on the KLR, but it  is what he did. Perhaps someone else might comment on flushing the engine; I have seen bikes ridden in to the water and flooded, which is worse because water is sucked into the bike.Usually you see the bike hanging from a back wheel and the spark plug removed...not an easy task on the KLR, and water draining out the pipe, etc. Please keep us updated on the progress or reversals.  Can you post any pictures?Sounds a lot like an episode from the series, "Then came Bronson."m1.
