Ed, those kinds of problems are difficult because it could be so many things. I just went through a similar experience on my DR and it turned out that because the bike was new to me I had the choke engaged instead of disengaged. On the carb side you have a number of things to check: 1. Good vacuum from the carb to the petcock 2. Good flow of fuel from the petcock 3. At the carb you have: a. float level b. perfectly clean and undamaged jets especially the main c. an unkinked overflow tube d. a perfect diaphragm on the slide e. an unkinked cable to the fuel enricher 4. I had the same symptoms when I was running too large a main but it doesn't sound like this would apply to you. 5. Clean air filter Kurt BTW, I apologize for not recognizing you from your posts at the rally...

Dual Star has piles of inverted White Power forks ready to be modified to fit the KLR. But then I thought about it and came to the conclusion that the KLR forks are just about right. Big meaty inverted forks also weigh more and are harder to work on. With the KLR's spaghetti fork legs, you can build them up for not too much money and have a nice set of light weight suspenders. Gino I guess you likin' dat new fork brace so far huh, Gino? dat brooklyn bum _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp
