[dsn_klr650] supertrap ear/steering stem bearing adjust
I installed a Supertrapp EAR this morning. WOW! What a difference a simple
swap can make. No more swiss-cheese tweety bird chasing me around. Now my
bike actually sounds like a thumper...thump thump thump.
Seat-o-the pants response is making for a very happy-ass. Much stronger pull
above 5K rpm. Smoother at lower revs too. Of course with back pressure from
the closed cap muffler I can really hear the lean backfire. Gotta drill out
the plug on the mixture screw next week (no time this weekend). I'll do that
in tandem with a much needed valve check. (5K miles and been putting it off
for about 2K). I'm running 6 discs per the instructions adnit feels right
(except for that backfire). No problems with fit like other listers have
reported with the IDS2 model.
I also adjusted the steering stem bearing (that li'l bastard was loose by
about 1.5 turns!). Maybe that explains the side to side slap-back wobble I
was getting on the highway last weekend. Now the only annoying noise left on
my bike is the rattlin' Givi tailbox.
