I'm going nuts trying to cure this off-idle problem on my 98 KLR. Here's the symptom: the transition from a closed throttle position to a slightly open throttle (say 1/8 throttle) is very abrupt. Like turning a switch on and off. This makes it quite tricky to use engine braking descending a hill as the bike wants to lurch forward when I re-apply the throttle. Likewise, rolling the throttle completely off is like hitting the kill switch. The bike has stock exhaust with K&N. Dynojet needle on the third clip. Mixture screw out 2 1/2 turns. I've gone all the way down on the clip and have set the mixture screw as much as 3 turns out (maximum recommended by Dynojet) and the symtom remains. The bike otherwise pulls strong as the throttle is opened up. Any suggestions or should I just try and live with this? steve
