Ok, if you are saying that the heavy lube getting over the brake was a troll then I can deal with that. I did not see how that could be possible, but the original poster did seem pretty clear that he felt he was getting chain lube on his brake. I am surely willing to brave getting caught by a troll to investigate that possibility. Lube on my brakes tends to scare me. -- Doug Herr doug@...

As well it should. Lube on the rotor is more likely a result of overspray when aiming at the chain expecially if you shoot an aerosol at the rear of the wheel sprocket. Even WD-40 will make its way onto the brake rotor and alter stopping power for a while. I clean my rotor with brake cleaner and a paper towel after a chain lube, it only takes seconds. --Jim A-15

Now I just wd-40 then warm the chain then use chain wax. List sponsored by Dual Sport News at www.dualsportnews.com List FAQ courtesy of Chris Krok at: www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html Yahoo!

The pilot screw affects the air fuel mixture when the low speed idle circuit is operating on the bike. This is at part throttle,up to about 3000 rpm. A lean pilot circuit tends to cause twitchiness in the throttle and overreving on shifts if you shift around 3000. This is because backing off the throttle when shifting causes the mixture to go from an overly lean condition to a richer mixture, thus increasing rpm. It also tends to run hotter.
