klr gas smell in oil

[matteeanne@yahoo.com]

A tiny thing, but it bugs me. The little heat sheild on the pipe right after the header makes a rattling sound. Iv'e reefed the screws as tight as I dare, but it still rattles. Any suggestions? ____________________________________________________ Sell on Yahoo! Auctions no fees. Bid on great items. http://auctions.yahoo.com/

Try placing a washer under the screws. The screws are probably hitting the bottom . Penn carr St Louis 2003 KLR650 17000 miles :>) matteeanne@... wrote: A tiny thing, but it bugs me.

At last was able to buy MY bike ! Being very particular about oil changes ,changed oil and filter at 40 miles ,what came out looked more like Slick50 than oil ,dealer said no break-in oil was used ,changed oil again at 450 miles ( 520 miles total ,so far ). This time the oil was coal black strong smell of gas , I respected all the break-in procedures,did not even went over 3500 rpm . Is this normal for oil to be this black and smelly ?the gas smell worries me more than the color . Feed back would be great . Thanks

Rip the heavy piece of crap (the entire muffler) off and get an after market exhaust. I got a Supertrapp many years ago and have been extremely happy with its performance and looks. You will be amazed how heavy the stocker is. -----Original Message----- From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Ron Criswell Sent: Sunday, July 10, 2005 12:09 PM To: matteeanne@...
