Don, I will need a little time to meditate on the validity your premise that requires mixing theology, doctrine and the divinity of sex- linked genetics with a propensity to act in specific, predictable ways. Do you mind if I use your last paragraph with attribution, (=full credit)at an appropriate time? Sorry about your equine-luck...however, changing mares rarely changes the (final) outcome, which I suppose is actually 'the point'. revmaaatin.

Hi List, When I was in college (1974), I met a man who specialized in restoring submerged -high end- cars, Volvo, Mercedes, Porsche, and the one thing he always did was to fill the crank case and top end with diesel fuel (spark plugs out)and spin the motor to flush the engine. Seems he did this at least 3x, and the fluid was visually 'clean'. It worked well for him, giving fully disclosure to the buyer, and had many cars with over 5 years of service after being cleaned. (as a side note, anything electrical was cannibalized off a wrecked, - dry land car- to include entire dash panels, etc, and of course this was in the days before electronic ignition, fuel injection) Question to the list: If able and available, would flushing the KLR crankcase with diesel/kerosene/Jet-A be a good thing, or a bad thing? Would it adversely affect the clutch plates? Could it dilute the lubrication-oil so badly that the cam journals would have no oil present and then would be scalded on initial start up? revmaaatin.

I'd recommend against it, as it doesn't have any significant lubricating properties (and who knows what'd happen to the clutch). If you think you have a dirty engine there are much safer products that will clean it up. My favorite is Auto-Rx . -- Blake Sobiloff http://sobiloff.typepad.com/blakeblog/> http://sobiloff.typepad.com/klr_adventure/> San Jose, CA (USA)

I got the extra horses from some modifications to the engine. I wish I could tell you all what I was able to do to get them but being that I am an owner of a Machine shop that contracts classified work through me I can't at this time. I used some of the technology do do what was needed. I can tell you that I used Cold Fusion technology on the head and spiral cut lines for better intake and exhaust swirls. I also used a Yost power boost in the carb with 160 jetting for a H-D Sportster 883. They both use the same carb you all know. I also enlarged the exhoust port and had a new head pipe custom made. Not sure if I can post the acyually number but I can say it out runs all other 650 dualsports with ease. Not too sure about those big BMW or KTM's yet but wheelies are not an option they just happen now. As for seviceing bearing and all the bike will be down for a couple days till I can go over it all and relube everything. As for the filter I removed that on the trail and took the chances didn't want to contaminate the new oil with any water that was trapped in the filter. Don R A19 NJ Ride it Like you Stole It

If motor is submerged under water for any length of time, water would get into the crankcase somewhere, as there is a vent somewhere, otherwise combustion blow-by would blow out seals in motor. Usually vent is at top of valve covers in most motors. Jeff A20 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

In the KLR, it is that hose behind the starter that goes to the airbox. This is also why the airbox gets filled with oil if you overfill the KLR with oil or if your rings are bad and there is excessive blowby. Water gets into your engine via the vent only if it gets into the airbox. Unless you've "modified" your airbox, the airbox intake is immediately under your seat to the left of the left frame rail. So if you've submerged your KLR to that point, you've truly submarine'ed your KLR! _E

After the T-Mod, maybe someone will come up with a Scuba-Mod... Steph

Perhaps someone on the list that has actually touched a USMC bike, "Does it have a snorkle capability" or just the stock airbox? Seems to me that some of the flathead HD-45 of WWII (it may have been German BMW combat machines or Soviet, old iron, what ever it was)and later had some snorkle-capability. I could be confused about what I remember. revmaaatin.

OK. I sure hope that the statute of limitations runs out on the confidentiality of the contracts because I want and need the 25% increase in HP. I have searched far and wide but nobody, including Patman, has found the holy grail of available horsepower for the KLR. Also, I Googled the "Yost Power Boost" and found nothing. Is it a typo?
