broken carb? (new 2007)

Post by Todd Alexander (toalexan) » Tue May 08, 2007 3:53 pm

I purchased my new 07 KLR last month. I took it in for the 600 mile tune-up / valve check last week, however yesterday afternoon it just died without warning. Apparently there was a pin in the carb that wasn't disengaging, causing the float to stick and prevented fuel from passing through. They say it was nothing I did, and something they've never seen (which after 20+ years I find that hard to believe.) They're calling Kawasaki and will be ordering a new carb. As nice as this is, I have some "reliability" concerns. I wanted to throw this out to the real "KLR Pros" (you all) to see if you've heard of this happening, and if so why? What can I do to prevent this from happening again? Thanks!

tridon electronic flasher and led lights?

Will replacing the stock thermal flasher with a Tridon HD-12 electronic flasher allow the use of LED turn signal lights without needing a load equalizer? thanks, ed A17
