brake system

[Mike Peplinski]

This one is a real fishing expedition. I have access to the muffler/pipe from a new Husqvarna SM610SM. This pipe is way more beautiful than my KLR stock one which is rusting. I'd like to pull a switch. I'm not all that concerned with any performance improvement but I'm wondering if I will need to rejet or how I will know I need to rejet. _________________________________________________________________ http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_mini_pcmag_0507

Really bad idea. I think you should forget any idea of adapting that Husky exhaust. You would likely have to do some jetting which is not something which can be predicted. Dumb idea, Norm Oh, since you're not going to be needing that pipe, could you let me have the guy's contact information. (VBG) Just in case my attempt at humour is misunderstood. I also like the look of that Husky exhaust and would give your idea a shot if I were fortunate enough to get my hands on one. I'm betting that it would be less restrictive and would require an increase in main jet size. An O2 sensor, exhaust gas analyzer or reading the spark plug are some means to identifying whether jetting is correct. If doing the exhaust, I'd also do the air box snorkel and inlet screen removal so jetting will only need to be done once. Start with a 152 main jet as that works well in the bikes we've done the snorkel and screen removal. You may have to change main jet further and/or needle taper to tune the jetting below wide open throttle. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Trouble is jetting can be off and you will not know it by the performance of the engine unless it's so far off that performance suffers or you over heat the bike. Reading spark plugs is for experienced ands since I've had no luck reading a lean or rich mixture off a plug I suggest an O2 sensor set up or if you are so inclined a gas analyzer. the latter being over $200 in a complete kit. but there is a problem with an O2 sensor, they don't send a linear voltage so a it's subjective as well. I have not done the research but if you could get the voltage curve for lean to perfect to rich that would be the way to go. O2 sensors can be had for less then $20 and with a little elbow grease can be made to work. Oh buy the way don't listen to the "DUMB" idea crowd. It's your bike do what you want to it. Guys here have them from totally stock to full on touring mode farked from hell and back. Again it's your bike if it will not cause any problems with maintenance or safety go for it. Kerry

You could try a a Gunson ColorTune to find the correct jet (mixture)... http://www.gunson.co.uk/item.aspx?item=1822 http://www.gunson.co.uk/item.aspx?item=1822&cat=486> &cat=486 For an analysis of using the colortune on a Kawi Concours (KLR's are considered a Connie "farkle", as many Connie owners also have a KLR): http://www.ldrider.ca/techpages/colortune.htm [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Thanks, Jacobus! I'll file that info away for the day I need it-- it's definitely good to know. -- Blake Sobiloff http://sobiloff.typepad.com/blakeblog/> San Jose, CA (USA) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
