idle problem fixed by changing gas and adding lucas

For all who have already suffered the dreaded plastic choke thingy failure (and those of you who eventually will): http://www.steadengineering.com/main.sc These guys make aluminum and bronze replacements for the POS plastic choke thingy. More importantly, they make a hand operated - no cable required alternative. I love mine. One less thing to break, one less thing cluttering up my bars, etc, etc, etc. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

It comes in either Aluminium or Brass. WHAT!? No Titanium? I'm shocked. Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

Even the military bikes have the POS plastic too. Steadman has an aluminum replacement for $27. I didn't realize that aluminum and $27 were so exotic...

I was having some aggravating problems with my KLR 650 not idling well. It was going high and low--even dying. I got a tank of gas with not ethanol and added some Lucas injector cleaner. It now runs and idles perfectly. I'm amazed at the difference. rw [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
