new tires? & mold release????

[James W. Flower]

I knew my marriage was doomed the first time my ex asked me, "Honey, why buy a new helmet when you can make an extra payment on your life insurance?"

Just removed the plug covering this adj.screw. Cant recall how many turns to back it out after seating it. HELP! Oh yeah,I am now a firm believer in the gas additive Seafoam! I got into a Demolition Derby contest with a shopping basket in Aug. of 2010. The bike wasnt ridden or started until Feb. 2011. No symptoms of varnishing what-so-ever! However...sticker expired Apr.2011. My 2007 was put on hiatus until 4 days ago. The only precaution I took while it sat was to add Seafoam. thats it! But,from Apr. 2011-Oct. 2012? Thats a yr. and a half!And it still fired right up afte charging the battery...but it does pop frequently upon compression deceleration. I would not recommend letting your fuel go that long without attention,but its nice to know I have a friend in Seafoam!

The screw from the factory is set a bit lean and reported as anywhere from 3/4 to 1 3/4 turns out. The KLR will run best if set between 2 and 2 1/2 turns out.

I agree with Seafoam. But seem to have mine more like 1 3/4 ~ 2 turns maybe, otherwise all stock. Dooden A15 Green Ape

Just do it right and get the adjustable one from Fred. Plus, when going to high elevations, you can lean it a bit to help out the bike. Andy in Louisiana.
