[dsn_klr650] eagle mike s mc mod : advance exhaust cam on

[RobertWichert]

I think it's emissions, Mark. Early exhaust opening would be more unburned stuff, I think. More power, more pollution. It's a trade-off. Robert Wichert P.Eng.

If as great as said to be, (& may be.) Why would the Engineers not set it that way at the factory? They do want, and have ALOT TO GAIN ($$$) FOR FREE, by having a 650 out do, the competitors, and have higher output bragging rights. On Saturday, August 2, 2014 6:36 PM, "Martin Earl mjearl4@...

Read through the thread and debated the change until I read Rev. Martin's post. Did it on my 06 with 45K on the clock. Initially had a stumble at 3k, fixed with moving the dyno jet needle clip from first slot to third (richer), and then subsequently turning the pilot screw in from 2.5 to 1.75 out (leaner across the foundation mixture). Got rid of the forever hunting pace at low gears, mid rpm around town. Acceleration smoother through the power band, better in the mid and upper passing pull. Less compression braking when setting up for a corner, but nothing a gear change doesn't solve. Some loss of mpg on the first fill up, but haven't finished that assessment subsequent to pilot screw change. Currently at 212 and not on reserve. Engine feels happy if that's of any value. IRC GP 110 tires. Reasonable price, predictable off road, solid in the corners. Best for me, and I don't air down at all from 36/38. YMMV Thanks again Rev. Todd

When you get a better feel for gas mileage, tell us what those numbers, I would like to know.I go from 52 to 37mpg; a lot dependent on throttle settings, speed and headwinds. Headwinds here can move the mpg 10mpg or more at 70-75mph. The best mileage occurs at Which brings me to a different subject; when you hit reserve, reduce throttle setting to 50/55mph and conserve fuel. I believe 45mph will give most bikes max range. If you ever have to use double secret reserve (twice) you will know why you want to go to max-range; the pig is unpleasant to pick up after doing a fuel transfer and it a bear to push by yourself.m1
