Damn you guys are tough!! 1) I already have ~100.00 worth of stuff from Fred in transit, and will have more when my wallet recovers. 2) More importantly, I CANT WAIT TO RIDE THE KLR AGAIN!!!! If I can go to the Kawa shop and get 2 6.00 shims to have my bike running today, I don't think Fred (or anyone else) will hold it against me. If they don't stock them, I will order them from Fred. Geez..beaten down before I even had my coffee. Thanks for all the help guys, Dave

As others have mentioned, stick to the stock jet. I live at 6.000 ft. I go up to 11,000 + and down to sea level with the same 148 jet you should have in your carb. Flexibility is yet another reason to stay with stock jetting. Bogdan
