What I do is go to my inbox and hit "delete" on everything I don't want to read. As far as I know that is the only way. db ________________________________ From: thomas cole To: dsn_klr650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 5, 2008 3:48:46 PM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] (unknown) How do I turn off the NKLR stuff that shows up on our forum?

Could you not classify everything that's got NKLR in the subject line as "Junk"? That should eliminate it. DC David Bell wrote:

Yeah, I'm thinking it may be problems with the carb vent and/or T-mod. Thanks to the folks on the list for this idea. Chris

Or you could get a sealed dry AGM Absorbed Glass Mat battery. I've had a KLR and Nighthawk both with hot voltage regulators in the 15V neighborhood. Both bikes would run wet batteries dry in the span of a two to three months. Replaced the wet batteries with AGM batteries life was good. The AGM batteries are also very good in KLRs that are getting bumped around or taking horizontal dirt naps off road or bumping along on rough unpaved roads. Jim Fortner Plano, TX

After a 1000km (600mi) trip, with the original the water level would go from slightly above the "full" line to just below the top of the plates. My nearest Kawi dealer ripped me off the only time I went there, so I haven't been back and never bothered going thru the hassle of making a warranty claim. I had to buy a battery on a Saturday night before a trip that was planned for the following day, and found a sealed battery at K-Mart that was the right one for the KLR. Of course, I haven't been able to top up the water level in that, and now it's dead too. I measured the voltage of the battery with the engine running: 15.5V. This is WAY too high. I looked at the spec. in the KLR600 Service Manual (Base section p 14-7), and it says it should run at 15V. (See pic @ http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/BlindFreddie/KLR650/KLRchargingVolts.gif ). This is WAY too high !!! If you type "automotive battery charging" into your favourite search engine, you will soon find statements like "The charging system provides essentially a fixed voltage of typically 13.8 to 14.4V, unless the alternator is at its current-limit" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_battery). One possible reason for a high charging voltage is a voltage drop between the battery positive terminal and the voltage sensing wire that goes into the regulator. In the KLR's case, this is the brown wire (BR): ( See Charging Circuit pic (manual p14-6) at http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/BlindFreddie/KLR650/KLRchargingCct01.gif ) This wire is disconnected when the ignition is switched off, so that it will not drain the battery when the bike is not in use. However, if there is any voltage drop between the battery "+" and the regulator, eg due to resitance in the wiring and dirty contacts in the ignition switch, the regulator will see a lower voltage than is actually at the battery, and it will increase the charging voltage to compensate. If this is happening, you can cut the brown wire and wire in a relay that connects the positive lead of the battery directly to the sensor input of the regulator when the ignition switch end of the brown wire is activated. I measured the voltage drop on the KLR, and to my surprise found it was less thatn 0.1V, so this is not the source of my overcharging problem. Where can I get a regulator that charges at around 14.0V, or how can I modify the existing one to do so? [I searched the DSN_KLR650 archive for "overcharging" and found just 2 references to similar problems "charging system, wiring & Electrex results, theory & reality" -- Jim Hyman, 2 Apr 2001, and "Battery or rectifier?" -- dcorym, 16 Jun 2003 ... but no followup posts. ] - Rick -

There obviously is a Canadian virus going round.  I doubt "rodejar" intended to send this link to our list.  The only thing I can do as the list moderator is to remove "rodejar" and his link from our list.  Once this person cleans up his virus, he will be welcomed back to this list if he wants to resubscribe.   Fred List Admin.   [b]From:[/b] rodejar@...

DIDO $200 to $50,000 MANY people STARTED on a $100. 100cc bike FREASHMEN CLASS. While some think (YUPPIE) "HARLEY" riders are snobs because THEY do NOT wave, to many of them are on there first bike and are newbies AFRAID to wave, SO WAVE ANYWAYS, SET AN EXAMPLE. I have met more then a few Car drivers coment on how FREINDLY ALL BIKERS ARE TO OTHER BIKERS, They wave to a complete rider going 70 mph in the other direction, and even talk to each other when stopped at a light or gas station ect. CAR DRIVERS, DO NOT! (or very rarely) I have to admit it's one BIG thing I love about riding is the showing that we are still a social world.

Watch the smiles on the faces of the people on mopeds. Everyone that rides deserves a wave and a smile after all, the nicest people ride bikes. Ride Safe.

Having the same problem. Will be interested in the solution. Bob Kochen Op ks Sent from my Samsung Galaxy TabLarry Ostrom wrote:I have two KLR's and one of them, when I have a strong tail wind, will start to miss and even backfire. It seems to happen when I have rolled out of the throttle a little because the Kansas wind is strong enough to just about coast. It takes awhile for it to start to do it, but it continues to get worse unless I open the throttle or slow down more. This happens at about 65 to 70 MPH. Does anyone think it is possible that when it is almost coasting at about half throttle, with the wind, that the vacuum is shutting off the petcock valve and it is staving it of fuel? With a 40 MPH tail wind it wouldn't take much throttle to keep it running at 65 MPH. These conditions are the only time that it happens. I have never had the same problem with my other KLR but it is geared differently and I don't ride highway with it very much. Has anyone else had a problem like this?
