You people are lucky to have garages. Around here we got apartments and people who sleep late on Saturdays and Sundays. My klr is running bad, the big problem is water in the tank. The tank is still on the bike so is the best way to pull off the petcock? I know there is a vacuum valve and I don't want to get gas on my hands. The smell never goes away. Thank you.

My klr is running bad, the big problem is water in the tank. The tank is still on the bike so is the best way to pull off the petcock? I know there is a vacuum valve and I don't want to get gas on my hands. The smell never goes away. Thank you. KBOY ___________ KBOY, why would you have water in your tank? There is no way to do the job you want to do without getting gas on your hands, best take it to a stealer... Kurt

Take off the tank and flip it over?

If it's really water in the tank use no more than 4 ounces of 100% isopropyl alcohol. It bonds with water like a magnet. It's the red bottle of Iso-Heet. Works waaaaaaaaay better than the yellow bottle which is Methanol If your problem doesn't go away shortly it's not water in the fuel.

The easiest way to get water from the tank is to siphon it out either with a pump or the old fashion suck on a hose. Harry Thames Sourth Carolina

Thanks for all the help to drain my tank. I got the job done turning it upsidedown over a bucket, so now my roommate is mad, it was his bucket. Since I work in a retail store it isn't a great thing to get gas on my hands. The water must have come from condensation inside the tank. Thanks everyone. KBOY West Hollywood, Ca

Kids love the KLR. Their parents have a hard time getting them back in the car at the gas stations. As for Harleys, women may like the vibration for a little while, but I've found out they appreciate a smooth ride. -Lance
