My left blinker works perfectly,(KLR 650) but right blinker boes not blink just burns a steady glow. Does anyone know anything about the set up concerning the blinker system? Thanks for any ideas David Williams

key blank and first impressions

Post by Jeff Saline » Fri Oct 10, 2003 7:02 pm

KLRers, Jeff here from Rapid City, South Dakota. New to this list and KLRs. Just bought a used 03 in Dallas, Texas two weeks ago and rode it 1,480 smiles with some friends. A lock smith in Waco couldn't get a key to fit but when I returned home the lock smith here made me three keys for less than $9. The key blank he used is a SILCA, made in Italy???, blank number KW14. They work like a charm. I've done a couple of oil changes and other minor maintenance items to the bike. This past week I've ridden it about 260 miles and about 140 of them on gravel or single track. My impressions of this bike are all that I'd been led to believe about it. It's a bit heavier than my 91 XT350 but has the power to handle tough situations. I'm gonna need a 15 or maybe even a 14 tooth front sprocket for dirt work. Also, right at the top of my list is a good or better belly pan/skid plate. I've heard and felt numerous rocks and logs bounce off the bottom of the bike and sometimes even the bottom of my boots. The factory tires are ok but the rear is smooth like a baby's butt by 3,000 miles. The front is still in good shape. Riding the Texas hill country at the speed limit or faster may have something to do with the fast wear. I'm gonna try Kenda K270s for my winter riding as I think I'll be in the dirt at least 50% of the time. Then next year when touring season rolls around I hope to be ready for another set of tires and will probably try something different and more suited to road and a little dirt work.

On some cars and trucks, if either the front or rear bulb is burned out on one side, the whole side doesn't work. Do both of the right side blinker lights stay on?
