klr start problems? cdi box or coil.

[freddyp672003]

I just bought an 05 KLR 650 and am looking for some people to ride with. I live in Utah in Cedar Hills. Anyone from the area that rides? I think I will go down to Moab in June for the annual event and may even buy my wife a bike by then.

Very similar to mine... have you check for spark right after it warmed up and died? Mine will show weak spark when it is cool, no spark after its warmed up and died. You might want to check the coil before you do the cdi cuz its cheaper than the cdi. thanks, Kenneth --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "acupuncture4u2" wrote:
