need a fan switch

[Bryan Pershall]

I am making some changes to my bike I ordered a Big Gun Exhaust and a K&N Air filter and a Jet kit, My question is, has any body done any of these modifications to there bike, if so what was there experience and improvements, and losses. I am thinking about drilling the air box, perforating it to add better airflow, I used to do this years ago when I road crotch rockets, I would add an exhaust spark advancers and jet kit and mod the air box for better air intake, is this in anybody's opinion, good, or not, has anybody tried this and what was the results. Any input would be helpful. Thanks Guys. Bryan Pershall BP Computer Consultants IT Consultant MCZEE/Dell Certified [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Yep you are going to kill your Mileage. low 40s to high 30s would be my guess.

The jet kit dropped mine from 58 to 50 a little more power but not enough to make up for 8 miles to the gallon

That means I need to experiment a little with things thin, small mods here and there and check my performance and my mileage after each change.

But that extra two hp is worth it! Seriously, Bryan, threre isn't a lot of performance to be gained from the KLR engine. Restrictive head design, etc. You can gain most of the performance by shimming the carb needle and possibly drilling out the slide vent. Krokko -- J.

There are quite a few experienced people here that have been there and done that with many different kinds of mods. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to bounce it off of them first. The impression I've had when others have posted of their attempts to get more power out of the KLR650 was that generally the most anyone has done is to get very modest power gains at best and usually if not always at the loss of gas mileage or other significant trade offs. -Mike 1956 Mike 2006 KLR650 South Jersey --- Bryan Pershall wrote:

So, how about slotting or drilling the airbox? Necessary if all one does is the below? I guess not or the Doc would have said so... --JW Flower "J.

Anyone have a parts bike with a good fan switch (the thing that screws into the bottom of the rediator) that they would like to sell? I priced one at the stealership...ouch. Shoot me a mail off-list if you can help me. Thanks! Lamar A14 ________________________________________________________________________ Check out AOL.com today.
