corbin seats: two qs

[bensherwyn]

Hello all, I'm assuming this has been addressed in previous posts (though my search proved fruitless). What is that whistling sound that comes from the engine? Why do some KLRs have it really bad? Is harmful? What can be done to prevent it? Just curious... Thanks, Ben

1. I am buying the European version of the KLR. I gather it varies in some ways from the North American model. Does anyone happen to know if the standard Corbin seat fits the European model? 2. Generally, does the Corbin seat tend to make two-up riding better, worse or no different than the stock seat?

The factory flange has a U cut in it to go around the tank vent hoses. After measuring I see there is enough room to go below where the factory mount was. Problem is the vent tubes are still in the way. Before I go notching the Corbin has anyone else had this issue. I can push it on but the rebound seems like its from those hoses and I don't want to crimp them. Thanks [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
