[bulk] [dsn_klr650] brake lever position

[Dav]

I just got rid of my gixer and bought a klr. It's allot more fun without going 100mph and handles the pot holes allot better. Any way I removed the fairing and upon reinstalling it accidentally plugged one of the turn signals into what seems to be the "city light" circuit judging by the wiring diagram. I corrected this of course but what the heck is a 'city light" any way

In a lot of the world, you have to leave a light on your vehicle at night when parked on a public street. The city light circuit is for those low wattage lights. DC Dav wrote:

Thanks. The lever was a little corroded and a little tight. It's smooth as silk now. ________________________________ From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tumu Rock Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 9:00 AM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BULK] [DSN_KLR650] Re: Brake lever position Importance: Low --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com , "Philip Campbell" wrote:

Pull the lever out of the perch and apply the lubricant of your choice. Had this happen to me recently and thought I needed to bleed the brakes. I bled them and it didn't change. Pulled the lever, squirted a bunch of lithium grease and BAM!, problem solved. da Vermonster [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
