Re: KLR You Experienced? Err, kinda not really.
Yes. Did you change anything? If not, than really you're just adjusting the air screw and idle and good to go. Not likely much else will change. No reason to go into all this other stuff unless you've upgraded the carb or something.The Jimbonaut said:

Dude, I’ve changed everything
Bored the cylinder to 685, Stage 2 DynoJet kit in the carb, modified airbox and new Lexx exhaust.
Oh, KLX front fender, new bars and grips and a bunch of other shit but hopefully that’s not fucking anything up

Re: KLR You Experienced? Err, kinda not really.
You'l never get the carbs set up properly with new grips, put the originals back on.

Rich mate, very rich. I’ll post up a pic of the plug - blacker than a stack of black cats in a coalmine.farmer92 said:

Re: KLR You Experienced? Err, kinda not really.
Is it a dry black?
If you let the plug sit for a while after you pull it out does it dry off? If it stays wet then you’re sucking oil in somewhere.
Hopefully it’s just pig rich

Blacker than Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath with the lights out and very thick curtains on the windows at midnite with no moon. And a bit foggy.
Blacker than - you get the picture.

Did you enlarge the slide lift hole when you installed the Stage 2 kit?

Re: KLR You Experienced? Err, kinda not really.
That stage 2 kit and enlarging the slide lift hole should have your carb right. There usually a pre-packaged kit set up for the mods. Unless there is an issue on the air side of things and not the jetting. That sooty is way off on the mix.

We all know all bikes are different, but with the KRZ/KLX/DRZ whatever when you go big bore you have to drop down a size in mains and slow jet

Re: KLR You Experienced? Err, kinda not really.
Down size when the carb bore stays the same to handle the extra velocity pulling more fuel. I usually go up on carb bore with a big bore on thumpers.

Re: KLR You Experienced? Err, kinda not really.
I was wondering about that. I didn't really do much to the filter itself, think it would benefit from a good clean? It's a foam filter - is there a proper way to clean those things?
Was also suggested that pulling the filter out completely as a test may point to whether or not the filter is too restrictive/dirty. Run the bike without the filter, get more air into the carb and see if it runs better. What do you think?

Usually in a spray can, it’s application specific as i think it’s a little clingier than regular engine oil.
Nothing to say you couldn’t use regular oil but i tried once and it drips out and makes a mess. Might not be too bad in an airbox though.
