Airbox looks good. I tested it when putting in a new filter early thig season. Tried it with filter in, filter out, side door open, etc. Doesn't seem to be an air box problem. Good to know valves can cause long warmups. Need to figure out a space to do the job and take care of that soon hopefully.

Sorry, MIA for a bit. Will address these individually: @GreyGhost I've tried starting cold with tank lid open. No difference. Forgot to mention this attempt in my original post. @ToSlow I personally did not change it. I got this bike with 47,000km on it, and I think it has been done from what...

Are you referring to carb hoses? Fuel line etc?

KLR has a vacuum diaphragm operated petcock. I have a manual one on hand, but have not installed yet. From what I understand, petcock diaphragm issues on the KLR become apparent at high rpm, rather than low - unless maybe something super weird and irregular happened to it. Regardless, it is...

Hey all! I've posted this in other places before but just have not gotten anywhere with this. Seems to come up as a 2-stroke problem every time I google lol. My bike (2000 KLR650) has 50,400km, FMF Q4 Full system, and MCP Carb Kit. Worked perfectly last year. The issue: This year since...

I’m not sure who you’re signed up with, but that sounds like the way RTI Is doing it? They keep bumping people back in the order of when they signed up I believe. Curious how they are staying afloat... I imagine there’s some serious income loss given the fact they can’t actually run lessons...

from what I understand, the issue is less so with the courses and more so with the ministry in general. I think MC licensing is too small a for them to give individual attention to, so it’s bundled in with auto licensing, where people are sitting in vehicles with strangers. It’s super...

Man this stuff is such a bummer :/ convinced my friend to finally get a bike a few months ago (after many years) - and he can’t even get insured with an M1 because young/Toronto. If there’s only one reason I want lockdown to lift for, it’s for everyone trying to get out and ride this summer :(...

Shinko 705. They should be plenty fine for highway. 80/20 I think they are?

Not awful, that might be harsh. Just a workout. Seems people on bigger bikes can get off after 200km and feel great. KLR beats me up on the road and I generally like to pull over every 100km to stretch my legs and rest my butt. Seems most faster bikes get more stable above 100kmh, whereas...

Keeping the KLR 100%. Love it to bits! ****!!!!!! Found a mint looking FZR400 in London.... 5 grand... 41k km though. It's in such a classic color too... oh no... My heart and soul is screaming at me to do it. why!!! Edit: This just seems like a moronic idea to me because I don't even have a...

I just had this problem few days back hahaha. If you have an ADV helmet (with a visor), you can put Rok Straps through the visor and tighten it down to the back without a mesh. Worked for me on a half hour rip down the highway to missisauga. Otherwise, what everyone else said, bungee net...

The wheel set costs as much as I paid for my bike originally hahaha. Might see if I can put out a feeler and get some used ones.

Whoa. Sounds awesome. Might be better on the highway when lowered too and with road tires? Would love to ride with a 14t to learn to wheelie but I think the trade offs are not worth it (awful highway performance, being marginal at best already with a 16t sprocket).

its a 650. Or do you mean wheel size? I think people put 17" warp 9's on them all the time.

Hmm that sounds awesome. I gotta get my G asap haha. What do they intend it to be used for if not for work or shopping? I guess just casual transportation of things? Would be nice as a grocery getter :D Might try to get a minivan in that case or something. Whatever is easiest and cheapest...

I wish this was possible... Such a s***storm trying to juggle between the bike I want, and the bike I can afford to insure. Just constantly making phone calls and keeping a damn spreadsheet of rates etc... So annoying...

I actually only want a car to carry windsurfing stuff and my butt to beaches hahaha. Had a thread on the sidecar thing earlier. Ultimately seems like so much effort for a mediocre outcome for my specific need. I can probably get a construction van used for the price of a custom or pre-built...

The price tag of one suggests that yeah. Might be a little out of my price range when it comes to maintenance. I think having a KLR and supermoto would be kind of similar. If I have a second bike I'd likely want something more highway capable and gutsy. That being said, owning two bikes...

That sounds insanely cheap. I don't think I'd get a rate like that at 23 with 2 years experience though. I always thought Supermotos were expensive to insure because people always wreck them? I remember quotes for a DRZ400 were almost double what I pay for the KLR.
