Yeah she is coming. Add her to the list. So we will be in sight seeing mode. Can't wait. Thanks for the work.

Hi Fred, I finally figured a way to fit in this ride. Retirement was the answer! Booked at the Commodore. Hope and I will see you then. Thanks for your work on this. Greatly appreciated. Bob

I'd like to share some Gen 2 PC III map data to anyone that still has one of these. When I installed my PC III years ago the main reason was to eliminate the mid corner Hesitation that plagues these bikes and many others. It did not help. Computer calculated fuel consumption went from 43 ish to...

Mr. Bill and I are registered. Thanks to all that have done so much work on this.

WOW! A few years away from the board and everything changes. LoL. I replaced the cam chain tensioner and the cam chain 40K miles ago. The tensioner P/N I installed was 5JW-12210-01. I'll search and see if this is an improved type. I don't remember. The KLR was short lived. Sold it after a...

So glad this is resolved. Now on to a valve check and installing the newer cam chain tensioner and we are good to go to NAFTO. Except, for a couple new Dunlops right before I leave. Now if I can keep Mr. Bill from wanting to camp on the way life will be good. Lol

IT'S ALIVE !!!!!! Found the problem. It was, and is, embarrassing. I don't think I have ridden this bike 500 miles in the last 3 yrs. due to involvement with my sons race car and life in general. And I have not performed any maintenance either in that time frame except oil. So this morning I...

Thanks to all for all of the ideas. Hi ionbeam and Fred, yes long time. Hardly rode at all the last couple of yrs but Mr. Bill has invited me to NAFTO so I gotta get this right. Additional info: Bike has the ign switch recall but is wired with a bypass relay as posted on this forum years ago...

Sorry I don't know how to make this short and still include pertinent data. Parked the bike in a warm dry basement for the winter. Everything was fine. Started it a couple weeks ago. Started perfect, idled and ran perfect. After a ride of 10 or so miles the engine started cutting out above 1/2...

Hmmm. Mapquest says 2250 miles, 35 hours and 50 minutes. So.....OK. Should we do that in 1 day or 2?

"Mr Bill" I know why the train guy wants Durango :rolleyes: The Moki Dugway, a little bit of dirt riding, is within reach of Durango too. I'm in if we get to ride the "Moki"

Yeah it was GP Suspensions. They admitted they had some forks that were clicking and that they had a fix. So I sent them back, they reworked them and they still click and getting worse as time goes by. About 40k miles on them now. On mine you not only hear it you can feel it in the handle bars...

I had my forks done twice by that place in the northwest, can't remember the name, and they still click and clunk. It's time to service the forks this winter so I'll get it taken care of. I believe the springs flex to the side as they compress. Hope it didn't ruin anything inside.

Am I missing a page to this thread? What ever happened to the Blue Pipe saga?

My original cracked and was replaced with the recalled reinforced one. That lasted a few years of very limited use and it also cracked despite the mod. So I just got a third one (on my dime) thinking they would be imporoved by now but it is the same POS as the recalled unit. Disappointed. If...

I did the wiring mod a few weeks ago. Just completed a 3K trip with heated gear on all the time. A Gerbings jacket and Gerbings gloves. With both pieces on high, I saw 13.5 (Datel) the whole time while riding. Before the wiring mod I had 12.8. Oh, and when the Gerbings gloves filled with water...

I've never seen pipes looking like that and have a hard time believing it is caused by idling. Did you check for a mouse nest in the air filter box? That would give you a rich mixture causing the CATS to go into after burner mode. The sniff test may not show the rich problem due to the...

My apologies gentlemen. Been busier than a one armed paper hanger and haven't been on the board. No, I did not find any automotive connectors that fit. I found some automotive connectors that i was able to make them fit. The terminals I used are plain automotive #10 female terminals. The #8...

Wow, those numbers are GREAT - better than I've seen. Out of curiosity, are you running the OEM RR version 1 or 2? The old style.

Nice work Don! Again, thank you for getting to the bottom of this. I am still seeing 14.3x on initial start-up and 14.18 to 14.21 riding. Could not be happier. Bob
