[QUOTE="bigjohnsd, post: 1390482, member: 86475"] After continuing on to Rice and Beans the KLR ran fine, But, in the morning it was a struggle to get Beastia de Azul started. Once started she ran fine. Struggled to start again in Loreto, same story. The next morning, Friday, in Los Barilles, she refused to start. We had discussed the steps we needed to take and decided a carb inspection was warranted. Everything in the Carb checked out good jet, needle, spacer, clip position, float valve etc. While rotating the carb back into position I noticed that there was a missing vacuum cap on the vacuum port. Replaced missing cap and all has been well since. The 685 kit has really helped the bike. Very little oil consumption, much better power, less vibration. With my 16 tooth front sprocket (+1 tooth over stock) I can easily cruise at 75 mph and have achieved 85 mph whole passing. Glad she is fixed. In Guerro Negro again tonight, sked to go Whale watching in the morning, then a 220 mile run up to El Rosario for the night. Monday a run through Mexican wine country between Ensenad and Tecate, lunch along the way cross the border around 2:00pm. Hope to get to Yuma AZ Monday night, Alamosa CO Tuesday and Home Wednesday. Abercrombie FJR is in charge of our ride report. [/QUOTE]
