As a note the KLR650 list really deals with the KLR250, Kawi Sherpa, and KLX650 - at this point there have been no major problems with too many posts for bikes other than the KLR650.

I went through four sets of signals in the front before I put on the Acerbis and to date no breakage. The Acerbis look great, and work better than stock in crashes. Both the signals hold up better, and the brush guards protect your hands better than stock. Please remember front a previous response, you can't put these on stock bars!

Doug, I wish I had that tool installed today when I worked on my bike. I raised my needle clip up a notch because the plug was black.

I wish I could have adjusted it further without taking the carb off again but I guess I'll do that tomorrow.

This sounds like a great tool. I worked on my bike today and adjusted the airscrew and raised the needle clip a notch. I'm fighting an uphill battle it seems. My hesitation is between 3600-3900 rpm's now. I have the airscrew out two turns now and the needle on the 4th notch down. I can't beat this thing. The hesitation is still there. It gets less and less but the damn thing won't go away. At this point I don't know if I'm compensating or actually solving the problem. Tomorrow, the carb is coming off for the buzzillionth time and I'm gonna soak it in solvent to make sure no debris is caught up anywhere. My gut feeling tells me it won't make a difference. Perhaps I should take the airscrew out another turn or so. I'm beginning to take desperation shots at the dart board which is exactly what I didn't want to do. Thanks Bryan, Rob.

(Still a major bummer) How's it going? Yeah, I put the stock pilot jet back a couple days ago. I think this helped my hesitation problem. My needle clip is also on the 4th groove down from top. I'm taking the carb off again today, so I will adjust the airscrew further. Thanks for the suggestion. Rob. >Hey, > >I am a lurker on this list, I have been around for a while though.
