I hate to say this, but I pretty much ignore the temp guage on the KLR. When coming back from Idaho a few years ago, I was going through Utah, between Salt Lake and Moab, in the middle of the summer during the hotest part of the day. My temp needle was pegged on the H, but the bike never faultered, pinged or exhibited any signs of being overheated. I has performed flawless since then. I change coolant every two years. I mechanic that works at the Kawi shop has a KLR600. He damaged his water pump and it leaked all of the coolant out of the bike. He rode it 120 miles back to town, with very little if any coolant. He fixed the pump, filled it up with coolant and has never had to do anything more to the engine since and he still rides the bike daily.

[fan running, but gauge still climbing]. I shut her down , unzipped my leather, leaned forward, "and pushed it"[looked more like a surfer going out to catch the 'big one"]. I passed motor homes, other cycles, and even a cop between the right lane and the bridge wall[about 4' section]. the look[s] on their faces was memorable to say the least, as they were trying to figure out my dilemma [we passed each other several times @ snail pace]. legs felt like rubber, but mustered the strength to kick it over [klr-600] on the other side of the bridge , and let the created breeze do the rest. am laughing now, but not then, john > > To subscribe/unsubscribe send message to > majordomo@lists.xmission.com leave subject blank. > In the body of the message type: subscribe/unsubscribe klr650 (or > subscribe/unsubscribe > klr650-digest).

Try this product ...... http://www.redlineoil.com/wwti.htm ....a racing friend recommended this stuff awhile back. I drained the KLR's radiator, put in a whole bottle of the product, and topped it back up with distilled water ....... I'm not concerned at this point about freeze protection. My fan used to cycle on and off during around town riding ....... now I never see the temp needle go past half way. I noticed cooler temps in my GranPrix GTP as well. Read around Redline's web site ....... has interesting information and comparisons.

Since my old shield (from Clearview) broke its lower tabs near each of the two lower fairing bolt holes, they are making a new one out of heavier 3/16 inch stock, in a +11 height, with an extra inch added to each side. There is also some talk of cutting slots to relieve back pressure a la the Clearview ST1100 shield. Clearview is in Bailey, Colorado. They are interested in finding somebody in the area with a KLR to do a test fit. Anybody open to stopping by? Clearview can be reached at clearview@orci.com or 303.838.0886. Thanks!
