Had both the KLR and the Konker out for spins tonight, the weather is beautiful! Supposed to snow (lots!) on Thursday so I figured I would take the opportunity

A guy NEEDS more than one bike! There are too many roles to fill.
You can only have one girl but as many bikes as you can afford. Seems fair to me. Or in my case more bikes than I can afford. I have like 6. Whatever. :roll:

I'm very happy the Konker returned to your stable, Stew! The KLR650 is a great motorcycle, but it is entirely too heavy for a trail bike.

I've never seen a Konker close up, so I wonder if you can just rotate the carb a bit and access the main jet.

Wear some eye protection. Carb cleaner in the eye hurts like an SOB and I doubt it improves your vision.

Rotating the carburetor is no problem just follow these steps: Turn off the gas at the petcock and remove the fuel line from the carb. drain the carburetor by loosening the screw at the bottom of the float bowl and drain into an approved container. loosen the bolt on the throttle cam "12mm I think" and remove the throttle cable ends and cam along with the spacer and washer. Loosen the front and rear clamps for the intake and airbox boot and spin the carb towards the exhaust side top first. Remove the two screw holding the cable bracket and then remove the bracket and spin the carb so the bottom is facing the exhaust side. Take off the four screws for the float bowl and you're ready to clean the jets and bowl area.

Insured and plated 8) . Fresh tank of premium ($1.31 a liter!) and a shot of Seafoam, hopefully that cleans everything up
