    Hi all, I brought home by bike back in November. I've been trying to sneak in some rides here and there, despite an unusually snowy Nevada winter. I recently did my 600 mile service, replacing the oil with Rotella T4 15w40. Prior to the oil change, I would only have trouble starting in really...

    Is the ATZ10 the correct battery? Tried the AT12-BS & ATX12-AH with no luck as they were both too tall.

    Hi Everyone! I am new to the KLR World and just picked up a non-running 88 for $500! The owner before me installed a new fuel valve and hooked up the fuel line that goes to the carb to the vent instead so it wasn't getting any fuel. I switched the lines over and was able to jump the main start...

    This site has helped me a lot, so it's time to join. I have a real mystery. If anyone can help, I'd be so appreciative. I love working on bikes, but this has stumped me. I almost never do electrical work... Last fall, my 2008 KLR was running fine until it sat for about 2 weeks (under cover). I...

    I'd like to add a pigtail to the + terminal on my battery so that I can put a battery tender on it without having to remove the plastic on both sides and the seat. I'm thinking of just adding a wire to the + terminal and running it to the left side of the bike and just zip tying it up neatly...

    Hey everyone, bike will barely start. Some background info. Just returned from an epic ride through the mountains of New England. Was awesome. Mount Washington Auto Road = no words to describe! Took 4 days and 1000 miles and the bike ran great. On the last day of the ride the bike would...

    Hey guys, Sorry, this is gonna be wordy, but I want to be sure I fully explain my situation. Like the title says, my bike is having intermittent starting issues. It began 4 days ago when I went to start my bike in the morning after sitting overnight. I followed my normal start up procedure...

    I have a 86 KLR that I just had the top end rebuilt by a local pro BUT: When I got it back it needed a new battery so I bought one and ran like a champ until the NEW battery died. Seems like there was no current getting back to charge the battery as the bike is running. So I took out the...

    2007 KLR :Loaded the bike down with tent and all and headed out for camping trip. We road for about 3 hrs and came upon an amazing view off of the trail. Needless to say that with such an incredible view I left the key position on for about 15 minutes draining my 8-10 month old battery. Not...
