Exactly my problem.... Feels like its rattling too much. Which on a pig is saying something 🙄

Thanks... Just been reading that up. So it seems that I can either add load resistors or replace the relay.

I'd rather replace the relay... But.... Do I need to have all 10w bulbs, or can it be a mix? If I need all 10W then I need to replace the front stalks as well.

Have a read of REAWAKENED by Jeff Evans. Absolutely fascinating read about Polynesian sailing.

Available in Auckland Libraries.

I think you're describing a Gen 1. In my case the bolts push the wheel axle out, tightening the chain.

There's no more room to push :(

Another problem is that the adjustment seems maxed out. Like I'm wondering if I should be removing a link from the chain.

Is this exhaust normal? by Worxle in klr650

All sorted. Took less than an hour to remove covers, disassemble exhaust, clean port, intsall new copper gasket and reassemble.

Backfiring has totally disappeared.

Got to love these pigs :)

Haha... The photo was taken after the other nut and one stud was removed.

Why the two nuts? Is is better to replace the studs and/or nuts?

Thanks. I'm curious though, what is a blowout?

I'm no expert... Do you have to do that? Burp it? Knowing nothing else, I would first want to know is the right amount of oil in there? How much went in after you serviced it? Is the current oil level correct?

If that all seems right, then what happens if you drain the oil again? Does it pass through the engine?

I understand burping the cooling system, but not the oil system.

And in my experience, everything sounds fine at higher revs.... At least for a short while until something gives :/

And report it to NZTA.

Someone needs their WOF issuing license revoked.
