Brother, you must be psychic! I do brush my teeth and I struggle with 2 digit numbers!..lol. Nice upgrades for sure! The things we do..lol! Ride safe! Happy New Year!
Mine had a full Vance & Hines exhaust, Dynojet stage 2 jet kit, airbox mod (drilled some holes in the air box cover), Uni filter, D.I.D. X-Ring chain, progressive springs, and had my dad's buddy who tuned bikes for baja dial everything in to where it would do power wheelies and rage through whoops no problem
I got the klx needle and the 142 jet separately from schnitz racing at Half the price of eagle mikes. I have some eagle mike products but I do love to save a buck. I also put the Dg v2 slip on exhaust ,pulled the snorkel and opened up the air box. It runs much better now . The tach used to bounce up and down at idle before the mod now it's steady at idle. Big improvement.
When I had my 2012 KLR I did a full Vance & Hines exhaust, opened up the air box, and a Dyno Jet stage 2 jet kit. Made the bike able to cruise down the freeway infinitely more easily and made it super easy to wheelie
Came here to watch your video on your bags and think I will make this mod. I changed my front sprocket to 16, which has improved highway riding. This change may provide the extra grunt to help me feel comfortable riding across Canada and down into the US next summer. I got the klr dash and added a larger widscreen with a puig deflector and buffeting is now completely gone. I am currently looking at AVON trek rider tires. What do you have on, and how are they on tarmac at higher speeds? Thanks for the videos. I'm loving my klr and this just makes it bettrr
Going for the KLX mod it seems to make a huge difference. I have a off road machine that is a thumper with a after market pipe on it, and it is too loud. So I plan on keeping the stock one.
truckmanonfire just send Eagle Mike a email thru his website. Let him know what your AF, and exhaust your using. He will tell you how to set up the carb. Before you order the jet kit. The KLX jet kit is for a stock bike.
I’ll be running my 23 Adventure (no mods) at the Sturgis drag races this year. I’ll do one run with normal, unhurried acceleration, and one run pushing it a bit (but no redline), just to see what it does. My buddies will run their T7s and Trumpets.
Been there done all the mods, Now Im doing Eagle Mfg 692cc over bore with a re worked ported head, Its a hard decision to decide to tear into a very strong running no oil burning engine but I got the kit may as well install it right?
sweet video man, just picked myself up a 2015 klr over the holidays and wanted to know more about what the "KLX Jet kit" does performance wise. the bike i bought came with a fair amount of aftermarket put into it, including the lexx exhaust. please share any links or info youve got for that jet kit. -thanks
Zach Baker eaglemike.com. Let him know what exhaust, air filter you plan on using with the KLX Jet kit. The kit on his website is for a stock bike. Yours is not stock. You can email him your setup and any questions you may have thru his website. Hope this answers you question. Have a great day !!
Have you check the plug to see if the upgrades made it run rich or lean. I have yet to see a vidio of a KLR on a dyno showing power and torque gains after mods.
It's battery time! Anyone tried a Monster PowerPro Gel battery on a 2006 era KLR650? Looks like the poles are reversed. Wondering if it's going to be a problem connecting.
Just a little info on the carb screws, the are not philips, they are JIS, people strip them out because phillips screwdriver does not fit JIS properly.
michael klinge yes they vibrate at around 2500 rpm. I fixed the problem of the vibration by not riding in that RPM range. Yes the Lex exhaust is louder than stock. Not much in my option. But the Thump is more dominate. Thank you for the question.
No I don't, my bike is a 2018. The snorkel isn't really very long compared to some other KLR`s I have seen. I just put a UNI air filter in the air box. I didn't drill any holes or modify the air box in anyway. Hope this answers your question. Thank you for the comment.
Box of Chocolates using a new GoPro Hero 5 black I picked up over the Holidays. A Sony stereo Mic 🎤 hence all the popping and cracking in the audio and iMovie to edit out approx 3-4 minutes of umms and ahhhs lol. Just ordered a giant squid mono mic for the 3x3 challenge video coming up soon.
@@klrguyadventures9403 You know I had the same problem. The problem is that the mic is a bit too hot. I used an inline volume control like this one to eliminate the popping. I just turned the dial down a bit. It goes between the mic and the Gopro adapter block. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DJTB32/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@BOC_Adventures oh great more money I have to spend. lol This is all @RobRidesCarolina fault. If he never nominated me for the 3x3 challenge I wouldn't have had to spend all this money....LMBO. I prob would have spent it anyways. This motovloging thing is kinda fun...LOL
@@klrguyadventures9403 It really is fun. I was able to keep the sony mic and return the fancy smancy one I ordered to replace it though. The only downside is you have more wire to stuff into the helmet.
Did you have to buy the brick to attach your mic to the hero 5? Bloody thing that is. That with the GoPro and the Bluetooth intercom turns your helmet into something out of star wars
Have these mods to the carb. been done on the 2018? I have absolutely no issues with the torque or get-up and go with mine even at 100 kl (62.5 miles) per hr.
@joseph KLR650 this is what I installed after I broke the stock 70mm springs. Hope this helps. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00852K8X4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fred on 2 Wheels still stock running the 15 tooth. I have a new 16 tooth but not sure if I wanna put it on. Bike runs pretty good and am happy with it. Thank you for the question.
Put it on! Especially if your more on road than off. Me personally I've had my klr with similar mods for 9 years, it's an 08. Only time i put my 15 back on if i haul in truck to mountains for all offroad weekend and sometimes when lazy i run with 16!
I did a lot of mods to a KLR , including the carb and exhaust mods. By far the biggest improvement that can be made to the KLR is the suspension. My KLR will now cruse at 75 - 80 no problem, stock it struggled. The suspension mods are what really made the bike nice to ride. Here is an old video of my KLR I need to update it someday as I have changed a few things. . czcams.com/video/gJ_Pk7Afk94/video.html
RedNeck Biker109 HAHA. I was gonna buy the black one. But the yella one had these little shiny things in the paint. It was almost hypnotic. Lol. Check out my other video about cell phone holders and ram mounts. czcams.com/video/AtSgG3_lpCc/video.html
shahzad jamshed no it doesn’t. 142 main jet, 42 slow jet, idle air mixture screw from lightly seated 2.5 turns out. Run great no issues. Thank you for the question !!
@@klrguyadventures9403 thanks for reply i actually put fmf powercore 4 uni filter n egal mike jet kit n snorkal remove but mine pop .. i didnt put 42 slow jet ..
shahzad jamshed did you drill out the plug to access the idle air screw? I forgot and put it all together an it popped. Took carb back off and drilled out plug and adjusted idle screw. Took care of that. Send Eagle Mike a email thru his website. Tell him your set up. He will send you how to set things up.
@@klrguyadventures9403 Did the torsion spring doohickey and the thermobob, the one tooth larger front sprocket and the one tooth larger back sprocket so I can ride it on the freeway. When I get to where I'm going I can still putt along on two track. I appreciate your videos but I don't really want to "put a smack" to my mule.
KLRs used to be a fair dirt bike. These days they are just a foo foo dual sport that works well ..nowhere..dirt or road. You have to spend 3-4 grand to make them worth a shit for anything
Glad I found your videos. I ride a 15 KLR with some mods and 17' Harley Ultra Limited.
Great sense of humor as well.
