Sad news ...

I'll start with $1000 OBO. I can do better for GTAMers......

Cleaned a real dirty kill switch which nothing. Then finally checked the pickup and exciter coils. P/u is good but exciter has no continuity. Thru on the tank and other bits, washed it quick, wheeled it onto the lawn and snapped some pics. Already have the FBM ad written.

May be answering my own question. Squeeze checked the long range forecast and Timmins could be getting snow on the 18th......

status/update? New killer should make the trip.

A buddy has offered to let me store my 2 snowmobiles in his sea can. I'm a bit leery thinking it could be damp and full of condensation. This fellow had stored some wooden furniture in it and the finish was water damaged. Another friend has a sea can at his cabin and says he has no issues...

If the safety switches are allowing me to crank it over could they still be impeding spark?

With a plug grounded to the engine I had no spark.

Quaint. My Squeeze says it's the place where "I talk to my girlfriends"??

As am I.

The doo-hickey issue is highly over rated, likely by the guy building replacements. I have friends who never changed it and never had an issue.

All my KLR buddies in the KLusteR seem to think 65,000kms is the best before date for KLRs. I didn't want to believe it but with almost 70K on the clock it's showing it's age. I had an issue last fall and now the spark and shock problem so I thought it was time. Sadly mine was the last Gen1 in...

Broke my own rule about not buying a new motorcycle. Unfortunately the selection of used Gen3's is so low I ended up with new. I'll be picking it up next week. Mine is exactly as shown below except mine is an S model which is factory lowered. The second new vehicle I have ever owned. FWIW this...

Can you translate that for the hard of thinking? Where do the leads go and what am I setting the meter to?

2006 klr650 - 613$ 2025 klr650 - 847$ from Desjardin. Newer bike has ABS and is a safer ride. Riddle me that one.....

The line out of the CDI to the coil (+ side I believe) is getting about .5V with the engine cranking over. If the engine cranks then kill, neutral and clutch interupts are good correct? Not sure what this means or how/where to get the reading.

KLR has no spark. Checked with a meter when cranking the starter the power into the coil was around 0.50V. I was expecting much closer to 12V. Popped all the connections between the CDI and the coil cleaned them all and it made no difference. Thoughts?? The way I've ridden this thing hard and...

That can blow up in your face. "Sorry we don't insure anything over 15 years old"

Is the helmet in exchange for a carry on bag or does it qualify as the "personal" bag?

Thanks. Both rides are about the same length. Can't see riding to either location w/o gear so I'd likely trailer over. That means an 11am start works much better. I don't know what I'd wear but it can't hold a candle to that gangster shown above. Where's your violin case?
