Which tire is that?
And that black soot on your fender is not pretty. Don't take this as beating you up as I know as well as anybody how challenging a carb can be.
But I guess maybe I am beating you up
Metzeler Karoo 3. Its a 60 durt/40 skreet tire.
I agree on the soot. I have after market exhaust and air intake box mods i also drilled the slide on the carb.
The KLR is a known oil burner.bad...the 08 especially which is what I have. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Im sure I could probably mess with the mix a bit more but I went with the mfg recommendation on jets when I did my carb kit and slide modification. It runs well and is much more responsive now.
