Anyone know a reputable motorcycle mechanic that I can bring my 08 KLR 650 in the New Orleans area? On the westbank would be even better!
I want to get a KLX needle kit from Eagle Mike installed. I think I also want to have the slide drilled, and carb mixture screws set correctly. These bikes run lean from the factory to pass the environmental standards. I will also be putting an aftermarket slip on pipe. I hope to wake up the throttle response a bit and generally acquire better performance. Hell she deserves a nice tune up after 20K miles!
If any of you guys have the know-how and like to drink beers and turn wrenches lets set something up!....or should I just attempt it myself? I have done the upgraded chain balance tensioner (AKA Doohickey) which in involved pulling the side covers and gears off of the left side of the bike. I dunno, something just freaks me out about messing with carbs having not done any work of the like before. I feel like I will royally eff something up on my relatively smooth running KLR if I do it without guidance.
Thanks,
