Just a little tuning!

So I have now completely "farkled" this KLR.  First, I got rid of the factory carburation settings (which are set way too lean in order to meet emissions standards) by shimming the needle and increasing the mixture.  Then, I removed a silly rubber piece from the airbox called a snorkle to improve air flow, and replaced the factory air filter with an Uni performance filter, and modified the exhaust system.  The bike ran fine from the factory but by doing the items mentioned above, it has "come alive".    I did loose about 4 MPG of fuel mileage, but the bike still gets 44MPG and I have a 6.1 gallon tank (5.6 useable - don't ask me why - it's one of the quirks about KLR's) so I have a nearly 250 mile range - plenty for my butt's comfort.
