A fantastic video, thank you. It seems you know how these things work, so I'm going to post below what I've written to other forums in an effort to resolve my odometer issue😎 I've got an issue with my Gen 2 (2012) KLR 650 that nobody locally seems to be able to explain, so I'm hopeful that the collective expertise in this group can help me find a solution. My dash displays in Kilometers and the speedo is accurate. However, the odometer and trip meter both under-read, and display how many MILES I've travelled. IE: For every one kilometer l travel, the trip meter and odometer show that I've only travelled 0.6 of one kilometer on the dash. I've tested this over known, longer distances and it seems that while my entire dash display is in kilometers, the gear mechanism for the odometer and trip meter is designed for a dash that displays in miles. I wrote to Kawasaki a week ago and am yet to receive a reply. I suspect that the problem could be rectified by swapping out the gears designed for miles for those that read kilometers, but haven't come across any video or written instructions on how to do it. I did see another reported instance of this problem on Reddit, but no solution. I'm the third owner of the bike so don't have any idea when and how the problem occurred. Apart from it being a real pain in the arse, l obviously don't want to be missing major service intervals or running out of fuel. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers!😎
Option 1. I don't know if you can surf, but if you can stand on a skiff, I would like to see you put it all back together and show us how you can ride it on a lake, a calm river, or just a pond I don't mind?
Please make a same video on Royal Enfield GT or Interceptor 650 cause there's a confusion on my mind about spark plug, TPS and fuel injectors connections with M-Unit.
Hey, Taylor I have been watching yours videos for longtime, can you tell me what happening to you man you are one the best in every way so please drop me a message just so maybe I can understand yes life is not easy take care Robert from Australia
If you vaporblast carbs bodies its a good idea to hit them with a matt clear so they maintain that new look or theyll oxidize pretty quick, especially if your bike is left outside.
I wanted to put a tmi roof in my 67 Camaro but they would not let me buy it Without upholstery on it, I wanted to put my own upholstery look so I would not buy it from tmi. Then TMI was charging me more at the checkout when I already got a final price I was gonna buy the whole interior but since they charged me more I didn't buy from them watch out when you buy it from tmi
this is what I like to see just Honda engines running on a bench without wiring harness just a simple hookup no safety at all coil battery CDI roll of wire and let's make the engine run good stator good trigger
need to do this with a CM400A 1979-1981 engine just need you to use CDI engine good stator trigger battery starter motor and just start the engine with a roll of wire we are not all rich . Just make a bench test setup just the engine running on bench with a battery, coil, universal auto horn button, CDI and a roll or wire . can you do it????>
If your connections are melting also test your rectifier and stator. Ampage draw over voltage etc etc affects current flow burns wires out. Also Chk earth straps to tight.
I hear you say your picking up a bike in Dallas TX in one video to work on. Where are you located? I wish you could fix my bike! 1972 Honda CL 350 Scrambler😂
