Stop bitchin.
You get the 'smog crap.' We don't get any of that cool stuff.

Wait a minute!
You guys got the kangaroo, wombat and koala bear.

So the carb is exactly the same.........but different ...no?

Hey what's the deal with that jump pic in your sig? It looks like the ramps are not really over the trucks. Is that a vintage pic of the Evil?

Snatched it from some site doing a tribute to him when he died last year.
Crazy guy. Tried to jump The Snake River Canyon, on a rocket bike. WTF.
I think it's original. Not sure about the truck positions. Set up for the cameras?

See the full video here.

Koalas are not bears, they are marsupials

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koala

quote from wikipedia

The word koala comes from Dharuk gula. Although the vowel /u/ was originally written in the Latin alphabet as "oo" (in spellings such as coola or koolah), it was changed to "oa" probably due to an error.[3] The word is erroneously said to mean "doesn't drink".[3] Descriptive English names based on "bear" have also been inaccurately used , including 'monkey bear', 'native bear', 'tree-bear' and 'koala bear'.[3]

Good job and good write-up.

I removed my carb anti-ice about a year and a half ago. There's a thread on it somewhere. The only thing I did different wasorder the RH radiator hose for a KLX300 rather than going with a hose joiner and clamps.

The reason I removed mine was because I bought a pumper carb[8D]...DOH! I didn't just plant an idea in your head did I?!

Ride-on!

Managed to get around to removing the carburetor de-ice circuit on my 07 Aus spec KLX250.
There were a couple of tricky points in the removal, so I'll describe them here for future reference.
#1. Purchase a 'Hose Joiner' to replace the metal t-piece in the radiator hose.


#7. Fit the 'Hose Joiner' where you removed the metal t-piece in the radiator hose. Tighten the hose clamps. Refit the water pump drain plug and washer, torque up. Refill the radiator. Refit the radiator cap.

Thought about that, but $2 versus $39 swayed me. OE parts are sooooo expensive.[:@]
As for a pumper, not really moving towards that goal. This bikes got to commute me during the week.
Besides! Most bikes down here are road legal, and I've got my eye on one of these when they're available.

Comes with one of these.
