Around 1200 if I remember right. Sold the KLR a while ago.

😄 yeah. The original muffler sounds special.

Thanks man. 👍 It's not that I don't appreciate the lighter bikes - besides the ZRX and the GPZ900 I also have a '79 KZ650B that I love. Only 67HP but so nimble and great in the twisties... ☺️ My main issue with the 550 was that I am quite tall (1.88m) and just didn't find a good riding position. She went to a good and loving home though (guy with about 1.75 height 😉) and the GPZ900 I got in return is simply a hoot to ride. 😎

These truly are great bikes - both generations. 👍 The 550 was just a tad too small for my height, so I swapped it for a just as nice 1988 GPz900R. 😎

Da hab ich mir einen Schlüssel zurechtgeschliffen, siehe Sekunde 4 oder 5 im Video

What do you mean? Can you explain a little more in detail?

@@nordwind501 like an Evos system but I think only the California models had them I just picked up a project with few stuff missing and I’m currently lost routing the carb

Evap*

Ah okay, the evaporative components indeed are particular to Californian models as far as I know. At least the German models don't have them, sorry.

Hi, what's the question?

@@nordwind501 do you have a gmail I can forward a picture of the carb . The vacuum line at the bottom I don’t know goes . I know where the gas line, breather hose that aims down to the ground, choke obviously . Thank u for the reply man really appreciated

Do you have a shop manual? If not, I recommend to get one, it will make your life way easier. You find one e.g. here: www.manualslib.com/manual/998165/Kawasaki-Klr-600.html?page=22#manual

There's no fuel pump. All gravity/vacuum controlled.

Thanks Mikkel 😊

Graciaaaaaas! 😊

Thanks man. You mean the bracket I had to replace? Yeah, not really eye candy but since it is hidden away, I did not care too much. It is a fast and nimble bike but it was just too small for me so I traded her in for a GPz900R in great condition.

@@nordwind501 thanks for reply, the nine is great as well, its just my friend had a 550 in the early 00s I had a fzr we went all over, great times, anyway keep the right side up, take care.

@@VickersV Cheers, you to Sir. 🤙🏻

@@nordwind501 by the way its not the welding on yours, its just my friend bollox head, at the back over behind the engine we're the welds go.keep it country.

Thank you Sir. I struggled with the title, actually. Since most people wouldn't know what the MGB Tourer means, I added the Roadster after the slash. 😄

Thanks Norbert. Yeah, she's not too shabby for her age. 😊

Originalanlagen findet man praktisch überhaupt nicht mehr in vernünftigem Zustand. Restaurierung wird meist an der Schwarzverchromung scheitern, es sei denn, man findet einen Oberflächenveredler, der sowas kann. Deswegen sieht man bei den alten Bikes eben meist nur noch Nachrüstanlagen. Habe dasselbe Problem momentan bei meiner GPZ900R. 😳 Sorry, nicht sehr hilfreich, fürchte ich.

@@nordwind501 Ja das mit den Auspuffanlagen ist mir bekannt. Ich habe eine originale dran, sieht nur hier und da etwas "scheckig" aus. Lass ich einfach dran. Die Maschine hat original 21Tkm. Kennst Du einen guten Lackierer, möchte Sie im FireCracker Red neu lackieren lassen, Den Dekorsatz hab ich. Schön das paar Leute die 80er Bike`s in Ehren halten;) BG

@@commodore7587 Ich kann dir leider auch keinen Lackierer empfehlen. Ja, die alten Bikes haben ihren eigenen Charakter. 👍

@@nordwind501 Suche nochmal eine z500 oder am besten z550. War mein erstes Motorrad 1985. Super selten und wenn schnell weg. Obwohl nicht soviel Chrom, Gussräder, schwarzen Motor, etwas eckig, nicht so schön rund wie in den 70ern. z1000 MkII komplett verschwunden.

Thanks Brian. Since I am pretty confident that no one would understand me, I chose the written form. 😄

Dave Penn Not noticeable, if any. Only sound and looks. I meanwhile actually went back to the original muffler despite the tweeting.

@@nordwind501 what was the deciding factor to going back to the stock exhaust? I’ve been considering the Leo Vince for my klr

@@zacharybalwinski5950 1. It did not improve performance (at least not that I noticed); 2. The stock muffler suits the classic KLR better stylewise (IMO); 3. I felt that the money was more wisely invested in my KZ650B project. 😎

Man, nice to bad these slip on exhaust are so loud 🔊 !

So sorry man. I have just read that comment right now. Maybe it helps someone anyway. I sanded down the covers and the entire engine. I got some high quality 2 component engine paint in rattle cans and sprayed several coats. I sanded down and polished the protuding sections of the valve cover after the paint had cured.

So sorry man. I have just read that comment right now. It was a very satisfying project and I learned a lot during the process. You're right, it's worth the effort saving these old icons. 😎
