[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 210126, member: 3959"] Oh yeah, the ongoing saga; Okay, so a couple months ago I was monkeying with the carb and thought that while rebuilding it I had mistakenly put the steel spacer [I]under[/I] the jet clip, instead on top of it where I saw it on a fiche. So I tried to get what I [I]thought[/I] was this spacer out from an area on top the slide, which I thought it was stuck in. A thru-hole type of area. Well one great idea led to another and the drill came out. Long story short, it wasn't a spacer, it was the top of the slide where the jet clip sits, and it is now junk. So I got onto the KLX650 Yahoo group and a guy from Scotland or Ireland (I forget which) sent me a slide that was off his KLX650C, which is different than mine, more of a streetbike. The only thing different though was the size of the hole in the bottom of the slide, it was smaller. So I was out in the garage a few weeks ago modifying the hole, doing the .22 cent trick, and making the hole gradually bigger when I took it for a test ride and layed it over a block from my house on the pavement. I broke the clutch perch and bent the shifter. I just replaced the clutch perch tonight. Hopefully this weekend I will get the new rear tire on, bend the shifter back, and actually take it for a real test ride. I think I still need to make that hole bigger because it doesn't get up and go like it used to. [/QUOTE]
