KLR is really aren't designed for what you're doing they're designed for just highway street riding and then the occasional dirt road they're too heavy for this off-road single track stuff what you doing what you have is a really good fight design for more of the Motocross than the street writing so you got a great bike there

My question is how do I clean the latch and oil it? I’ve tried mass airflow sensor cleaner and multiple water based oils and silicone based oils and it gets so gunky and I can’t get it cleaned out. Some fresh oil helps it for a little bit but after a single day it’s gunky and rough again. The problem is I can’t open the door from the outside when it’s cruddy, only the inside.

Here’s what I know… When in the mountains: 1.) never use cruise control 2.) use Tow Haul In General: Only use the gear selector to set the range, not to shift on the go. Change transmission fluid and filter every 30,000 miles because the torque converter is the weak link and can burn the fluid which wreck the rest of your transmission

I must be dead inside because I’ve read so many complaints about vibrations on this bike and it’s never bothered me. I have an FE501S and do 150-175 mile days in the desert riding all kinds of terrain and I have no complaints. Stock cockpit, foot rests, seat, etc…. Just balance my wheels and I run mousse front and rear on Kenda DT Parkers. Also ride plenty of single track and on the road occasionally. Will do 80 on the highway no issues

Ive owned several dodges over the years including a 2017 promaster and bulb contact corrosion has been a repetitive problem. I am a mechanic and have learned over the years to ALWAYS use dielectric grease (also sold as bulb grease) whenever relamping. oxidation requires oxygen. Go figure. If the metal surfaces are coated with something, no corrosion. Some folks believe putting a grease on an electrical connection is bad. NOT SO with dielectric grease. I also have a set of miniature files that work great for cleaning the contacts prior to grease. Also white vinegar a mild acid will help clean off corrosion. You can put anything rusty in vinegar for 3-4 days and the rust just slides off. If you have trailer lights Im sure you have encountered poor connections at some point. That connector has 12 volts on each terminal except ground when in use. Rain water on a piece of metal that is energized is bound to corrode. Clean them well and use dielectric grease and no more fussing with bad trailer light connections.
