Hi. is there any chance you could email me the parts catalogue too? am just rebuilding a kle and will need a few bit, have also just cut the back box off my working bike and would like to look into putting some larger jets in too.
my email is nathanstuff@hotmail.co.uk.
this would be very much appreciated.
regards
Nathan

Hey just wanting to report on in my KLE tuning experiences so far, I have a 1998 KLE 400, which to the best of my knowledge is 100% the same as the 500, with the exception of the cylinder bore,

To start with i ordered 112 main jets and the bigger snorkel, The results were okay, but to be honest, I felt a little dissapointed, in search of shims I could only find m4 washers so put one each under the N96L needles, I must say this made quiet the difference, seeing as it was my day off and I was bored I said "Lets do rimfire now", So I did, the bike felt stumbly and whatnot so I swapped out the needles for GPZ400 needles (N31M), this made a lovely difference and the bike was back running strong again, but I did not get to run it for a long journey, The bike has standard headers but with an aftermarket end can.

Which has me wondering what should the next step be? Will a DNA filter be worth buying at this stage? I have also not touched the fuel air screws since doing this but I believe they were around 2.5 turns out, can anyone recommend a change in that?

I can currently do 0-100 in 7 seconds which is not bad at all for a 400. I have not seen my fuel consumption though.

Hi guys, I could do with a little help! I have just had a go at setting my carbs up and I have run into a bit of a problem!
I have a DNA filter and a GPR exhaust fitted, I got a carb tuning kit from sigma6 in the states and I have fitted 110 main jets and 38 pilot jets and added too small washers under the needle, I also turned the fuel screw back then out 1.5 turns
The problem is the bike just doesn't have any go! It will hardly pull over 50mph on a flat road but when you try and pull away the bike just stumbles and feels like it will stall.
I'm thinking it's a lack of petrol, the bike sounds fine, starts ok and idles well.
Any ideas?

Kicking this old thread!

Have been reading this whole thread but with all the minor changes everybody has been making throughout time, I kinda lost track:innocent:

My KLE500 is a 2006 model, so the one with the small snorkel. The headers are the stock ones (so they are the uneaven ones I assume) but I have fitted an aftermarket slip-on muffler which is pretty sporty.

I'm not looking to get a DNA filter because they're hard to come by where I live and when they áre available, very expensive.

But I am interested in getting the richer needles, bigger snorkel and bigger main jets.


If I am not mistaken, I would need the following parts for the best results:

Big snorkel
N96J needles (2x)
Main jet #112 (2x) or #115 when I do the rimfire mod as well

final question: why do I need 2 identical main jets when the stock ones are not equal thanks to the uneven headers?

looks like this thread is non revivable?:online2long:

for those, who still have this great bike with "bad" carb settings, and want to make them "right", like i:innocent:
Changed:
bigger snorkel
112 main jets (same in carbs)
N96J needle jets.
Unfortunately it's winter, so i cant test it. Will wait for higher temperature. In the meantime here is comparison of N60D and N96J needles.

Hi all!

New to this forum!

Have read this thread with big interest and are right now doing the carb mod with new needles and main jets.

My problem is getting the old needles out. As shown in the picture there are a white plastic part inside the throttel which cant come out.

The plastinc thing has five barbs that hooks inside the throttel, and stopping the needle to come out.

I there any easy fix?

If you still didn't solved this - you just pul it out. Try with tweezers
