Illegal? Yes.  It is illegal to in any way modify a silencer that has been
approved by the USFS.

Messes up backpressure? BullSh*t.  I _hear_ :-) that it doesn't mess up the 
backpressure but indeed makes the silencer roughly equivelant to an aftermarket
silencer.  Louder?  Not noticeably so.  I passed all the RMEC's sound 
requirements.

I like to spray engine storage spray into the motor before storing them.
It's made and recommended for outboard motors, but I think its good for 
all motors. I usually put a hose on the vacuum nipple and spray it in
through that. For the multi-cylinders, I made a one into four hose with
aquarium stuff.

The bike usually fires up ok in the spring, but sometimes needs new plugs.
Not a bad idea anyways.

With the bike running, spray it in slow enough that the motor doesn't stall
for a minute or so, to let it coat the whole exhaust tract. Then spray it 
fullout until you stall the motor.

The carb should definately be drained. Draining the tank is good, but if the 
fuel level is low, you can easily get away with leaving it in as long as you
fill the tank in the spring.

Donald asks:  Is it DC?

  You would think the current out of the coil would always be going in the
same direction since the moving B field passes the coil in the same direction
every time.  This assumes that the B field is generated with the same polarity 
magnet all the time.  If the magnetic field polarity is bipolar, then I would 
assume the induced current would also be bipolar. (I'm making this up as I go
based on what I sort of remember from an electrical power class taken long ago,
please feel free to shoot holes in this theory.) Anyway, I put a scope on the
coil output from my Husky and it was everthing except DC.  It was a real ugly 
waveform that had both positive and negative going components.  As long as you
are just running lights, it probably doesn't matter.  

  Any idea how the magnets are arranged in a typical rotor? 

Happy Trails,

Repack it!!  Keep 'em repacked or your machine will run like dog doo-keys
I bet you could WRING the spooge out of the packing.

Someone else mentioned that he didn't think he could use normal fiberglass
insulation for repacking his exhaust...Said he didn't think he could get enough
in there.  

Use some bailing wire and wrap it tight!!  I don't think I've ever used stock
of Answer repack stuff...(Same thing anyway).

I don't think I'd try it with the '87, as it's got one of those huge steel 
cans for an silencer/sparky.  I'd highly recommend an after-market 
silencer/Sparky though...  Those stockers weight a TON!!  The Answer S/A Pro
is a good choice, but I think those Acerbis plastic ones are trick too, and
when I spoke with Acerbis three months ago, they were getting ready to release
a forest  service approved sparky...  

An after market silencer WILL improve your power...
If you can't do an after market, don't mess with the stocker, except to re-pack.

>	Also this lid trick, does this work on the 87 as well?

No.    The '87 has a "side access" air box.  the '89s (and newer) have a
snorkel under the seat.  I'd recommend duct tape across the top of that seam
on your air box though, to keep water out.

FWIW - My old '87 would WALK AWAY from my '89!  Wished I still had it.  :(

	Hmm.. maybe.  Forgive my 4-stroke-biased ignorance, but what do mean
by "port it" ?  Does this have to do with modifying the cylinder, er, intake
ports ?  I may just do this if I can figure out how, or who to send it to,

  True.  I put mine off for 1.5 years, but it really needed it .. and a

I posted an article similar to this in June, but the traffic on r.m.d.
was a lot lower and I got no replies, so I'll try again.

To keep up with my two oldest boys ('86 XR100 and '83 PW80) I got an
'85 Husky 510TX in June.  Great bike!  257 lbs. wet, great handling,
and a _wide_ powerband, like from idle on up.

I got a photocopy of the engine shop manual from a guy in Pennsylvania, but
I'm interested in any other information.  Like fork oil capacity, engine
oil recommendations, etc.  I already know the starting procedure!

The discussions recently have been (understandably) Japanese bike-

Sounds like a fair price.  '87 was the right before they made some major
changes to the big XR.  The '88s have a single carb and nickasil cylinders.
The '87 will be about 10 pounds heavier.  

Not that weight should matter.  The big XR is already such a heavy porker
that a few extra pounds won't matter :-)  I just make a point not to be
underneath when it starts to fall.  With strong bars, Bark Busters, and
Acerbis hand protectors, I've yet to break anything in a crash.  

You should go for it.  The enormous power band is a kick.  On a single
track trails, I can typically ride all day in 2nd & 3rd gear with an
occasional fan of the clutch.  You'll really like the extra power on those
long uphills.

Cool - I'm glad you mentioned it.  I actually just keep the cover in my 
gear bag for when it looks REALLY wet.  :)  It's itty-bitty, and probably
doesn't do sh*t anyway...  But my Doctor KDX buddy (ya know, the FAMOUS one)
mentioned it, so I ran off and splurged the $3.95 for the KX lid for kicks.

One other point is, while modifying the exhaust didn't produce any more noise,
removeing the air lid increased the induction noise a BUNCH !  Make sure you
don't ride naked.  :)

I did that on both the KDX's that I own.  I didn't bring it up here
cause its kinda unlawful to tamper with a spark arrester (even though
its the sound baffle thats removed).  You are right though, there is 
a big difference in the power.  I didn't notice any change in noise and
still pass the sound test at all the events, (with porting, ProCircuit

I would recommend a Malcolm Smith voltage regulator.  They seem to work 
pretty well and run about $15.  If you do not care a great deal about the
light intensity, you could just add a series resistor to drop the voltage
across the bulb.

There was another reason for the bulbs blowing also.  If you re-route
the headlight wire so that there is plenty of slack they won't blow.
I thought it was a crock, but decided to try it.  At $25 per bulb, I 
was leary.  What happened was that if you turned hard one way or the 
other, it would cause momentary contact with the bulb it the connector
inside the headlight assy causing some arcing.  I tried it on the 
'89 and never blew another bulb.

You forgot to add that if you do this, re-rout the overflow hose so that
it will spill on the exhaust pipe.  With this done you know in a sniff
if the bike is hot or not.
