gas filters
I like the clear-cased paper filters that are used on lawn equip.
IMO, much better than the little rock element sifting filters.
You guys have thought this out well.
Funny this was mentioned, I put on one of the clear-case filters on my KLX a few months back after thinking that those little stone filters probably didn't work with a flip. Yesterday I was in Guadalajara at the Suzuki dealer and I was picking up an extra gas filter for my took kit when I ran into 4 Gringos on KLRs. One of the KLRs was broken down with a stuck float in the carb and the mechanic was doing the repair. The bikes were stock '07 I think with no filter other than the screen in the petcock tank. I think the little 15 peso paper filter might have prevented the repair incident.
The guys were on their way to Argentina and I suggested that they put these gas filters on their bikes but they did not seem interested. They also still had the stock sub frame bolts and stock doo-hickey. I hope they make, that's a long way down there and back.
I've been on the fence between the KLR and the DR and all of the good advice in this thread has me leaning to the Suzook again.
