No its on the carburator. When you remove the smog crap your left with a nipple on the front of the carb. Thats where I hook it. I will probably change the pump model for one that is used 4 stroke atv's or a 640 Adventure. As I explain im not sure the 2 strokes pump is the best...I could hook it to the crankase vent but I did the vent modification so I will amost have no pumping effect if I do that. So I will need a 4 stroke pump to optimize the system.

The actual pump is not good. Its design for big pulse from the up and down motion ofa 2 strokes pistons since its normally connected to the base. I have a 4 strokes atv vaccum pump on order that is design to run in the intake vaccuum. Ill let you know how it works.

So I got my new pump yesterday night and installed it. Now works like a charm. I end up installing an Actic-Cat Atv mikuni pump Arctic-Cat part number 0470-758. Its design for the 4 stroke intake vaccuum source.

FOr the one who wants to know...I did test the range yesterday on the road. I had put road tires on it with a winshieldand did a 535 miles (700 kilometer) trip yesterday. I did 165 miles (266 kilo) before engine stall. Then switched to the reseve and went on road back back again for another 48 miles (77 kilo) befor getting to a dead stop. I had bring some spare fuel to refuel...So I did a total of 213 miles (343 kilo) on a tank. Speed was steady at 68-74 mph (110-120km/h) at 6000-6500 rpm. Bike has a 300 barrel with wiseco piston, fmf Q4 with power bomb, n1tc, 132 main, 35 pilot.

Just a brief thread jack...what are you using for a windshield?
I'm considering this model made by MRA for when I do my touring. It's only available in smoke or clear now, but the KLX250s is one of the bikes it's supposed to fit.
