Recently I was made aware that the US spec 06 klx did not have a carby heating system.

Then I looked at a US wiring diagram and noticed 2 other differences.

We/Aus/mine has no throttle position sensor and no gear position switch. (only the nuetral light)

It would appear that the US ignition box is more safisticated.

Is anyone aware ofany performance differences between the US and Aus models as a consequence of these differences?
Or are they there for enviromental reasons?

Are there any others?

 

I've rode bikes in that configuration and have noticed NO difference.

 

I think smog was the prime motivator in changing the CDI and send gear info to it.

 

The 09 no longer has the TPS, so it must not have been that important..

 

I hope the webmaster gets this forum squared away before it goes by way of the dinosaur. [:@]

 

This is my stock US carb with the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). I don't notice any difference in performance with this removed. Maybe it's necessary on a CV carb? I dunno much about those at all.

 

Heh Ernie,

Did your stock carb have the carby heating system?
If yes, what did you do with the hoses when you installed the pumper?

 

United States Lawers?

 

lawyers I meant. Litigation ones at that.
