Snakeshack Mod....

[Tim]

Spring is coming boys.....I was out last night riding by all my neighbors with sleds and revving my new "Snakeshack" modded exhaust.  The scooter finally sounds like a thumper.  A good mod for next to no $$$ and the throttle response is much improved.  It was a bit too icy to get up to highway speeds but I like what I hear and feel so far.  Thanks to "snakeshack" for a nice cheap mod...  and to all my neighbors with sleds....its raining out today!!!!!!!

Do you want pictures of the rain as well?

[snakeshack]

I can't take credit for this one, just credit for spreading it around here and documenting the work I did. I'm glad you like it. I am very happy with the results myself! Quick, cheep, great sound, and reliable performance!   

What tip did you use?

I have a friend of mine machining an insert....something simple.  I couldn't wait for him so I had to fire it up last night and go for a rip....even with 3' high snow banks and black ice at every corner....... it sounded great and I can feel quite a difference.  The holesaw cutting was a real pain at first so once I had a little trough cut into the pipe I drilled as many 1/8" holes as I could around it.  It cut much quicker after that.
Again, great mod Snakeshack.....cheap and with instant results.  Now I need to get a KLX needle and new main and then I'll be in business.

  Oh ya! You think your happy now! I did mine and it's a different bike!

Also drill out your slide to 7/64th and remove your snorkel.

I got my stuff threw Schnitz (the home of the late great KLRCary) it comes with a nice "how too" sheet. I would start with the clip in the 2nd notch and a 142 jet (the KLX needle is much richer) with the mixture screw at 2 1/2 turns from the bottom. Mine feels great at all RPMs!

Good luck!

22 cent mod already done so I just need the needle and jet.  I'll be sure to contact Schnitz.

Oh! sorry, didn't know this was the frugal mod. Was looking to do this myself.

Do it you won't be disappointed.............
