Extra crispy....

I thought that all KLR pistons looked like that.

Is that a hole burned through the top of it, or a carbon deposit?

That was the first thing I checked. The previous owner did an Eagle Mike job, and the spring tension was good.

I think he sucked some water in through the air box, the sludge in this fucking thing is unreal, (it's only got 20K on it

Aside from the fact that it's completely fucked, it seems to have been in pretty good tune.
