Looks weird. Dump the URL into http://babelfish.altavista.com, select German 
to English and then marvel at how pathetic the translation can be.

This is from the details lower down in the auction:

"Exactly in the phase after the cold weather starting, the twin Tec KLR 
system begins. Dependent on the temperature of the cooling water, the load 
and the number of revolutions of the engine by way of a nozzle a certain 
quantity of additiver combustion air is supplied to the air intake system. 
The Abmagerung of the air/fuel mixture leads due to the higher availability 
of atmospheric oxygen to a substantial reduction of the emergence of the air 
pollutants HC and CO. It leads these exotherms oxidation procedures further 
to a faster heating up and thus to a faster taking effect of the catalyst 
whereby the entire mission of the vehicle in the cold run phase is finally 
reduced drastically."

Sounds like those ecotek (??) stuff they used to sell in the UK. Allows more 
air in to reduce emissions.
