Well, now, I'm not exactly sure what you boys mean when you say "ping". Part of the mystery, eh wot? But, probably your bike shouldn't make bad noises when it's new. High octane might help -- it's worth a shot...>Hope you can help me with another question. Should a KLR ping when it >is new?
Change the oil, check and adjust if necessary the valves (most dealers will skip that -- watch 'em if you can), adjust the chain, um. I'm sure there's other stuff -- my manuals are hiding from me in my packing frenzy... I'll try to dig 'em out tonight. ---o&>o--- Sarah Barwig sarah@...>Also another quick one. What is involved in the 500 mile service?
