[dsn_klr650] chain replacement

I too got 17K miles from my original factory chain on my Tengai. I replaced the chain with a DID and got a 16T fron sprocket. The rear sprocket is still original and looks great. I've had to adjust the new chain twice in 9K miles. I use "White Lightning" chain lube. Not sticky, but has more body than chain wax or WD-40.

Hi Fellow Rider, I spent two long years in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Unless they hid them really well from me and the local bike shops, there are no decent trails in that part of the state. The primary problem is that almost the entire state is owned privately and fenced off. I searched for two springs, summers, and falls, only to be severely disappointed. There are a lot of back country dirt and gravel roads that don't really go anywhere, but you can see some interesting country and farms by traveling them. Another problem with the area is that hills are defined as the upside of a gully or depression in the ground. Grand Lake is a fairly nice area. Good boating opportunities at Grand Lake, but I would not expect any decent trail riding. I was told by the local bike shops that one would have to travel to Missouri or Northern Arkansas if one wanted any resemblance of dual sport riding. If you want a reprieve from boating, just to get two wheels under you, take the KLR. If you want true trail riding, don't bother with the KLR. Sorry if I offended any long term "Okies" but I was not at all impressed with the motorcycling opportunities of the tornado state. Maybe there are some hidden riding areas, but I sure couldn't find them, and I looked every weekend. Jim Sherlock
