Riders and Maintainers, What is the best way to get this beast up on a maintanence stand to do work when you have to removed wheel(s)? Barry A-7

VERY CAREFULLY! All kidding aside: 1) Position your KLR beside the maintenace stand, with the stand on the KLR's right side, as close as possible to the lower frame rail. 2) Lean the KLR over to its left, using the side stand as a pivot point. 3) Swing the rear end (the KLR's, not yours) so that the lower frame rail rests securely on the stand. 4) Carefully work the KLR onto the stand. 5) Thank the powers that be that your bike didn't fall on you. With practice, this will become second nature. You could also push your KLR onto several 2x4s to increase the ground clearance & slide your stand into place. It probably wouldn't hurt to a have an assistant nearby until you get the procedure down pat. Professor A9 Federal Way, WA. [USA]

about putting a 130/90W in. Just wondering if the bike puts out enough juice to power something that high. Any responses will be appreciated.

I have a Stanley H4 (001-2720) which the previous owner of my bike told me was high output. Does anyone know what the wattage is and where I can buy another one? Brad A9
