[dsn_klr650] tires/nklr
I just put on a Michelin Sirac on the front and I have a Dunlop Trailmax on
the back. So far my impression with them are really good. The Front is
very smooth and seems to be great in the rain. I know this because for the
last two days I have been riding in the RAIN!!! But watch out for wet grass
or wet sand for the rear. I discovered my KLR does not like that terrain.
But the hard pack trails are great. No problems. Mud on the other hand???
You need knobbies for that stuff. The front is 75% road / 25% dirt. And
made for rain.
Good luck,
Van

Deks:
If your Dunlop is a 130, then with a 140 is only 0.5cm
more in each side of the tire.
Thanks

Well first of all, If you zoom in real close you can see rain drops on it.
And it is a new front tire. And if I took a shot of the under carriage you
would notice clumps of mud that is stuck in the bash plate. If you could
see the GOOP job on those tabs on the radiator shroud you would see
differently. As for the front fork protectores. Well when I took off the
front wheel to change the tire I cleaned em up a bit. Sorry for the
cleanlinest. But it's hard to go offroad riding when your with a Harley
Davidson rider and a Honda Shadow rider. There just not into it. Haha. I
need to find me some real friends. Can't wait to get back in the states to
hook up with the list.
Later,
Van
