I'm prepping to do the 6000 mile service this weekend...Any recomendations
on what type of grease to use for uni-trak and steering stem bearings? I'm
not trying to start a big debate I just have zero knowledge on grease (other
than the stuff my dad used to use in his hair).

For the Unitrack find a good moly-disulphide grease, the more moly
the better.
As for the steering, maybe use something marketed as water resistant
like "boating" grease, the kind that is generally a blue
colour. !

Brad:
Warming of tires is absolutely normal, especially at freeway speeds.
Besides, it is the warm tires that allow you to drag the pegs in the
twisties as your passing all the sport bikes. Haha. By the way, I
hope that you are not running 28psi in the front tire as well. I
would keep it between 19-21psi.
Aloha,

Subject: Warm Tire
Has anyone noticed that the rear tire on their KLR
gets pretty warm when in use? I noticed that mine gets
warm to the touch, not hot mind you, but warmer than I
would expect after a low speed run (< 55mph for 4-5
miles). I know that there is friction between the tube
and the inside walls of the tires but this being my
first bike I don't have a reference point as to normal
operating temperatures. The front gets warm too, but
not as much as the rear.
BTW, I run my tires at 28psi.
Thanks all,
Brad A9
