sorry I couldn't resist.
There is some good info at http://race-tech.com This is the company
that makes the cartridge emulators and they tune suspension for the
pro MX riders. There is also a phone number somewhere on the page.
Ask for Tech Support and you can talk to a real person.
I talked to a guy there and he mentioned that they make a cartridge
emulator for up to a '99 KLR but haven't tested on a '00 or newer.
Good luck.
