I'd opt for the 750 upgrade from Steve Kesselring before I went with a turbo. Gino> (broke)?

Steve runs a high performance shop in Alabama. He caters mostly to cars, but has a KLR and assorted other bikes. He bored and stroked his KLR650 first to a 727, then to a 750. He has done another up to 790cc for Sounds of Singles racing and stuffed it into an EX500 chassis. He builds his own piston to match the weight of the stock piston so that the same balancer weights and mechanism can be used. He also re-ports some oil and coolant and changes the plumbing a bit. Anyway, he has about 20K miles on his 750. I don't have his number with me, but maybe someone else may have it. I can dig it up later.

I wouldn't recommend it. I put a turbo on a 900 Ducati and that was a big mistake. Turbos like high revs. Torquey bikes like twins and singles lose their great low-end characteristics. I tore the turbo off of the Duck and proceeded to make more power the old fashioned way, plus I had killer low-end. Just my opinion.

They buy $75,000 boats, lots of electronic gadgets, wear designer fisherman clothes, and sneak way out in the Gulf Stream and eat their little weenies where nobody can see them. It even disturbs the wildlife. Barracuda have been known to get so pissed that they jump right into the boat to attack the offender.

I've noticed a lot of pre-cooked meats and entrees in the s.market lately designed for the lazy soccer mom's. These can be great for the biker who doesn't want to cook for 2 hrs. some say that they require refrgeration but for the first nighrt dinner they stay safe for at least 12 hrs. unless it's desert heat. Also Star Kist now has a dry packed tuna that is in a rip top foil pack. a little cannister of mayo and some celery and onion, bread or crackers for a pretty good meal. sardines are always an option and easy to pack (flat), Surprising how good these can be along with crackers a vegy, and good beer. I'm an old Ditty More stew fan, It's heavy but really a meal in itself,and easy to open with a P38,(always on my neck chain) w/ID tags in case of accident. Also canned meats are the ticket, Vienna sausages,beef or SPAM, and if in country where bears aren't a problem there is usually enough in one ! > > can to save overnight for warming in the AM for breakfast.Don't forget a small strip of foil great for cooking everything from potatoes and onions to warming breadstuffs. Canned juice is alos a great treat or better yet the type packaged in crushable and some times burnable packaging. Always in a small stufff bag: Foil,fire starter,cyclum stick,matches,foil sleeping bag,space blanket,H20,signal mirror, $1.00 cheapo poncho,salt&pepper,head net,bug dope,h20 purification tabs.How about some ideas from the other survival riders. > > > > Sourdough Schaf.
