Made in Germany.Looking for a good tire.75% road 25% dirt roads/trails. I am afraid that AM 24 Gripsters won't be agressive enough.Are Gripsters worse on dirt than an a stock KLR tire? Dave

Yes, I use them and can honestly say they are great tires for both street and dirt. I got over 9,000 miles out of a set, and have a complete report with user update of the MEFO Sport explorer online at http://www.angelfire.com/co/klr650/rearaxle4.html I used to primarily use Gripsters, but have also used Distanzis and IRC GP110s.

I run MEFOs too and I don't know of a better match for the KLR's capabilities. Try 'em - I can't imagine you'd be disappointed.

I broke mine and I am dreading to see what kind of damage there is on the inside of the engine case. I have kept the balancer chain tensioner adjusted as per factory specs. Looking at the price of a new chain at $258 has got me kind of miffed. A new engine case for the left side costs $140. How can they justify $258 for a friggin' chain? Do any of you know what might have caused this, and has it happened to any of you? Thanks for letting me rant. Kevin
