Group,
Will a 5.10 S17 fit on a KLR? I finanlly ran the tread smooth on my current IRC and pulled the new rear tire I ordered a year ago.
Instead of another 4.60 S17 I must have ordered the 5.10. Before I go through the effort of mounting can someone tell me if, and should I run this tire?
Thanks all.
Robert

Speed?
Charlie,, I like your post! Been there, Done that!!!
I have had my 650 up to 80 shortly in 5th of course. RPM's sorta high
but I want to break it in properly , but to the fullest. I have
bought untold new vehicles over my 60 years. I break them in
properly, but never never baby them. I like to vary the RPM's from
low to high as I slowly increase the miles driven. I have never had a
major mechenical malfunction. Maybe I am just lucky.....
What is a "Safe" top speed of the KLR? 90, 100, does anybody know,
she began to feel a little unstable at 80 I found , but there was
some wind at the time. 80 felt pretty safe......
I surely did not buy this bike for speed. But is FUN to be able to go
fast once in a while! Buckets Full of TORQUE! andy

Yup. That's the size of the K270 (a GP1 clone) that was on my bike when I bought it, and the
size of the two that i mounted after that.
