Dear List,
I am not the "Worlds Fastest Indian" but I may be the worlds fastest
rev on a KLR!
11 May 08, at appoximately, 1430 MDST, level ground, I hit 115mph
indicated, --and that is into approximately a 20 mph crosswind off the
starboard bow. How about that! cough.

(1998 KLR w/ 22,7xx miles)
ps Yeah. More to follow. cough.

Rev,
I've hit a hundred on mine a couple of times on flat ground with a slight
tailwind and that seems to be all she's capable of....
Mine is (box stock) and even has OEM tires.
What's your secret?

Indicated you say.
Does that mean speedo or gps
I've had mine to 120 speedo ,Which is 108 gps
I don't even look at my speedo anymore.
Thats all it will do.
I did that trying to stay with a group of sport bikes
on about a ten mile stretch of interstate.

DING-DING-DING! WE HAVE a WINNER! Wayne 'reads' the post correctly!
Not in a pick up truck, not in a chopper (which by the way, I gave
them back their keys to the helo in Jan--now full time pastor again)
and not drafting a big truck....
Crazy speedo. Steady 75mph indicated, 5500 rpms w a 14/43-sprocket
combination. Gradually, the speedo got faster and faster until it
topped out at 115mph 'indicated' but the bike was still a steady 5500
rpms.
Fellow poster Jeff Saline suggested the speedo head neads a little 3-
1 oil. Tomorrow, another KLR task...will that count as a numbered
farkle?
You can see it now: Farkle#146--well oiled speedo head. cough.
More later on a new-to-me 98KLR650 and the 2300-mile trip to get it
home...
