I think we should get Kawi to sponsor a team from this list for the next P-D. No wonder we never get any press, we're not visible enough! Lets' do it the KLR way, though. No fancy support trucks or crews to work on the bikes while we sleep. Just a gas card and a saddlebag full of spares. Yeah, it'd be cool. I'll bring the beer. Then again, a team from this list would probably spend more time arguing about what kind of oil to use than racing. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) Cheers, D. GBG eh14

I was lead to believe, many years ago, that air in the forks causes two things. First, it promotes stiction which is bad, and it also promotes the aeration of your fork fluid, also bad. Plus, if you allow the pressure to build up in your forks, say hard riding with altitude changes, you can blow your fork seals. I believe that the bleeders on your fork tubes are better used for releasing air pressure and not adding it. As for the shock, without seeing it, it is impossible to say for sure, but, WP does also stand for White Power which is primarily into forks. It also stands for Works Performance which does make shocks. I would lean towards the latter since they do offer a shock for the KLR. Hope this helps. Jim Sherlock
