[dsn_klr650] 1988 klr650

[Tumu Rock]

On my commute to work this evening a guy rolls up next to me at the stoplight on his new F650 (with the high front fender, you know - the one that's trying to be a KLR?). I give him a "what's up" nod and I guess he took it to mean let's race. He proceeded to rev his engine until the light was about to change to green. I figured ,what the hell, and at the last second dropped it into gear and took off.... After all that revving, he friggin' stalled at the light!!! I felt bad laughing but I laughed out loud for about a block and a half anyway. He's probably going to take it in to the shop tomorrow to see what the problem with the engine is. And they'll probably charge him a coupla hundred to tell him they think it might be that he was running too lean! dat brooklyn bum _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html

Don't feel bad laughing. Was he wearing all brand new DS clothing and a shiny helmet? I laugh at him too ! You have proved something we all know deep down inside.. It's the rider, not the bike... CA Stu

'87-'95 (some '96's) besides cosmetics the only person who really knows any differences is Elden Carl...no reason to avoid an '88 just make sure it has had good maintenance... Kurt
