Yup, yup, yup, All internal combustion engines suffer from some % of "blowby". Some of the fuel/air mixture and lubricating oil from around the outside of the piston gets blown past the rings and the fuel/air vapor ends up in the crankcase (why we need a vent) and the oil goes out the exhaust. The faster the rpms the higher the % of "blowby". That's why I check the oil level at every fuel stop. Just my .02 worth, Marshall in Slidell, La 95 KLXC3 "Blackhorse" (in honor of those who served)

Hi Jared, My slightly modified (jet kit, air box mod, pipe, etc.) A13 with stock gearing will pull to the redline in 5th. Jim

I have had my KLR to exactly 100MPH (measured with GPS). It didn't have much left. Pat / Austin
