engine talking
When during one of our most intimate moments, my
KLR650 engine confessed to me, that she feels most
happy around 4500 revs or so, she doesn t like to run
at high revs for extended periods too much. So if
you want to catch a roadrunner on one of those long,
straight smooth roads, you should get a heavier
engine, with a lower point of gravity, so you can
comfortably hit that 90-100 mark. This bike starts
to feel just a bit out of control on more than 70.
But that s just an engine talking, what do I know?
Than the Smith and Wesson 38 was very angry because
somebody called him a tool. I am a weapon, he
shouted. I tried to calm him down, saying that you
can kill with tools and stools, and he got more pissed
off, because now I compared him to furniture. So when
in doubt, listen to what things tell you, they may be
wiser than you think.
No, I am not using drugs, that s my natural state.
Weapons are like women, you can t live with them, and
you cannot live without them. Unless you are
otherwise inclined. I should charge for so much wisdom.

What's wrong with the seat? Can anyone recomend a good aftermarket seat? Besides the bad seat and damaging my hearing from the sound of wind against my helmet...they need bigger windsheilds too, it's a good bike. This was my first time on the highway and this bike is not what I expected it to be. I didn't expect hyway riding to be so tiring either. I expected the bike to be a street legal but heavy off roader. I had it in the bush, never road a goldwing before but that's what it felt like. A goldwing in the bush. Although I didn't buy it for it's dirt bike characteristics. Congrats to you guys that ride em as dirt bikes, wow!. Absolutely no simularities to my KX 250. I expected it to scream and be maxed out at 120 km/hr. Not so. This bike pulls! Lots of torque.I think the speedo could be out alot. but I was doing 120-130km at 5000-5500 rpm. So much for the recomended 4000 rpm max for the first 800 miles. 150 km/h was doable- pinned. When I was doing 120 km/h a cop past me and freightliners were doing the same speed. Felt like a 120-130, unless no one was worried about fuel consumption. No vibration, expected alot of vibration. I would like to ride a KTM adventure 650 to compare the two can't see how it could be better and it nearly 2x the price. The tools suck. I expected that. They didn't supply a wrench to fit the bolts on the oil filter cover! The engine exhaust is quite. Making some mods. jetting, Jardine muffler-quite insert, k & n filter. 13 tooth in the front, possibly 42 in the back.

It is planed designed and ready they are just swamped with the USMC bikes they don't have the time to build the civilian model. Plus the government contract is is money in the bank unlike the civilian version. I friend of mine was on the test team for the military and told me the bikes live up to the claim of 100 MPG if you maintain 60 mph or less above that and mpg drops off to 75 mpg average They are slower in acceleration doulbling the zeo to sixy time.

The problem with the Leak proof seals is that they do not contain a tensioning spring and rely on the elasticity of rubber ribs to apply wiping pressure against the fork. Stock is the way to go.
