  While contemplating Randy's well considered post regarding techniques, I was forced to reflect as to the degree which some of these techniques can be applied to a KLR. Clearly, these techniques are valid and necessary to competent riding so am in no way disputing any of them.   What I do hope is that others will engage as to how the stock KLR/KLR controls lend themselves to these techniques. Secondarily, what have others found to be useful modifications/adaptations to support the application of these techniques.   It would be most interesting to discuss each point of technique in this light, IMO.   Just to begin, and from a general perspective:   Can you lock up your front brake on a bare gravel road? How about bare pavement?   Are you able to pull the brake lever tight to the grip with your hand in your normal riding position?   Can you apply effective off road braking with only one or two fingers?   Can you operate/feather the clutch for sufficient time in off road?   What improvements/modifications have you done which improved the above?   IME, the KLR controls are as clumsy and coarse as is the rest of the bike design. I love the silly things but have no illusions that NASA is contemplating interplanetary travel based on a KLR. My MX bikes have had brakes and clutch action which was "orgasmic" in comparison but have been able to live with the KLR controls and some improvement.   I keep thinking of converting the clutch to hydraulic....   Come on, guys, it's winter. Let's hear some of the wisdom.

Ours usually serve Eggs Bennedict on chrome dishes but always seem to stop around now. I hate that because, as we all know, there's no plates like chrome for the Hollandaise.
