usmc klr (gas) 650 and the mods, etc.
Hi list,
The past few days of reading all the farkling doohicky conversation
made me wonder, did the original USMC KLR (gas) 650 have an upgraded
doohickey?
Considering the upgrades on the USMC bike, who got to choose things
like, the unique (at least to me) lever-protectors? I have not seen
them in person, are they more effective than, say, Moose
barkbusters? IT appears the military version my also reinforce the
handle bar.
Anybody know exactly what upgrades are included. From the F-1 site,
it looks like tank, shock (I know about the shock, I have bought two
of them), front cowl, engine protector, and some other things changed
for the diesel as seen at http://www.angelfire.com/ut/moab/
Oddly enough, in the diesel pic, the rear brake master cylinder is
unprotected.
Just curious about the gas upgrades, specifically.
Anybody out there ride the diesel bike yet?
revmaaatin.

Hi List,
Mark sent me a question about an earlier post concerning the cost of
the F1 shock.
I bought two to the OEM take-offs, not two of the new-ones. I should
clarify that. Sorry.

Haven't riden it, but seen'em back in Hawaii.
*from what I've been told by the riders* All you said, and different
foot-pegs, different rear-brake lever, and different shift lever.
It's neat seeing a course get taught, and someone go down. They're
taught NOT to take your hands off the grips durring the fall. 'Cause
of those big bars upfront, that's the safest place for your limb.
(they say anyway) Let your hand off, your arm's free, and when that
happens it gets grabbed by stuff.
'Spossedly, there's a new engine (still off the KLR I belive) that's
supposed to run off damn near anything. JP-8 fuel, kerosene (spelled
wrong?), diesle. Come to think about it, I have NO clue how that
could be (glow plug vs spark plug). I could have heard and now
passed on bumb scoop.
I wonder if they do any sub-frame bolt replacements? Now I'm
curious...
