change your colant ever two years- was 2003 klr with 4 thou

[Don S]

I checked out KLR650.com. They are out of stock of the 130/80 rear. I'm trying to find them in Canada. Good luck! I could probably make a pair faster. If any listers out there know of a decent tire outlet in Canada that may sell MEFO sport 99's I'd really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks Don Mike Peplinski wrote: Try this http://www.klr650.com/ or you can google "mefo motorcycle tire" and get alternatives.

Try these guys, in Langley, BC. They can get most tires, and they're all 40% off this week - even if they have to order them in for you. http://westernpowersports.com/

I want to thank everyone for their expert advise. I'll be sure to change my coolant every two years. Also, the point about eh brake fluid is well taken. I'll research on how to change it in the manual or via the web.
