hello, hello anyone here?
Ok maybe an update to keep the thread alive. Too much DR stuff on KB.
Blew my rear shocky again so have odered a Ricor one which is due soonish. Ordered the heaviest sprung one as my weight was just under the low limit of the heavy spring specs and i am sick of bottoming out the standard one. Just realised yesterday that mine has raising links so that will make the spring even harder i think so time will tell. Will update when its fitted. Weirdly the Ricor shock has no damping adjustment, odd but then I run with as little damping as possible anyway. Hopeefully the rear will be really good, but will make the front seem way worse than it already is so maybe a USD fork ugrade next year if the Benelli doesn't take up all my shedtime funds.
The WR muffler has certainly made a difference to the smoothness of the bike for some reason, and it doesn't backfire anymore on decell. Dunno if it has got anymore hp, can't tell, don't care.
Who elses KLRs turn the front wheel opposite to the disc side under hard braking? Mine does it quite badly now.
That should be enough for now.
Bored tonight.
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
Finding new ways to fall off
was reading Wilddog (SA adv site) and came across this picture, I seem to remember an exact same bike in an exact same situation - have we found the only weakness of the mighty KLR? Seems it may not be rider error but an air intake that may be too low??

My 2008 doesn't have the fork twist problem but gen IIs have 48mm diameter fork toobs. Do you have a fork brace? All the bolts tight?
Agree that theres waaaay to much DR stuff. Even the mountain bike thread gets more attention than this one.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

Too Much DR stuff? is that because the owners are always working on them, rather than riding them...hello, hello anyone here?

Loose axle clamp?
Does it keep turning or just turn a set amount through the bars?
Notchy steering bearings?
I know mine are far more noticeable with a passenger/more loading.

450 I think, it is quite long so goes up on an angle which looks quite cool IMHO. Had to make a sort of "s" shaped join by cutting and welding for the mid pipe
Doesn't have axle clamps, bearings are not notchy but have never seen daylight since I have owned it so maybe need a looksee. Just turns a set amount, actually counter steers so is quite handy depending on which way the corner is going

Errrr yeah, been reading too much about Yamaha USDs.But the sliders have probably shrunk in the wash to about 41mm, 3mm bigger than the gen I's
While on that topic, are USD Showas any worse / better than the Yamaha forks? They (Showas) don't seem to figure much in the fork swap articles.
