KLR handling badly

[Woodman]

Got to get up the Cob and finish that ride off sometime - over the other side whatever it's called...

Never been to Cobb yet, Cobber has asked a few times but never at convenient time. Keep posted as to when you are gonna go and I,ll see if I can tag along.

time for an update for anyone who may be interested.

have fitted e09 front and rear and they work good with abour 26 psi, I also heard that fitting spacers in the front forks can help the front end a bit so I fitted the valve springs off my Benelli in there instead as they were all I could find in the shed of the correct diameter etc, and compressed they are about right. The front is way better now and only bottomed the once.
Also removed the snorkel thingy and set the idle jrt screw out 1 and 3/4 turns which gives it better throttle response.
So itis handling better but it wuld have been good to do each thing individually to see which had the most impact, and at the end of the day it is a klr and i need to remind myself that it isn,t perfect.

Visor has too many gorse scratches on it to see good.

I went up tinline too, first time ever been up there but need to go back as there looked like a lot of good excursions .Cool road too yeehaa.

Yep Tinline is great. Right up the end I was chasing the disappearing track, managed to wrap some stray fencing wire around the rear wheel hub. Mr Leatherman to the rescue. Rolled up about 30m of it before I got to the pile of old fence posts.

Nice bit of road, especially the hill climb on the return when you can see a long way through the corners...

Aparently there's a loop track in there somewhere, we found a few dead ends, still a couple of tracks that need further investigation.
Be nice to get across the bridge and onto the other side of the river, but there's a small matter of a 10ft barbed wire topped gate followed by a standard forestry gate on the bridge, must be something reeealy secret over there
