KLR riders out there

[warewolf]

This kind of thing happens to me all the time.

Thought I recognised you in that black bikini. ATGATT?

PS What DID you get up to in Thailand? Some surgery perhaps?!

Sort of a matching set.

KLR650 = Made in Thailand. Modified in new Zealand.
Woodman= Made in New Zealand. Modified in Thailand.





BTW. To minimise gossip and inuendo I came back with all the same bits I left with.

All in the same place, or were some hand luggage?

Bloody Nordie has got me on to eBay - I tell you, the minister of finance is anyway got some foot pegs for cheap (ordered yesterday) and now looking at a aluminium bash plate - reckon it will be here for NZD$150 - what do you reckon? Bargain or could you get 'em closer for less?

Thats a pretty good price, and a necessary farkle. My original plastic one didn't last long at all, in fact the aluminium one I got now looks like it needs replacing soonish.

does anyone know where I could get a klr back wheel from?

I want a roady wheel on one and a knobby on the other

apparently the pre 08 wheels fit (just thinner spokes) - you have to get the newer style disk.

You talking about bash plates or handle bars?

Ditto

I think that the klr is pretty hard on bash plates - the ground clearance aint that flash

it had already occurred to me

as a 'spares' bike its probably only worth about $4k (thats assuming he never let you ride it)

I suspect it might sell easier if he had painted it black.

Thats not a bad price for a bike that year and kms....

The importance of doing your wheel bearings proper.

fFcuk knows how this guy let this go on for so long. I can tell you from experience that the sprocket bolts eating through the swingarm makes one hell of a racket.

Any more photos/link? there's gotta be more to it than just dodgy bearings! i've had the rear brake on the drz lock up in a xc to the point where the motor wouldn't turn the rear wheel (well cooked brake fluid) which left the swing arm very hot to the touch but i just can't see that kind of dammage being caused by a bearing.
