Whose bike?

I found myself standing proudly at the end of that wonderful moving video & starting a slow clap.






Even tho I've never been to Panama, I KNOW that hill.

Your own bike.....................

G'day,
Going to have a bit of a garage day tomorrow, oil and filter and also disabling rear ABS (ie changing and bleeding brake fluid) - interweb (US KLR geeks) reckons it should be done annually
Any school boy errors waiting to trap me?
Cheers
Crim

Remember to transfer the steel tube from the centre of the old filter into the new one.

Definitely agree with that-Ihad to go thru the rubbish looking for mine as I thought they come with the filter. Dont pinch the oring.
After you do the ABS remember to check the traction control (tread depth)

Have you lubed the swingarm bearings lately? Easy enough & saves a bit of drama.



I also have a KLR manual available if anyone wants to purchase one. Looking for around $50 fo it as it already has the grubby fingermarks on the important pages.

Priceless

oil and filter done, brake fluid on both wheels changed, pads checked all good- swingarm taken out and greased and lubed more than a bowl of really slippery things (not quite as humerous as Padmei Shakespeare and the eels and jelly thing)
Anyway had a real tough job getting some of the bolts out and they needed a good sand back and grease - so good call Padmei on doing it now - couple more years and it would have been impossible!

Howdy, anybody got or know of a KLR for sale ~$4k? - I'm looking for an upgrade and there's not much on Trademe at the mo - dammit!

Also my black beast is looking for a new home if anyone needs some cheap quake-proof transport PM me. Aiming to get it onto Tme in the weekend.

Thanks all.

this is an expired tardme listing which has the guys number on it - seemed like good value - no idea if he still has it.

cheers Marks - Yip - nice bike, but no joy, bloke in Paihia has a couple of interest. Just a long way north - but a nice ride home tho... Will keep scratching around.

Well I've owned mine for 20 days now and I really like it.

I bought the '11 on the strength of how much I enjoyed the KIWIRIDER test I did on one and the great price.

It just suits me. Good in Brisbane traffic, goes great on the open road and the shittier the road gets the more fun it is.

Cheap-as to run too.

Can't wait till it's run in and I can flog it a bit. Kinda wish I was back in Unzud to make better use of its off roadability.
