DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

I mounted up a 130/90/17 Kenda K760 on the bike since that's the only rear 17" they make. It's bigger than stock (130/80/17) so it rubbed the muffler when the suspension was compressed. I removed the muffler and persuaded it to shrink with a 5 lb sledge. During the process, it bent the inlet pi...

Due to an unfortunate malfunction in my garage, I broke my KLR250's muffler. I need a muffler to put on it. I can weld up the exhaust pipe between the muffler and header as long as the muffler is sized appropriately. Anyone have anything cheapish?

I never knew that's what trials was (never watched it). That's neat. Maybe I'll try it out sometime.

That's so close to my house. I moved to Berkeley Springs this winter. I might have to go.

I decided to drop my front sprocket two teeth. Now I can wheelie with throttle alone and 2,000 RPM in first gear is walking speed. I hope the sprocket change will prevent me from stalling as much (and subsequently kick starting). I have a set of Kenda K760's on their way as well. It sounds like I mi...

I sent in my registration today. I'll be taking the KLR250, trailering it there, and camping Saturday night. I'm trying to talk my buddy into going with his DL650. He inquired about using my KLR650 and I said that would be OK because part of me wants to see how it'll do after a few new upgrades like...

I know I've done killswitch backfires in that tunnel

I'm no good at wheelies. The little KLR doesn't have the oomph to do it without popping the clutch. Maybe when I change to a 14 tooth front sprocket things will change...

Bought a '05 KLR650 back in May that had been inspected in February and passed. Obviously, the inspection was out of date when I bought it, but not by much. I got temporary tags on the bike, took it on a trip and the bearing on the sprocket carrier went bad and the sprocket carrier wiggled loose and...

My KLR250 is for when I feel like playing off-road. The 650 will be more along the lines of something I'd take to Alaska and back.
