I live in pittsburgh pa, i have had my bike down to FL to ride. It ran fine for me, didnt seem to run any better/worse... maybe the air fuel ratio was better down in FL for your bike, Higher elevation means less air, so lower elevation means more air... so if your bike got more air and ran better im thinking its a little rich and the more air leaned it out and made it run better.

Come on out, you'll need a bike carrier just to get home because your legs will have that Elvis twitch going on.

Bikes are clean cause we don't fall down....well much...and it was raining remember, its white soft sand....not nasty Kentucky dirt.

Salt Air Increases compression? Really? I would think Florida would be the mecca of motorsports if that were the case. Or...... were you kidding? Not trying to argue but I was a mechanic for over 20 years and never heard that before.

Of course it does, basic thermodynamics ..... why do you think the Daytona 500 started here....those cars racing on the beach were fast for a reason.

I really like the Kenda Trackmaster II rear for soft sand and longevity .... their front kinda sucks and I have not really decided on a good front that I would recommend for soft sand and decent longevity on asphalt....if you find one post up. I just ordered a MT16 for my adv.....gonna give it a good asphalt test and see how she lasts.....but I think you could do better for the klx, perhaps not thou.
