Default Ride Report

Put about a 100 miles on this weekend riding in varying conditions of mud, trails, hill climbs, sand and pea gravel. Sunk the lil klx in about 4 feet of water, fished it out, drained the carb, pulled the plug, cranked a few seconds, reinstalled the plug, and she fired right back up (airbox was dry, as was exhaust).

After that escapade, later in the day the chain got knocked the rear off 7/8s of the way up a hill by a rock haha that was fun! thank god for a case saver! A few cigarettes and 45 min later i had the chain untangled and reinstalled. Didnt get any terrain pics but have a few of the bike! Will post after I upload them.

Was really pushing the bike hard hittin the limits off it power wise on hills and suspension wise too, but was attempting to follow an 01 cr125 and a yammie banshee, was semi successful too on everything except straight aways where they would promptly check out.

We did 100 miles today and about 70 yesterday. It was my first ride in 4 months and I'm whipped.

Did you check the sight glass for gray oil? You probably sucked in water. Give it a look see.

Yeah I checked, Oil just got changed before I sunk it, and I actually just finished changing it again for piece of mind. (skipped the filter though, it only had a 100 miles on it) thanks for the suggestion though! I was also thinking that the bike would get hot enough to boil any water in the oil out on the ride back to camp but not sure of that so i went ahead and changed it anyways. Im rambling now!
