I'm going to try the scrub pine enduro in NJ as my 1st enduro- on a 07 klx- any one elso going? any advice?
I picked this one because it has a dual sport class.

Git-R-Done man, and it doesn't matter who wins, what matters is if you stop to take some pictures.

+1 on the pics dave, remember failure to prepare is preparing for failure. Do the routine maintenance, check your bolts, screws etc, clean air filter, change the oil, check your spokes for loose ones. Don't forget tyre pressures, fit heavy duty tubes if possible, you don't want a flat on your first enduro. Just general maintenance, the KLX;s are rock solid imho.. Never had any dramas, done some 400km + rides, did a 200k+ enduro event didn't miss a beat..

Cheers
Chris.

Some wisdom from my first one back in March: go as fast as you can, but don't over do it. You'll finish better in the end if you slow down a little and keep from crashing. Even minor tip-overs will set you back a minute or two, not to mention get your heart racing which won't help things either. That minute or two could mean finishing several positions ahead of where you would otherwise. Also, don't follow directly behind the next guy so if he goes down, you have a place to go around and not get stuck behind him.

Practice all you can before hand. Set up your bike so it is ready - suspension sag, etc. Take off anything that can easily break off like blinkers. You might want to cover your headlight with a piece of lexan.

Good luck! I did my first one back in March and it was arguably the most fun I have had with clothes on.
