Can't remember, is yours already dual sported? Or do you plan to make a street legal smoker.

 

Yes, street legal in CT already!



The fender bag on the back holds a few tools, reg/ins, and a small bottle of two-stroke oil. Enough for a two gallon fillup (~85 miles)

 

I have no clue why someone wants to point the camera on the front fender PEOPLE please raise the camera so we can see the trail ahead WHO CARES about the fender ! ! !

 

"Moto-Pro .44" from Dan888

Dan,

I see you use the Moto Pro,- front and rear? TNC recommended them, how do you feel about them? Did you install yourself, or have it done?

Thanks,

Tom

 

My 2 cents to this thread is skill is about 99% as a good rider can beat an ok rider on a much less capable nearly all the time. I used to ride with a big group of guys some were pro's and others not so much and I was in the middle somewhere. The fast guys could embarrass you on a mini bike.

 

I hear (read) what you're sayin' guys, but except for Larry's rock climb where's the evidence?

 

Hi Tom, I only switched out the front springs. I got a deal on them from a guy on here. The .44's are one step stiffer than the spring calculator on the motopro website recommend (42's) , but I am really happy with them. the only thing I can say for sure that they corrected was the front end dive ( especially noticeable braking on the street). The fronts are very easy to do, I followed a how to somebody on here posted, NoBrakes maybe. I think the rear spring is also a easy swap, someone on here just did it and said it was no problem. The thing that ol' TNC would recommend, if he wasn't out goofing around, would be to do the valving in the front forks. I think he did a write up about his gold valve install. I haven't done that , but he sings their praises ( and TNC wont steer you wrong).

Back then I added my $.02 to Nobrakes howto thread. Read through the whole thing, you'll get a good sense of what works and what might work best.

 

What do you want to do with the KLX? Any roads? Mostly trails? Tight trails, rocky trails, wide open trails?
The KLX will leave you disappointed if keeping up with the KTMs is all you are looking to do with it. It does everything pretty well, but nothing very well. It's a swiss army knife.

Ive had mine in a lot rougher spots than many, and many of those times I rode it 20 miles down the road to get to those spots. Some of my KTM buddies couldn't do that.











I still have my KLX but I ended up getting a deal on one of my buddies bikes a year ago and now I have this Husqvarna TE 250 too. It's a bike that is closer to what I do most of the time.
