Appreciate it guys. I will be missing my radiator most certainly.. it's a shame that there isn't a KLX400, and by that I mean.. not the re-badged DRZ from 2002-2003. An e-start is somehwere down the road.. I have dropped some serious aftermarket into this bike to make it the most ideal and practical bike for my needs.

 

It's all good man, it really doesn't matter what we all ride, as long as we just ride!!!

 

IDIOT!!!!! You're supposed to signal *BEFORE* you pass...

 

Not so fast. The factory suspension, especially the forks, on the XR are pretty crappy. I recognized that in the first desert race on the KLX. The KLX can absorb the bumps better. Other than that and the kicker, the XR is superior as an off road only machine. The lack of radiators is a good thing, less to bend and break when you go skipping through the desert on your head.

Never needed a new carb, the XR just works. Adjust valves with regular feeler gauges and a hand tools, no shims.

Way better transmission shifting.

 

Who cares if this guy sold his damn KLX so what. Good for him, have fun with the XR I plan on doing the TAT myself and I'm trying to decide between the KLX or a KLR for this. But we'll see....

 

Are we supposed to care what you're doing?

 

I think the most important thing to remember here is


Deej bought a freaking touring bike ! And now he's got Blackheart getting something similar, i mean.... how lame is that ?!!

 

yeah, and deej is a blonde nut with the song as well. "I touch myself" Is this a Pacific thing? lol

 

I cannot stop cracking up. Nicely done!!

awwwsht

 

Whip,

Dont know if your still kicking around but want your honest opinion on the XR now you have had it a few weeks. Is it still all you mentioned.

The reason being, I am at the "do I throw a bucketload more cash at the KLX by Big Boring it" or "sell the KLX and buy the mint condition XR440 complete with off road and supermoto wheels whilst having loads of money left over" crossroads and want some advice.

Never ridden an XR400 and dont just want to jump in head 1st.
