Talking Up & running from downunder

Old boy getting back into it.
Got a KLXs 250 at xmas time. (Our Summer) Fun times ahead. Winter starts in June and lasts for only three months, yeehah. Haven't had a bike since 86. Still getting my confidence back.

GOOD FOR YOU, Acole!!!!! I'm betting there will be a smile your face hasn't seen for many years, once you get rocking on your KLX!!!
Life is too short. Get out there and do it!
Oh yeah....we want pics.
Gear up; stay safe, and welcome aboard!

Talking

Yea 86 was a while ago. Here's some pics of the bikes I had back then. The first being a CZ 250 Enduro which I bought in 77 and later rebuilt to look like a CZ 400cc. The other is the fantastic IT 250 bought in 83.

Question Front Forks

Trying to set up my front forks. I noticed that the static sag on the front forks is close to 1 1/2 inchs. Is it possible to adjust the spring pre load. I weigh 187 lbs and i'm picking that when me and my machine get into the rough stuff the front end is going to be a bit lacking.

Try that same question in the klx250 section ACOLE. Some knowledgeable people in the mole section.
