Yup, been working on my bike all day to make it a good commuter and street worthy.

Mylil 640 ktm now has street tires on it......ohhh it skoots on asphalt. lol.

Damn gas prices.........it took me over an hour to change the tires and another 30 min to do the oil......ever do an oil change on a ktm.......what a joke... you got to burp the ****.

My bike is still geared too low, bump up the front sprocket or make the rear smaller.....lil help slab *****. bike is a ktm 640 Adv.

 

Yea at $4.60 a gal for diesel, my KLX is the ride of choice. Its a good thing I sold the Fifth wheel a couple of years ago. Or maybe I should have kept it to live in after the bank gets my house. [&:] Hang on gang, it's not gonna get better.

 

Soon you'll be one of us![sm=badbadbad.gif]

 

what gearings on the ktm now ?

 

Thanks evil

I'm runnin 15-44 currently.... I was thinkin 16-44 or .... suggestions?

On a another note..... what psi do you ***** run your tires at?......I put street rubber on my ktm but I'm not sure of the psi....I usually run 18 lol......what's a good street number....35 psi?

 

psi, between 28 and 31 depending on the tire.

gearing. try going up one in the front being its the cheapest to do and see how it tops out. if you went down 2 in the rear it would be like a power down kit +1-2 youll loose alot of jump off the line and the bike will have a smooth take off rather than a stand it up punch but it will save you gas too and allow the bike to ride at a lower rpm. start with the front and post back your findings.

 

For now I'll just try the 16 front, and see how that goes. BTW street tires are WAYYY fun on the ktm.........lol.

 

street tires are fun on everything

 

I want the diesel KLX to come out to the public already. I want my 100mpg.[:@]

 

Did I miss something about a Diesel KLX? I know the military has a diesel KLR 650, but I didn't know anything about the KLX...?
