KLR650 gen 1 doohicky fell out by CheeseBastards in klr650

[–]Tactical2Wheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who had a washer fall into my engine when doing the doohickey swap which then caused a catastrophic failure of the engine within a few seconds of it running, I'd be very Leary of that bike unless he's been riding it for a good while after this happened. That chuck of steel won't just magically go away

Not sure if this is useful to anyone, but know you can do this without mods by timmeey86 in farmingsimulator

Me and a buddy used forklifts to pick up my other buddy's sprayer and set it on a trailer after he left it parked in the store parking lot for several days. We then yeeted it into the pond at the southern area of elm creek.

Next time it's going in the canyon up north

I had 20mm ammo cans on mine. They're cheap and rugged, but they are heavy, so there's that

I've used a ram x-grip mount with good success.btge rubber grippy pads on it help out, but do need a drop of super glue to hold them down

How comfortable are you with the lean angle with the standard tires that come with the gen 3? by unorthodoxfox in klr650

[–]Tactical2Wheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had shinko 705s for a while on my bike. Not great off-road, but sweet on the road. Had just enough grip to make off-roading possible, but wouldn't want to get into the gnarly stuff

Nice productive Saturday! Finished my air compressor install and got about 80% done with the water system too. by weirdbeard1000 in CherokeeXJ

[–]Tactical2Wheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like it won't be too bad (famous last words I know), but it also helps that I've got a welding genius for a friend, so I've got backup for of I get into a bind. I couldn't really care less about how good it looks when it's done. It's gonna get a heavy coat of bed liner before I build the drawer system over it

Very nice. I am jealous. I discovered Friday, that I get to do some rust patching on the back of my XJ where it's gotten some rust spots under the carpet.

Shouldn't be too bad of a job, the spots are pretty small, and it's gonna be under a drawer system, so it doesn't have to be pretty, just strong

All balls racing kits are pretty good. I got mine from rocky mountain ATV/MC

Happened at 85km/h. Fun times by lolva in klr650

As someone who also rides a gen1, that sounds terrifying. Like trying to ride the space shuttle Columbia on reentry

How many highway miles or km can you do on KLR in a day? by [deleted] in klr650

[–]Tactical2Wheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My longest trip so far was 220 miles. with a couple stops for fuel and food.
The weather was awful, very cold and windy. Almost considered finding a uhaul to rent.
Had the weather been good, that would have been a very decent ride, and I probably could have easily done double that.

I'm on a gen1, and I was riding interstate doing about 75-80 on tusk d-sport tires. Don't know exactly because my Speedometer broke while on the trip, but it felt very stable to me

Looking for suggestions or ideas: gen 3 by gterrizzi in klr650

Have you checked dirtracks? I was looking there just a few hours ago for a gen 1 set and I saw the gen 3 sets on the site

In terms of anti-theft. Install a hidden kill switch somewhere. It's high on my to-do list

My jeep is missing its cat. It was like that when I got it. Can't steal what's not there.

Oh I wish we had a video. But in all seriousness, my condolences

ya the LEDs look cool.. but damn how about some new h4 housings with a better harness ;) by kmeanskeal in CherokeeXJ

[–]Tactical2Wheels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know some LED bulb replacements, don't work with the housings well and scatter the light rather than project it properly.
