Slaugo 35 Posted December 15, 2013 Just added the KLX needlw from Eagle Mike, Snappy! Super smooth in stall. 2nd clip, 142 main and 1.75 A/F turns. Added some Handgaurd mitts. Was 26 degrees last week and felt no pain with the mitts and heated jacket. Got a Mega tube tool tube mounted. Fabed a steel rack to replace the stock rack for my top box. Got a 16 tooth front counter and DID chain from EM, havent in stalled yet. Added a UNI Air filter and Skene Designs P3 light system. Awesome. Highly recomend for visibility. KLX/Yamaha petcock mod. Just ten months in and over 10,000 miles running strong. Pre Needle install shakedown run. http://youtu.be/szIc0A4paK4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slaugo 35 Posted June 13, 2014 Still riding the big pig! 14 months old 19,000 miles and a few mods. Still running strong. 2nd valve adjustment and second chain set. 8th set of tires and found the Heidenau to be the best for wear. But the D606s for traction of course. Anywho, if you ever come by Central Texas you got a place to wrench and sleep. Ride on, be safe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slaugo 35 Posted May 26, 2016 Howdy Y'all? Looking for a long desert ride June 10Th 2016 from Diego to the desert. Banner grade to the California trail to Oroflame to Canyon Sin Nombre to Sandstone to Diablo to Fish creek to Superstition to Glamis back to Ocotillo Wells and back to Jullian. Have a few potential KLR riders and the flight plan may be subject to change. And I'll have to make it out to Cali with a running KLR thru New Mexico and AZ off road trails along the way. Hope to see the usual suspects out for a desert stroll. Bring water, tools and tubes and an expectation of fun? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanjoosten 4 Posted May 26, 2016 Looks like you are getting more than your moneys worth from that KLR! I should be free to ride on the 10th, but I'll leave it at serious lurker status for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wierdrider 187 Posted May 26, 2016 Nice photos of your Texas rides. How many miles on the KLR now? 87,000? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slaugo 35 Posted September 17, 2016 Big Bend Fed park south Texas. About one of two places that reminds me of SoCal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slaugo 35 Posted September 17, 2016 Black Diamomd all cleaned up. I have to ride 498 miles to get to great riding areas here in Texas. I'm at 43,000 miles. Thought I would have more but I hit a deer at 70mph about a year and a half ago and it put me out for a while with my first set of broken bones. Eagle Mole hooked me up with a new 685 kit and a rebuilt head about 20,000 miles ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slaugo 35 Posted September 17, 2016 I was fortunate enough to hit Glamis and Ocotillo Wells about a year ago and about 6 months ago again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slaugo 35 Posted September 17, 2016 Been working on a single axle trailer from a donation off a rolling Gen I Klr 650. I'll be able to carry my hear on the trailer instead of my bike and the trailer parks in my tent. So no more burying my gear in the sand at the dunes to ride light?

Dust off the DRZ and let's go for a ride. When I first went on a freeway run, I had to look back a couple of times because I thought I lost it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
