KLanceR 3 Posted March 29, 2021 Hi everyone and thanks for letting me join the group! I'm new to the area and riding dual sport motorcycles. I picked up a used 2013 KLR 650 back in October and I've been out a few places so far (Barstow area, Palomar mountain, Ramona, etc) and I was able to do one of the training classes at RawHyde Adventures. I've been riding motorcycles all my life and still have my 1993 Honda Shadow 600 VLX, but I am new to riding off-road. Looking forward to finding some new places and people to ride with. Also, I'm trying to find the previous owner of my bike as well to see if he/she did any internal mods to it. I bought it used from GP Motorcycles down in San Diego and it had about 18,000 miles on it. -Lance 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 887 Posted March 29, 2021 The KLR is a pretty capable machine, you can find a lot of fun on that bike. Welcome to the group, see ya on the trail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSM8 360 Posted March 29, 2021 Welcome to the forum I am also in Escondido, if you ever had a need we would occasionally have tech days at my place (*really should plan another one). Welcome to come by anytime, spent way too much time working on KLR's thanks to @Dan Diego 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KLanceR 3 Posted March 30, 2021 Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm glad to see there are a lot of members in Escondido. Where has everyone been hiding? haha DSM8, I am always interested in tech days. Let me know when. I did some simple stuff like add the Tusk pannier racks, a stronger skidplate, new clutch cable, and recently cleaned the carburetor, but I have a lot to learn. I have my Honda shadow torn apart right now so I can rebuild the carburetor and add some new exhaust pipes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
