Biker Jones 27 Posted May 8, 2023 After my initial foray into this world of dual-sport/off-road, and doing the Kernan Trail ride with some of you peeps (gosh, last summer already), I've been MIA. Yesterday, I just picked up a new to me bike. 2003 Kawazuki KLX400SR. Whoh, baby! Much different than my XT250. Though much taller, it is much easier to ride. Better suspension, more power, and way more comfortable riding ergos. I chewed up some Bear Valley OHV yesterday right after I got 'er home. Ya know...to test the brakes. Looking forward to some more riding. Let me know if you are going out on a Sunday. That's my only free day. I'm usually avail for a late afternoon/evening on Saturdays also. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What area of town are you in? Might help with coordinating rides Plenty of seat options for that bike - same as the DRZ400 Excellent dualsport machine!

KTMrad 508 Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Welcome, and congrats on the new bike. A quote from Steve McQueen when asked about his brakes... "How are the brakes" ? Steve...."don't know, never touched them". Edited May 9, 2023 by KTMrad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ECDave 91 Posted May 9, 2023 I was on the KLX last summer for your ride down Kernan. as I recall, your a tall guy, you will get used to the highness. (King Joke)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The height is good. I am tall. Just need to learn how to partially dismount in an off camber situation without thinking too long about it and falling over, like I did this past Sunday. LOL.
