I finally got the pictures off my camera:







I need to de-rice the bike ASAP!

Congrats Duy!! She looks good.

ragnaroek

nice buy... be sure to do frequent bolt checks, a friend is constantly having things vibrate loose on his

MSchu

Looks like the guy tried to have it set up for motard... bad mistake.

Are those rims OEM? they look aluminum...

Jasper_db1

Thanks guys. The rims appear to be OEM 17" rear and 21" front.

I'd like to swap these tires out for something more dirt worthy. Maybe after wearing them down a bit going up to Miller MSP.

EKsite

^ MMSP?

You headed to WSBK? I'm going to roll out for the entire weekend. And if your doing a trackday there I'm jellies.

*edit* Congrats on your new pickup!

Holy 80's Duy, that thing is sweet. Is the rear tire a Pirelli? Looks like the tire my friend had on his '88 Hurricane that he let me slide around Willow Springs.

Wear those tires out and then look into proper sizes and tread patterns

EKsite, my brother and I will be riding up to Miller for WSBK. We plan on leaving So.Cal Thursday morning.

Billy - the front tire is a Bridgestone BT45 and the rear is a Kenda Challenger.

So it begins. I've gone and ordered pannier racks

Went to a local importer to see if they had any worthwhile greybikes for sale (Hint NC30 Hint ) and when I saw these, I instantly reminded of this thread:




This MC19 was nice too...

You guys are going to give me a complex about the purple :p

I de-riced the bike last night using a heatgun and some adhesive remover and it looks a lot better. the PO gave me a box full of "stuff". In it I found the OEM rear rack, skid plate, and windshield so I put it all back on.

I also pulled the plastics and seat off and checked on the wiring and re-routed some fuel tank vent lines. Over the years, some real hacks worked on this bike! Anyway, I cleaned the chain as best as I could but it seems tight so I ordered a new one instead of messing with it anymore.

This weekend I'll give it a good degreasing and post new pictures

MSchu

I wanna see 3 foot of air

Jasper_db1

Under the front or back wheel? I hope you don't mean both!

MSchu

if you get that suspension dialed in, it will be like riding/landing on feather pillows.

Chronicsinners

Looks great! You need to get some more appropriate DS tires though.

I performed some major maintenance this weekend:

Pulled the swing arm and linkage to repack the bearings. I don't think those things have been lubed since 1995.
Oil Change
Recovered the seat black!
soaked the chain in kerosene and got it really clean. I've never done that before but this chain really needed it.
Adjusted the rear brake pedal

She was overdue for an oil change for sure so while I was @ the dealer ordering a new brake lever, I also ordered a new valve cover gasket so I can look @ the valves this coming weekend. Maybe I'll repack the steering head bearings and change the fork oil while I'm @ it.

Glad to see you're getting the KLR all sorted out. A lot of the maintenance you're doing is stuff most people negelect. Keep it up, Duy.
