Looks much harder to wheelie than a KLR. I was thinking of getting one but the passenger seat setup is less comfy than the KLR's so why have such a big bike? Unless traveling real far and not too much dirt... Jeffrey 3

#ygrps-yiv-1039520849 p {margin:0;}Keeping gas on, dragging the rear brake and slipping the clutch is a perfectly valid and very useful way to perform low-speed maneuvers. I do it all the time. With practice you can get amazing low-speed control, especially when the road (or trail) gets really hairy.
Does it wear the brakes? Yup. Does it really hurt anything? Nope.
You oughta try it.

nklr [dsn_klr650] seafoam!
I wish I knew about SeaFoam years ago as I have given up on gas WEED WACKERS, seemed like every year when I brought it out,
always had run it dry before, and tried to start it was a total bitch to get started. I now use electric as my yard is in the city and
consists of pretty much nothing..............Does anyone else hate weed wackers as much as I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An of course every time
to the shop was $70.00 for "carb cleaning" and 'adjustment'

It's cheap insurance versus tearing into an engine, carb or a trip to the shop. Used SeaFoam in the crankcase oil of a Honda mower. SeaFoam un-stuck the valves which had hung open due to humdity. Saved me a $75 trip to the small engine shop. Jim Fortner On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 11:04 AM, Dooden wrote: Pssst Seafoam also stabilizes the fuel.. I have seen "Sta-Bil" treated stuff look worse than untreated fuel. Come out Varnished and Gummy.. I always add SF to my gas cans for 4 wheeler, lawn tractor, generator ect, weedeater/chain saw mix. I would'nt use Stabil to start a fire..

Gas goes to varnish in as little as two months due to Calif CARB idiots. In the spring add Seafoam to help clean out the stabil plus any gas gone bad. Seems to work on all my 7 bikes, although my injected Hayabusa does not care at 200 mph (TRE elminated) and in a state with only 200 NHP, no CARB regs, and rural Cows!!!! I'll just ride my KLR instead at reasonable speeds. > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry >
