Alright,I am going to lay this out for you. I'm 5'8 with a 28-29"
inseam AND I weight 325. How low can I take a KLR and have it still
support me.
I sat on one a few days ago and I had to use my tiptoe to touch the
floor. I WANT A KLR but I dont know if I can make it work for me.
CAN I make it work for me and if so, how?
Thanks in Advance,
Chuk

Have the shop check that the rear shock preload is set to low (1, I
think) and try it again. With 325 pounds in the saddle, you should be
compressing the spring pretty well at that setting. Thicker soled
boots make a big difference, too. Also, how much foot do you want on
the ground? Tip toes on both feet is about what I have on my DR-Z, I
get the balls of my feet to the ground on the KLR. You get used to it.

Hi listers;
The motorcycle is a low-miler 1991 Tengai. Objective is to determine
if low enough production to qualify for collector status, major cost
difference for insurance. Can anyone direct me to the serial number
records, or helpful contacts in the KHI company? Thanks for this group!
Cheers, Pat.
