I just bought a new 08 klr and i im looking for some highway pegs, tall windshield, and other
accessories... I also have a couple questions.... does the old oil drain plug the same as the
new oil drain plug? after the 1,ooo mile break-in, what is a good cruising speed for the klr?
ive heard its OK to cruise at 80, but thats hard to beleive... any feedback and links would help
a lot, email me at Robertham1@........ thank you...

Hi Ron,
There are some bikes that should not be taken some places...but you
just said that. I had a blow-hard say to me, when I asked what kind
of bike he had..."It will out run anything you got." Now, this was
coming from a large statured 60+ male human, notice I did not
say 'man', and then later I learned that this 'speed' machine was
incapable of doing anything constructive, as it had a huge hole in
the 4cyl Yamaha crankcase after being ridden [drunkenly] over a large
granite stone in the dark. go figure.
I related this incident to our friend Jeff Saline one day while we
were wrenching, and he suggested the correct response to such a
'dare' --"it will out run anything you got"--just smile and
say, "Sure, but I get to pick the route."
