Hello Wayne,
Ping this guy--he just moved from down-under and even has a KLR for
sale in OZ--not an 06/07 shrug. He should have contacts in OZ, maybe
even some-don't-contact folks. cough.
phillip.benefield@...
OZ by the way is the only place you can buy JT-46T sprockets. When
combined with a 16T for paved road or 14T for off/pavement, it makes
the KLR a whole different beastie.

Top posting, 'cause I'm used to it....
Wayne,
let me know when you got some dates of arrival and I might be able to
help you out.
Happen to live in Sydney (the one in Oz).
There are not many KLRs down under, I should add. I came across 4 or 5
in the last few years.
....Still reading your blog... excellent trip!
Cheers,
heinz

pirelli scorpion a/t

Just installed a Pirelli Scorpion A/T with a Michelin tube on my A14.
Nice tire! and a nice heavy duty tube, too. Works great for the street
anyway and looks like it will handle gravel roads no problem. Rumor
has it that it's no good in sand or mud, but from my brief experience
with the KLR with Kendas on snow I think the KLR is just too heavy for
that stuff anyway, unless you're a more skilled rider than I am. It
was light years better than the Kenda on the street even before it was
scrubbed in. It ignores rain grooves on the freeway and I can squeeze
the brakes as hard as I can and it just grips - on dry asphalt anyway.
I'm stoked. Still running the Kenda rear.
