My 07 woun't go those speeds in high gear. The engine bucks and lugs if RPMs drop below 3000RPM. This is nothing new. It has always behaved this way. But after riding other bikes on the same roads and not having this problem, I'm begining to wander if something is wrong with the KLR. Is it normal not to be able to drive 40mph in high gear on a KLR650?   Craig Kahler . ____________________________________________________________ [b]Penny Stock Jumping 2000%[/b] Sign up to the #1 voted penny stock newsletter for free today!

That would be a great price for a pair of black and yellow throwovers, for which Aerostich gets $187. But a single bag? A single clip-on goes for $107. Or am I missing something.
