The amount of travel is more important the faster you go off road. Have you ever checked on the amount of travel that current trials bikes have? It is usually less than the 2008 KLR. So in my opinion if you are going at reasonable and prudent speeds, for a KLR, off road and the forks are in good shape you will be fine. If you hit some huge pothole on any bike you will be in trouble if the pothole is big enough. Alan Henderson A13 Iowa Tom Schmitz wrote:
