court case outcome nklr

[austin2jm]

Hello, Last night I bought a KLR-650 and also joined this list and reviewed the *WONDERFUL* FAQ. I can't say how great that FAQ is to a newbie like me. I've gone over it a bunch of times. Thanks to all who made that possible. Today I put 350 miles on the bike to get a feel for it and identify what changes I want to make. First, I am happy with the bike and tonight will put the wheels in motion (no pun intended) to improve the bike for my needs and style of riding. I would be most appreciative of any comments that any of you experienced KLR folks might have. In some order of priority here is what I plan to do - comments welcome a.) Go to a better tires. I'm less than impressed with the factory tires. My needs and style put me on road about 85% of the time and when on dirt it is dirt road and nothing too extreme. Would love suggestions on tires as I'd like to order them by tomorrow. b.) Change to 16 tooth front sprocket. Anything tricky here? I assume this is a generic part -if anyone knows better or good source please let me know. c.) Good soft luggage bags (saddle bags) -again comments welcome d.) Improved exhaust (I have to believe that there is more efficient exhaust systems for this bike than the factory.) Looking at the Laser -confused by the two choices ...any suggestions on any aftermarket exhaust system for this bike are more than welcome. Gosh, really having fun on this bike so far --this list and especially the FAQ is invaluable. Thanks so much. Gotta go ..time for the eveing ride ..promised myself a 400mile day! -only 50 to go! ..john klr650@...
