Hmmmm, I wonder if the new KLX FI will slot into the older bikes? Doesn't look like there have been too many engine changes for the 2018.

Wow, those are some expensive single purpose trailers. A couple of years back I looked at these guys: http://foldingtrailers.ca/ Basically a clone of the harbour freight folding trailer but without the registration hassles associated with bringing a trailer into the country. Less than 1/2 the...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think I'll start with the book for now and upgrade to the gps later. Cheers

Anyone use the Backroads mapbook for Cottage Country? It covers a triangle from Toronto-North Bay-Cornwall. http://www.backroadmapbooks.com/backcountry-maps/backroad-mapbooks/ontario-backroad-maps/cottage-ontario-backcountry-maps I bought their Newfoundland book for a trip last year and...

Maybe a stupid question, but why do you need to stick with the Motul? Shouldn't be any issues switching brands or grades. Just buy something cheaper (cough...Rotella...cough).

So, why not just get a decent cable lock and put it through the chin bar and around something solid on the bike (I use my alum. hand guard). Much easier than carrying it in any manner and if someone wants to take it they better have a pair of 2ft bolt cutters or a grinding wheel. Cable goes in...

To the OP, the KLR from the factory is a 50/50 bike. It can do whatever you want but it's not particularly great at anything, therefore it is a dual sport. The strength of the KLR is that it is very easy to customize it to suit your riding style. Wanna go off road (actual off road, not just...

No worse than talk radio, or actively listening to music (i.e. singing along). Really helps with those 700km days on the KLR. To the OP, regular earbud headphones don't do much to block out wind noise (just put them in with no music on and you can still hear everything going on around you)...

If you have the time, get off the main roads and really enjoy the mountain roads. I took 4.5 days to get down to the tail last year and the highlight of the trip was actually the incredible back roads of West Virginia from Blackwater Falls south to the NC border through the GW and Jefferson...

Have you tried using the speakers while wearing earplugs? I use the same type of speakers, but plugged into my phone rather than a comms device like the Sena. I also wear foam earplugs. I can hear most things very well through the plugs. I did buy a mini-amp to boost the volume a bit, mostly...

Greetings all, I've been enjoying the forum for a while now and figured that I should probably step out of the shadows and say hi. So, uh, hi! As you might be able to tell from my name I'm on a KLR650 and have been for the last 4 years, 3 of which have been in Whitby. Anyway, I don't really...
