    Yeah I know you say that every time. And I say I use 95RON most of the time and use 91RON when available and have no issues when used sensibly. This is the same with the S10, Strom, SV650.

    And it is just because I often don't have a choice AND I HAVE FOUND that used sensibly it's not an issue.

    Just FYI

    95 RON is often labelled Premium in OZ.

    S10 compression 11.0:1 No knock Sense -Twin spark
    DL1000 11.3:1 No Knock Sense - Single spark
    SV650 11.5:1 No Knock Sense - Single spark

    Hi guys, newb here.

    What size hex removes the axles? Toolkit seems to be missing a piece.

    Gotta get tires swapped and I'm stuck....

    Thanks Ryan

    ps - my search function freezes my computer, I tried.

    I think it's a 19mm.

    One of these is way handy in the tool kit.....

    You can also just use a 19mm bolt head with some vice grips. Can't take the KLR out of me.

    After seeing your Yearbook photo I can see why you chose to wear the helmet.

    Silly question, I know, but has anyone heard updates on Wasp's high fender kit? :ear I've searched, but still nothing.

    I've got a chub for this, and his fork guards. Tempted to do something myself, but his setup is super clean! :deal

    No, just me extinguishing the thought of telling everyone on the K1600GT thread how awesome the new FJR is but I figured if they wanted to know about that bike, there was already a thread for it. :lol3

    Yabut, the 1600 eats the FJR much like the new GS walks all over the Tenere. Duh.
    I will only ride mine in the dark now for the humiliation of being seen on it.
