Quick connects for fuel and it can be removed in about 15 minutes. Total capacity is 4.4 gal. A few carb adjustments and it pulls like a train and still gets over 50mpg.

Hey, nice bike

Dan, I'd say that betwwen the two bikes I saw (which had higher miles than yours), prior to buying Ray's bike, that you should be between $1900-$2200 if it's all good. Look at AV8TR on the group pix. I think it went for ~$2200. Although it's newer than your "C". Didn't see your pix on the site?

Pete, I was going to post on the group site $2500 for everything, but I need something to ride until I get the R6.

Anyone have some side panels? White or red would be cool. Guess I could go black also. Need the ones under the seat.

Hey all, just checking in. I've got a 93-C. Great to see other KLXers around still (hard to find anyone who even knows what they are). Only worry I have with the bike is that I am NOT mechanically inclined at all, so I worry about every noise the bike makes. Would love a larger tank, wind screen and more comfy seat.

Duck1 · 06-01-2007, 09:16 PM

Its awesome to see someone able to ride 2 up on the KLX. I'm 6'6", and I barely fit on the bike myself...let alone with someone else.

BENRON · 06-01-2007, 09:58 PM

Now that Ive got the big tank, Time to throw some more money at her.

New triple clamp and mounts for the R version. They had the vibration isolated bars

.

Will take a little bit of doing to mount the gages and ignition switch to it, But I think it'll be worth it to get bars that don't make my hands go numb.

JB KLXnotR · 06-02-2007, 11:28 PM

I absolutely love my KLX and would choose it over the KLR without question. 80 % of the 18,000 miles that I've
put on it were off-road and I've taken that thing places it
had no business going including off a cliff and aside from
the fact that it's a tank it's handled it pretty damn good.
