Must be the BIGGUNS. This might be a stupid question but I did not notice a marking for a particular rotation can these tyres be mounted either way?

It's like hanging each of your ********* over your handlebars and just praying that you don't hit a tree!

That's too funny!

shaydara..that is the sweetest pic of a stock klx250 I have ever seen! Better than any kawasaki posts in their adds. I had to save it. Nice ride too, congrats.

Get yourself some barkbusters. I always cringe when I see somebody running the stockers.

'Cept your digits aren't nearly as useful as your testes
On my first trail ride on the KLX, I dumped on a slimy hill climb and my fingers got caught between the front brake lever and the bars.

Glad it wasn't my nuts![sm=outcold.gif]

Thanks for all of the great input about the photo! I work for a photographic company and we take people diving around the Great BarrierReef. We then take photo's of them underwater and on Green Island. I would love to work for a motorbike magazine one day....................what better way to spend your day taking photo's of bikes and riding them, what a dream! Talking about tyres whats a good set of offroad tyres?
Cheers!

Depends on terrain, but for a great all-round off-road tire you'll be hard pressed to beat the Kenda TrakMaster II, aka K760 for the rear. I'm currently running that on my KTM and previously ran it on my KLX. It hooks up well in just about everything I've tried it in, and corners very well also. While cornering it breaks loose in a civilized manner so you feel it going before it completely goes giving you time to adjust. For the front, I'm very much liking my Bridgestone E661. I've been running this tire a little over a week and find it stays well planted in all conditions I've ridden it in. Others have mentioned another front, but I can't recall what it is - K776 maybe? That one looks decent too, but I don't yet have direct experience with it.

EDIT: I should mention that some folks have experimented with trials tires especially for the rear and just about everyone that tries them says they work great, better than a knobbie in almost all conditions. I may try one for my next rear tire.
