Default Ever Notice...


Did you ever notice how the mirrors and handgrips are off center from each other. Also from what I've seen from my own as well as my friends KLX's, the right side of the handlebar (throttle side) is anywhere from .5" to 1" longer than the left side. Anyhow if you stare at it long enough the bike looks lopsided!

I knew about the handguards being off center, but I didn't know the right side is almost a 1" longer.

Now I'm wondering, wheres that tape measure. [>:]

Did you happen to hit a streetsign at any point?

I had to measure my bars. Both sides measure evenly.

Didn't get OCD until I bought the KLX! Oh and the picture is from BikePics, not my bike (which is really off center). And yes, those mirrors are weird and uneven...

If that bothers you, check out the footpegs... They're way off, and way too small.
Drove me nuts until I modded them.

.....twoof theimprovements of the '09- new handlebars and footpeg positioning. Oh, and evidently near idle low-end power. My '09 will climb very steep grades at very low rpm and very little throttle. It's quite impressive tbh.[:-]

Now, where's that Muzzy at? DOH!! shiyt.[&o]
