I was able to surprise the Boys this year at the D100 even with a bad shoulder

I just put a few more stickers on my bike when I added some new parts. I feel the bike pulls a lot more stronger now. Feels like it added at least .5 HP.

Baloney!...the suspension revalving didn't help me a bit when I fell over while we were parking at the Kane Creek overlook...engine off...bike stopped. I want my money back...LOL!

Hey...that little tipover in the soft dirt there actually put a small crack in my overflow catch tank at the rear of the bike. Wasn't a problem for the rest of trip, and thankfully that part isn't very expensive...but I was still disappointed that the suspension work didn't help while parking...LOL!

The OP seems to have disappeared? Too busy riding to post up?

I agree, no sense in keep posting on this thread if the original person who started does not want to be part of it. I don't care how busy someone gets, if you post a question or looking for info, that person should check back. I know it's only 2-3 days old. l.o.l

Or maybe he forgot his user name and password. I've done that before.

Not sure how relevant this is to this sub-forum, but maybe a troll from a Yami site seeing if we would rip on the Yamaha and say how "great" the KLX250 is. *shrug*
