This has been an educational thread for me. Mental note: No Husas', no ktm 525 for me on tight single track riding.

OK, I'm the new guy with one week of KLX ownership and absolutely no meaningful contributions to this site to date so I should know better than do what I'm about to do. Based on the pics and the description it is a minor miracle that this didn't end with one or more guys in a helicopter headed to the nearest burn unit. The only point of this post is to warn others that a vehicle fire is extremely dangerous and it is almost always smart to get the hell away from it. Having witnessed an ATV burn to the ground and a car fire that burned the garage off the side of a house with kids inside I can tell you these stories don't always end like this one did. Very glad that everyone is OK!!!

I completely agree...we really didnt want to set the entire woods on fire. 3 Gallons of firey gas goes a long way. THe guy in blue is a fire fighter, so he knew what he was doing and i have messed with fire enough to know how it works....
