First off, I'm a new rider. I bought the KLX just a few weeks ago and have put on about 175 miles so far driving in the city of Atlanta, which is actually a lot of riding time considering the weather we've had lately and the traffic.

What I learned today is that driving thru intersections, down shifting, braking and looking for oncoming traffic is extremely difficult. It made me realize that just when you think you're getting comfortable you can never relax on a bike.

Also learned what it feels like when the bike runs out of gas and you have to pull over on the side of the road in order to switch the tank to reserve.

I love my KLX so far, I just wish the seat was a little more comfortable.

 

Did you take the MSF class? If not I would recommend it to anyone with more than one stoplight in their town.

 

congrats on your ride time.

 

Not yet.....but I've already looked into it. I've been told it's invaluable.

 

Yah, don't ever get too comfortable on the streets. Act like you're invisible because to some people you are.

Ride safe, good times.

 

Driving in ATL traffic is tough no matter how long you've been riding.
Head to the hills, you'll enjoy it.
Here ya go this should keep you busy for a while.

Practice turning the petcock while riding the bike at the same time. Just feel for the petcock and keep your eyes on the road. I need to practice this myself.
