    No problemo Sir :lol3, I want to do it by the book cuz I like to keep this bike, Where I bought the kit (and in the bb kit remarks) it said must go easy/mild rpm revs the first 40-50 miles (mechanic suggested too). After that change oil/filter and ride it like u stole it. :wink:...

    If you want to go I am going to probably have one other with me and we could take the trailer if you want to ride with.

    Most definately! Most of it will be doable on the klr, but the unexplored section would kill you on it!
