She is ditching the red graphics in favor of some simpler black and silver ones.

The street sign yellow is staying

Kaw4Life · 02-09-2009, 03:06 PM

Maybe a nice shade of Lime Green !

I will take some pics if I do.

What was the non-starting issue...? Got it figured out aye..? Cool Beans...

Think he'll ride with us...?

The SP is coming along, we put the frame back on the engine and tranny now I need to finish up the wiring of the new EME alternator and assemble the fianl drive and swing arm.... Wait to go for a test blast...

The Eldo is up on a stand now too....

With the recent melt I have been able to see the drivewway again too...!

Come on Spring...!

Ciao,

Seemed to be just vacuum lines on the carbs and maybe something stuck in one. When it first fired up it still only ran on 1 cyl then we let it cool and checked the plugs and such. fired it back up and now it runs on both cyl.

needs a gremlin bell

I will try to stop out either Friday or this weekend to check progress.

I have my Bandit tore down for service so I may need pointers

I've been lurking for a while, and decided it's time to join up! My name is Nick, and I'm from L-Town.
I'm looking forward to taking part in the tag thread

Well I finally did it. Traded my cruiser in for a KLR. I was hoping to get a new DL1000 but with the lousy economy I decided a KLR would be perfect for now.

Plus I still have my Bandit for when I need to Blast around or take the wifey along

Here she is lightly used 2007 KLR650 with 3400 miles and no mods. Except for the tank bag I attached as a tail bag. Gotta be thrifty to own a KLR

radguzzi · 02-21-2009, 06:53 PM

Nice dude, you gonna ride that over tomorrow..?

I likes the red ones...

Hi all from Searsport. Nice to see the Maine Thread idea. Long time rider myself. Presently on a Ural Patrol. But going back to two wheels soon I think.
Cheers

Hi

What color is your Vstrom?

It's 38 degrees at my house. If my bikes weren't snowed in....

I may have seen you around Bangor. I've noticed a few Vstroms, both blue and black in my travels. I work in Bangor and ride my Suzuki in from West Enfield daily.

Am going to dig out the shed and see if the KLX will start

Lobster Grrl · 02-22-2009, 12:47 PM

The cold blooded KLX wouldn't start. Maybe in another couple of weeks if it warms up. Next year I'm going to park it in a heated garage, get some studded tires for the beast and have some fun on the ice.

16 inches of snow precdicted for tonight.
