I'm 250 nekid. I understand the klr is a little soft. Also know that thrashing offroad is not what I initially plan on doing. I got the KLR vs more powerful bikes because I literally just want to tractor around on it. Gravel roads, blm fire roads ect. I do not need a perfectly set up suspension till I feel I'm ready to take bigger leaps on it. 

With what you have stated, I think that bike will meet your current needs plus you have great fire roads just south of you. Give a shout if you need a wing man, I have a shitload of routes below I-70. I have been spending a lot of time in East Ohio just south of Woodsfield, Love the gas/oil routes. I am planning a possible trip down to Talladega National Forest next week for two day's of adventure stuff, (72deg's)  Stay Safe. B.

Tim, How much do you weight in with gear and a day ride worth of snacks.

Started on my V-Strom winter maintenance check and service. Get ready for a winter trip to Talladega National Forest for a weekend ADV riding around the area.

Drove down to SC. for Turkey Day with wife's relatives. Dinner is Friday, So road all day on some northern parts of the SCAR.

I forgot the one Dragon photo of 2021 November on the V-Strom with Mitas E07's freshly scrubbed in.

Looks like fun buddy 

It was a true blessing to enjoy the beauty of the Smoky Mountain and enjoy the trails.

That’s a bummer. What about something on EBay?

Checked E-Bay $95.00 but...Only up to 2012. checked they don't match up.

I am going to try to pressure it up and try to find the leek, may have to peel back the flange then I can try to JBW it if I can see the sweet spot.

I'll just have to put a new one on my Christmas list just below the 2022 Black Honda Monkey.

Took a small hit/ding to my lower front seam on the outlet tank side. Can't see it but drips out during operations.

Tried stop leek and JBW on seem, NoGo. Need shop repair or new one is $750.00

Any Shops that can handle this??

Prost!

Spent the day NE of Marietta enjoying the colors and lite traffic for a 350 mile day ride.

Scooters can be Bad Ass too.
In Germany in the 80s with a bunch of drunk Army guys, we laughed and sneered at a Gang riding Mopeds and Scooters, wearing leathers and chains.
Almost got our asses kicked when they came back and we found out they were like the local Hells Angels.  😁

Wow, You brought back memories of the good old days for me. Yes, the Moped Gangs in Germany. There license system would only restrict 15YO's to under 50cc's and at 16YO to 125cc's. So they were all over the place. I was 24 YO on my second tour over there and had a Yamaha XS1100 cafed out and this gave me great respect with the Moped Gangs. The 80's I was stationed in Bad Kreuznach-8th. ID. Thanks for the memories.

Most likely going to replace it with a 17-18 Kawasaki Versys 1000lt or repurpose my V-Strom to a more street tour and pick up a Honda CFR300Rally to keep my dirty riding needs met.

ADV "lite" Ride Thursday 9/16
I am going to ride the "JimBo's Burgers and Beer" ADV route we did in June. Start (9AM-9:15) 23356 OH-56, South Bloomingville, OH 43152.
AM. Route 1 is 72miles / PM. Route 2 is 76 miles.
Spirited Pace. Conditions should be great. No Dust and light weekday Hocking traffic.

Lunch can be had at Jimbo's

I am back home now. 4 Days of great riding the asphalt curves and the shit load of frack trails that are all over the area. Have a great week end.

B.

No, My wife stopped by for dinner last night. I start riding a 8am sharp and slam the Frack roads and two tracks till 1 or 2 in the afternoon when it's 90+ outside. So a 6:30-7pm dinner departure is a it late for me. I might try the Marietta Brewing co. tonight or walk over to Applebee's fo wings and a burger tonight.

Just landed and checked in at the Microtel after a 125mile ADV back road ride in the shade for the most part. Looking forward to some early morning day rides this week on the East side.

Had a great ADV ride today on the Trans Ohio Trail Sections 7-6 and 5.

Wahoo, your old bike was in the group.
