Al, Loved your story! I see it all the time! The best weather here in Florida is also the most dangerous! Too many dang Snowbirds are on the roads and they are...
Finally got a day off, so I got my new Pirelli Diablo Strada tire mounted and ready to go on the back of the ZRX. Now, I need to take it out for a nice ride...
... Love to. Could you drop by about 7:00? ;o) Actually, I'm sorta grounded right now with a bad rotator cuff. I've got an 'old Wing ride to Yellowstone in...
Ed, Start lifting your beer with the LEFT hand! Makes all the difference in the world when you get old! At least that's what Gordon told me! Hope you're...
LOL. I had a ZRX ride planned today with friends and showed up for the breakfast meeting in my truck. You know I'm hurting when I pass on a ride. I see the...
Ed, Surgery is not a whole lot of fun. On the Yahoo ZRX ride, all I need to do is get some time off. Just started a new job 2 months ago. Not able to take...
I've got a week-long Gold Wing ride planned to Yellowstone in two weeks and a weekend Gold Wing ride to south-central Tennessee in late September. Then I've...
Where in Tennesse and what part of September? I'll be in Ducktown on September 17th & 18th. Maybe we can finally get together. I'll be dualsporting on the...
I'll be in Fayetteville the following weekend for a small charity ride being put on by a friend. Hey, speaking of KLR650s ;o) The husband of one of my...
... KLR's are usually lowered by adding a "lowering link" to the rear suspension linkage. Replacing the new link with an original one should bring it back up....
... should ... fork ... Many thanks, Paul. I was hoping it'd be something fairly simple and inexpensive. He's a brand new rider, and I'd like to give him all...
... Seems that there are quite a few people who have both a ZRX and KLR. Must be something about them that make both attractive to certain riders (although the...
Ed, The rear suspension on a KLR650 is 'high-tech' - at least as 'high- tech' stuff was back in 1987. It is the same suspension now as it was then, no changes...
Mike, I like to think of the KLR and the ZRX as being at opposite ends of the Speed Spectrum! Not that it matters that one makes 36 rwhp and the other makes...
Paul, One of the guys I know also has a machine shop. He cut me a pair of "raising links" for my KLR650. It adds 1.25 inches to the ride height, but more...

He and his wife are on vacation this week and outa town. I did email the link to www.klr650.net, so I bet you hear from him. He's in Russellville, Arkansas,...
Anyone out there had success putting a larger windscreen (like a plexifairing) on a ZRX? I REALLY like this bike but need better wind protection to make it my...
Hey Mark, Did you check out this thread? http://www.zrxoa.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=91212 It got mixed reaction, but the guy said it was easy to...
I've got a Targa on mine, and it was a big help. I really bought it because I skinned my stock shield on a guard rail (long story), and the Targa was the most...
To be honest I reckon you might be better with another bike, a ZZR, VFR, etc, putting a fairing on a ZRX kinda spoils the concept. Regards. ... the ... wind...
The rex can do everything; there's a local guy (with Cali Cruisers) who put highway pegs on his engine guards and removed his cowling to install a tall rifle...
I'm with Rob on this. I toured for years on an '86 FJ1200, and though I would have been more comfortable on a Gold Wing or something, I sure wouldn't have had...
Knet, Sorry about your feelings on this issue. But it really hasn't been much of any forum - I mean 5 messages in the first 8 days of August does not mean it's...
There's not enough posts of ANY kind here! I'd welcome just about any motorcycle related talk. The KLR list is the 2nd largest of all the Yahoo motorcycle...
A few weeks ago I went riding in the rain. Yes, I do that. If it's raining in Little Rock and it's not raining in NW Arkansas, I won't let the rain in Little...
Okay, okay, Just bought both the front and rear race stands from Kawasaki. Nice sturdy wheels for the front stand. They are large enough for a skateboard! The...
