Dirt bikes get WD40 on the chain every ride. Just keeps the water off.
Halls of Torment. $5 game on steam that is like a Vampire Survivors clone, but with more rpg elements to it.
It's not usually enough power to make a big difference, and it can raise the noise level to a point where you might not like how it sounds on longer rides. Some can provide weight reduction, but again not a lot.
Take it through some gravel right away to scrub that release agent off.
Exhaust pipe is just a consumable
Did they balance the wheel when they put the new tires on? Should be really obvious without a passenger though.
lol same. Nightmare scenario for off-road riders is just sending it into a pond with some throttle oopsie.
How does this compare to the SV650? I loved that thing when I did a demo ride on it.
Could be a bug in the ECU where it's not reading something properly. Or it's valve lash, but 5 min isn't enough time for them to cool down to make it easier to start.
Why did the previous owner sell? Such a nice bike.
I don't think the MT-09 needed premium either. Should be fine.
We used to ride the heavy dual sports through pretty much everything, but this mud hole got him good. He ended up trying to wedge out with a dead tree, but it knocked his chain off, making the situation much worse. Eventually we pulled it out with a z-line and got the chain back on.
If you're in a situation like this, and shit ain't moving no matter what you do, lie the bike over on it's side (yes in the mud) and pull the front and rear until you're on something more solid. Your paint will not thank you, but it's better than leaving it there to get recovery tools.
Any warm day in the winter, I'll hit the trails behind my house.
Small pond near one of our off-road riding areas.
Loved this thing but wasn't doing much dual sport with it. For technical trail riding it's hard to beat a real dirt bike.
He's 5 today
Went shopping for new boots, brought home a front tire for one of the dirt bikes. Thankfully, like all KLR riders, I had bungies in the bag.

The advancements in this space have moved so fast, it's hard to extract a predictive model on where we'll end up and how fast it'll get there.
Meta releasing LLaMA produced a ton of innovation from open source that showed you could run models that were nearly the same level as ChatGPT with less parameters, on smaller and smaller hardware. At the same time, almost every large company you can think of has prioritized integrating generative AI as a high strategic priority with blank cheque budgets. Whole industries (also deeply funded) are popping up around solving the context window memory deficiencies, prompt stuffing for better steerability, better summarization and embedding of your personal or corporate data.
We're going to see LLM tech everywhere in everything, even if it makes no sense and becomes annoying. After a few years, maybe it'll seem normal to have a conversation with your shoes?
