Good video....I've noticed some movement on the highway....I might try the fork brace if it does make a difference 🙂

Hey Ben how you liking the NiceCNC foot pegs us KLR’ers really don’t need to spend $300 on pegs eh! Do the rip your soles up a bit they look quite aggressive … thanks for all your great info 😊👍
@adventurebikesaustralia76273 ай бұрын
Hi mate, thanks for reaching out. I’m really enjoying the foot pegs. They don’t seem to be too harsh on the soles of my shoes, but to be fair, my shoes were fairly worn when I started! I’m due for a new pair soon so will let you know more when so can.

I'd be looking at the steering head bearings before fitting a fork brace. The klr did have a batch of poorly manufactured and fitted head bearings. Pull the front apart and see if there's any notchyness in the movement. Re grease refitt and re tension to spec. The second thing I'd inspect is the rear shock. That can cause more front end issues than most think. A worn shock or even linkages or bushes can cause enough play to induce a weave.
@adventurebikesaustralia76273 ай бұрын
All good ideas there. I haven't had any problems with low speed steering, which is where I think a lot of the people were complaining there was a problem. I've also replaced the entire rear shock assesmbly with aftermarket gear, so it's only done maybe 4k kms. But I'll definitely have a look at it.

I enjoyed the footage of your ride. I’ve tweaked my back so I have to take it easy. This ride looks a little similar to some of the logging roads we have in Canada. Some of the older roads are so eroded they are very challenging.

It’s probably all sorted but your shifting issue is the new pegs are setting your foot differently. I had the same issues until I changed my shifter …

Interesting. Definitely possible, as I hadn’t experienced before swapping the pegs. Do I need a longer shifter?

@@jackwhite2422 Good point about the KLX, but there must be more than a few things going for the KLR, coz the KLX is extinct, and the KLR is still here nearly 40 years later.
