ADVX, here we come

The publisher has decided AdvRiderMag needs a story on ADVX. He’s entered on his 1190 and decided the editor should run the KLR (otherwise the publisher might not get pictures of himself in the mag). That meant the KLR had a definite ride to aim at. That helps shape tuning in a big way.

The bike’s being prepared for ADVX, so it goes everywhere with the swag, tools and other luggage in place.

Last issue the mighty KLR had its footpegs moved and had settled in after blotting its copybook on an earlier ride. We wondered about lower gearing, some suspension work, and maybe a lighter, more open pipe.
