For those of you who ride, what do you think your split between street and dirt riding is? I'm in the market for a KLR650 and I love the super moto look, but with more street friendly tires how tough is riding off road?

I'm interested in the bigger 650cc bikes because I don't live right on top of any trails and would need to ride 45m-1hr to get to some good trails.

I really like the Husky 610 for that kind of riding. Which some aggressive tires you can do dirt roads easy enough, and can be geared for road fun.

Thanks. I just used Rustoleum Auto. It was for plastic bumper touch up. I had problems like that with my wr400 which was posted previously in this thread. It chipped really bad and cracked. So I used 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of color, and 1 coat of wet sanded clear under another coat of clear. Prep for this was a BITCH and took forever. To patch the whole I bought some drywall mesh tape from Home Depot and some bondo.

Nice job repairing the plastics.

What paint did you use? I did the same thing on my old 450 but over time it started to crack and spiderweb. New plastics was only $100 for the whole set iirc

Worked on my 2003 klx400 a bit over the weekend.
Before:








All the plastics had extreme scarring and paint that was destroyed from PO:



And the worst of all:



And after repainted and repair panels, some maintenance, and a good scrub with some wd-40, a scrub brush, and a steel wool pad.

Great looking bike. Looks like fun.

Thanks!

I want an LC4 KTM soooooo bad

They are pretty sweet motors. Some guys put some serious mileage on these things and they're still going strong.

that bike is dead sexy. I want those wheels for my 525

Thanks man. The wheels are Excel Takasgo.
