Those definitely didn't last long for you. Did you do more on-road or off-road riding with them?

@@therapyontwowheels8923 Lots of gravel. I live in Montana. 244's this next summer

Not yet @CoastlinesCollide. I may make the change if I end up doing more highway miles in the future, but for now it works fine for the type of riding I do. I'm typically not on the highway for more than 15-20 minutes at a time and usually cruising around 70mph. I like the current amount of torque I get at the lower RPMs, especially in 2nd gear when offroading.

@@therapyontwowheels8923 nice! looks like a very useful cheap mod

Hi @rosarioroberto5825, the bike handles very well around town. There is enough torque to get you off the line quickly on city streets when needed. As long as you don't go full throttle from a stop in first gear, the power surge is very manageable. There will be a little clutch control needed up to about 8-10 mph. From there, you can let the clutch go and shift up to second gear around 20-25 mph. You can twist the throttle all the way in 2-4 with no issues and get a decent amount of torque down low. I like darting around town on this bike and wringing the throttle from light to light.

WOW, you really nailed it, about my question. Again Thank you so much. You gave me the confidence to purchase one. Stay safe.​@@therapyontwowheels8923

@Mikethebike-ov1yp sounds like we had very similar upgrades added with the windscreen and footpegs. Wonderful bike to own long term. Very dependable and is a bike you can take almost anywhere. Ride safe!

Thanks for the advice, @cj-fortes_atque_fidelis. I'm going to be trying different go pro attachments on my helmet chin mount for the next few videos to try and get the perfect viewing angle. Just figured out how to improve my microphone quality for riding reviews, so next I'll be focusing on my camera settings and making adjustments as needed. I'm always open to feedback and appreciate the views. Ride safe!

Actually, this was a great review. I'm more interested in what he has to say than award-winning cinematography. Thanks for the upload.​@@therapyontwowheels8923

Awesome. It's a great tire for primarily on road riding. Plenty of grip in turns and increases the confidence while riding at highway speeds or in the twisties. Have fun!

Thanks for the support, @rosarioroberto5823. I am working on a long-term riding review right now. Should be posted shortly.

They do, but you need to tighten them up a bit more than normal to pull them up higher on both sides without the brackets. I made the mistake of having them too low on my first few rides and the tires started burning a whole through one of the bags. Just tighten those straps up so the bags sit a little higher and you will be fine.

@@therapyontwowheels8923 I bought some universal brackets on Amazon. They are just brackets metal brackets that point down and give a little clearance. I have not tried to put them on the bike yet but hopefully they fit. I'll try sometime this weekend. But good to know. Even if they don't pulling the bags up a little higher than normal will do the job. Thanks

I hope your Boxer is doing OK. I have two pups of my own. These tires have been working out great. I have around 2,000 miles on them so far and no signs of wear yet. Just as comfortable on wet pavement as they are on dirt paths. Couldn't be happier with them for the price.

@jlborish these are the Tubless 705s.

No worries @erinsonduran6663, rear is 130/80-17 and front is 90/90-21.

@@therapyontwowheels8923 thanks 😊

@@therapyontwowheels8923 any issues with the 90/90x21 on the front? Shinko recommends a minimum rim width of 1.85 and the KLR has a front rim width of 1.60.

@danledbetter9535 that sounds like a fun trip. These tires should have no problem with a 5,000 mile trip, depending on the terrain. I'm only at about 1,500 miles on mine (~70% on road/30% off road), but there are no signs of wear on either tire yet. Many of the gen 3 KLR forums I have seen have stated a minimum of 6-7,000 for the rear and 10k+ for the front. The hot weather in the summer may decrease these numbers a little bit if doing a lot of pavement riding.

@optumx it is. Had it done at a trusted local shop. There are markers with arrows on the front tire that indicate the direction the tire should be mounted.

Awesome, let me know how they work out for you. May have to try the same combo out myself. I ride probably 70/30 steet/dirt. All of the trails I ride to are at least 15-20 miles away from my house, most highway miles, so knobbys just won't work for me.

I would sure would love to hear you talk about the feedback your getting on the dirt and gravel and not music...

@1991430 I do, just added a link to the installation guide PDF in the video description.

These are very forgiving bikes and would be a great one to start on for your first manual bike. Easy to flat foot at stops at 6'3, easily maneuverable at under 500bs, but still has plenty of acceleration if you go full throttle. Enjoy the ride!

Here are the bars I purchased on Ebay. www.ebay.com/itm/134004671189?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180105095858%26meid%3Dbfe6f395b72d4a9ab75c595404259fa7%26pid%3D100904%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D283881688765%26itm%3D134004671189%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2332490&_trksid=p2332490.c100904.m5276 Took about an hour or so to install both sides by myself. Didn't come with any instructions so I had to email the seller for more info. Few pieces of plastic to remove which was easy, but you do have to unhook I believe it was the clutch cable to bolt the bars to the middle of the frame on the right side. I put cruiser pegs on the ends of the crash bars to be able to stretch out my legs on longer rides.

ruclips.net/video/KRjK9HnftEI/видео.html For the cruiser pegs.

Awesome. They are great bikes. Super reliable, great gas mileage, and just enough of a punch to have some fun with it too.

I found them on Amazon. Here is the link Adjustable New Floorboards Foot Pegs Compatible with/Replacement For Honda CTX700 CTX700N CTX700ND (Rider) a.co/d/f2FWI15

Here is another similar option if you are still looking for one. www.ebay.com/itm/134004671189?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180105095858%26meid%3Dbfe6f395b72d4a9ab75c595404259fa7%26pid%3D100904%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D283881688765%26itm%3D134004671189%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2332490&_trksid=p2332490.c100904.m5276

I 100% agree with your experience. It definitely has shorter first and second gears. I got into the habit of shifting out of first gear around 50 kmph, and second gear around 70 kmph. It can be a bit abrupt when shifting around redline, which comes way too early in my opinion. Mid range around 3,500 to 5,000 rmp has plenty of power and torque in 4th and 5th gear (which is where this bike loves to be), but I would love to have more top end in each as well.

@@therapyontwowheels8923 thank you so much

Ha! So true.

Hey outie555, I have a short torso and longer legs and had a couple inches of wind buffeting at the top of my helmet. If you have a long torso at 6', I would recommend going with the 24" to be on the safe side if you don't mind the larger screen. Helps out tremendously though.

@@therapyontwowheels8923 cool, thanks for that useful info!

Interesting. I am 6 ft tall and with the 18 inch model all the way down I am barely looking over the windshield. If I raise it I am looking through the windshield. I also purchased the kickstand foot, but I had to take it off. Mine did not have excessive lean and when I added the footprint it was way too tippy.

The seat pad gave me at least another 2-3 hours of riding compared to riding around without it. Definitely comes in handy on those long haul trips over 3-4 hours of riding.

Great tip @Kevin C. Hopping into a car and driving off takes all of about 10 seconds. Taking off and putting on gear, especially in winter when you're all layered up, definitely adds significant time to that process. Whenever I plan a longer day trip I always forget to account for this added time. It can realistically add a full hour to a day trip just taking off/putting on gear.

It's always nice to hear from a fellow enthusiast. I'm riding the G-Force ZM fat tire electric bike. Before I started making videos, I was riding off-road on a Suron Light bee X. That thing was a beast off-road, but it is basically an electric dirt bike. The G-Force ZM is good, but not meant for serious off-road use. This was my first time trying it out in the dirt.

Thanks!

If you’re coming from Vegas there is a Chevron gas station at the beginning of the Valley of Fire Hwy right off the 15 freeway. Only 25 miles to the White Dome Trail which is as far as you can go. Should be no problem with the MT03. If you want a more scenic route from Vegas I have also traveled up and around Lake Mead where there is a Sinclair gas station near Echo Bay (closed on the weekends though unfortunately).

Lol didn’t even notice. They worked just fine after I put them on that way so I never gave it a second thought. Just switched them around to see which way I like better.

Awesome. They are surprisingly sturdy and can be adjusted to fit on almost any bike. Easy to put on and pull off the bike within 30 seconds or so.

@@therapyontwowheels8923 Thanks again! I just ordered a set, and picked up some materials to make some pannier supports to keep them off my tail fairing and exhaust.
