www.progressivesuspension.com Skeefoo recently bought a KLR650, and when he came for a visit we decided to install one of the extra sets of forks springs I received from Progressive Suspension. They are super easy to install, just take off the cap, pull the old spring and spacer out. Cut the spacer in half, and drop everything back down the hole. Do one side at a time and you won't even need to put the bike up on blocks. After testing out the difference between stock and the aftermarket springs we came to the conclusion that they feel very similar. Because a large portion of the aftermarket spring is exactly like the stock spring. The aftermarket spring begins to work it's magic when you are really hitting some heavy bumps, and compress the spring to that final bit which saves you from bottoming out. Upgrading the KLR's suspension is one of the first things people do to their bike. If your gonna spend a few months living out of your bike you should probably do everything you can to make it as comfortable as possible.

DIY: Mounting a motorcycle tire tutorial

DIY: Mounting a motorcycle tire tutorial Tube. Duration : 10.05 Mins.
This video is a walk-through/tutorial on how to mount a new motorcycle tire. I bought a new tire way back in a video Shopping with Skeefoo, and I'm just now getting around to installing it. This was the first time I'd ever mounted my own tire. I think it's one of those things a lot of riders are afraid to do, and prefer to spend the money having a professional do it. I used a couple of cheap tire levers (amzn.to and had my new rubber mounted, tube back in, and wheel on the bike in only about 30 minutes. This certainly isn't rocket science. You just need a couple of levers and a bit of determination and you will be changing your own tires in no time at all. Save your money, ride more. One of the more difficult parts of the install was getting the valve stem of the tube back through the rim. I had to monkey with it for quite a while. Someone suggested I pick up on of these handy Valve Stem Pullers (amzn.to Looks like a great idea. I didn't worry about balancing the tire, this ain't no race bike if you know what I mean. I've since had it over 60 mph a few times and haven't noticed any vibrations from the tire. Having the proper tools, and knowing how to change/repair a tire on the side of the road is a skill every adventure rider should know. I road from Utah to Panama on my BMW and had no clue what to do if I got a flat tire. I didn't even have the tools to take the wheel off. Thankfully luck was on my side during that ride, and I didn't have any problems.
