    How many of you guys bought the temp switch rather than install a manual fan switch?

    After doing a lot of research here, I went ahead and ordered the radiator fan switch kit from VMax Outlaw. Between that, new antifreeze and the water-wetter I hope to eliminate the overheating problem. It was 65 degrees today and within 2 long red lights, the temp was going to the red. I had to...

    People come to see my KLR for sale and all they do is ogle the Vmax

    "Is that a V-4?".. "I heard that hauls ass", on and on. Then they ask me why I'm selling the KLR and leave here looking for a Vmax. I guess I need to hide Max! :bang head::punk:

    Maybe I won't feel so bad if I tell myself I'm restoring it - bent fork issue

    I briefly mentioned the bent forks in another thread, but another problem has surfaced (or I noticed it) because of it. It's been so windy you couldn't hear it, but the front brakes are scraping. I'm sure it's because the forks are bent and the pads aren't perfectly square with the wheel. It's...

    Speedo rattle

    Hi everyone and apologies if this has been covered. I did a search and couldn't find anything on it. It's driving me crazy, it rattles between 2500 and 4000 rpms, when the bike is pulling hard off the bottom. I can touch the speedo glass and it stops, but I can't figure out how to do anything...

    I'd post more here, but I can't stop riding

    Or looking at it, or sitting on it, or messing with it. So I might be scarce, but I have benefited from all the wisdom you guys have shared. :biglaugh: And I appreciate it. I have a few things to address on the bike. Ordered front brake pads today (EBC), ordered a new K&N air filter today,got...
