    A sheep skin seat cover and kidney belt are must-haves for long days on the bike. Impressive distances in some pretty grim conditions. If I had a choice I would ride a Suzuki V-Strom 650 or Honda TransAlp 750 on such a long haul, much smoother engines and easier cruising.

    I was actually at my desk, planning the logistics for my September moto adventure, when this video popped up on UA-cam. I was fretting over whether 4000 miles on a Versys X300 was doable in 16 days... And here you are doing more than double that on a KLR, in a day less. I think I'll be just fine. Thanks for sharing!

      I vary from 50 to 75 or 80 tops. This trip was spent at the higher end of my range depending on where I was. I adjust the doohickey per manufacturer specs and it is stock. I definitely burn oil now at those higher speeds. I'm adding a few oz of oil every other fuel up. Mine started burning a little oil around 20k miles if I remember right.

    You took the long way going from Kalispell To West Yellowstone. A faster way is to go down highway 83 through Seely Lake down to Helena then it is straight south to West Yellowstone.

      I had been over 93 before and loved the road though. We wanted to drop down that way just to do some trail riding. Which maybe there is plenty more of that on 83 also. 😂

    Dang! My butt hurts just from watching that. Brought back a lot of memories from my own similar trip. Loved it. Thanks.

    Nice ride. 2800 miles in 3 days on a KLR has got to be a Guinness World Record.

      I don't know what the record is, but I'd consider competing for it if I did. 😂😂

    Those miles are crazy on any bike even on a goldwing I would need a chiropractor and massage at the end of each of those days great video.

      😂 Bigger bikes might be faster at getting the miles in, but whatever you ride, that is long mileage for sure.

    so if I understand you right, you was running 65 to 70 MPH on the road. The reason I ask is because I keep mine around 60 to keep the vibration down.

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650 День тому

      Yes, I spend a lot of time in the 70 MPH range. The bike does run notably more efficiently and burns less oil at 60.

      How much oil are you burning? My 2022 has 22k on the clock and doesn’t seem to burn any in between the 3,000mi OCI’s. Most of my riding miles are at or above 70mph as well. Thanks for sharing your trip. Looks fun!

    I use the peel on visor film for anti fog. I ride year round it works great!

    WOW! Thanks. Nearly all of the videos for KLRs in Alaska are riding to Alaska, not riding from. This is good.
